Is Ministry More Powerful in Person or Over the Web?

I am curious what do think?

Can we be just as powerful over the web with our writings or is one on one still the most effective way to reach the lost?

Well, in the Bible I don't find any records of the Apostles setting up websites and such.

I don't think that ministry over the web can possibly have the same dynamics as being ministered to personally by having hands laid on, and a real actual person standing with you, hearing their voice, feeling their touch and sensing their concern, love and so on.

However I do believe ministry on the web is possible and can be effective as well. Definitely.

I knew I could count on you to put it so clearly, that is what I think exactly!


Although I have been bless many times what people have said over the Internet what brought a true change in my life was that some took the time in person to minister to me.

And then there is the difficulty of executing a "Holy Kiss" over the internet....
