Questions to focus on: Mission Resources

These questions can be used at different levels. You can take 30 seconds to think about one or two. You can discuss them in a team or group of like-minded Christians. Or they can be used in a college class, including assignments and research projects, and answered in writing at any depth. They may be freely reproduced for this purpose. Please email us additional questions that could be added to this page.

  1. Is there a need for a 'one-stop' mission resource, along the lines of Dmoz.org?
  2. Every public webpage about mission and missionaries can be viewed by any government or organization anywhere in the world. Spidering software can be used to search automatically for keywords about mission and named inviduals. Emails (even between two people in the West) can be automatically 'sniffed' as the pass along the Internet - and any email to anywhere may be routed around the world, even to reach the a server in the same country! What issues should be part of a security policy for mission websites and email?
  3. How has the Internet transformed communication within missions?
  4. Although almost all mission groups have websites, in the majority of cases they act primarily as static online extended brochures. Can you find examples of missions who have understood the interactive 'community' nature of the Web, and are offering a web experience which involves people interactively?
