Mom and Dad are Digital Missionaries?!

What steps are you taking to help employ the spread of the gospel across the digital continent (Bishops Seeking Missionaries for Digital Continent, Nov. 16, 2010)?

As "missionaries", as parents, we cannot remain unaware of the our responsibility to create with our respective skills and talents for our children an environment for proper faith formation that leads to active and enthusiastic participation in the formation of our culture. We are either actively engaged in delivering the positive message of Life in Christ, or sitting in the back row passively allowing a contrary message to stream across the latest handheld devise of our children (Droid Does).

Cross Culture - Are you onboard?

The Catholicism Project - Are you ready to tell your story of faith, redemption and Jesus' joy?

Noteworthy:

"The mission of the laity in the Church is exercised not only within ecclesial structures. Faithful lay people, the salt of the earth and light of the world, contribute toward 'transfiguring the whole of existence through the dynamism of grace and freedom.' The family is a privileged area in which the Christian laity must 'seek the kingdom of God by engaging in temporal affairs and and directing them according to God's will.' The family is the natural source from which pro-life civilization springs, the center where all the values that protect life converge, and the basic social unity of all civilizations at the service of life" (The Family in the Mission of the Laity, June 10, 1988. Enciridion on the Family, p. No. 2293, p. 829).
"With anytime, anywhere access to the Bible, YouVersion Bible App users have downloaded and installed the software from LifeChurch.tv 10.7 million times in just two years and spent over 3.5 billion minutes reading this mobile Bible" (Continental News. Nov. 19, 2010).
"The Catholic tradition continually provides a wealth of sources for the study of Church history and Christian spirituality. Logos Bible Software is proud to offer many resources by Catholic authors that are sure to deepen your knowledge of Christian doctrine and encourage your spiritual devotion" (Logos Bible Software).
Can't make your local bible study to enhance your study of the scriptures, your faith, culture and history from the dusty hilltops of where Christ and the disciples walked. No problem (Logos Bible Study)!

As you consider what strategy you will employ to answer or support the call for missionaries, it may be helpful to better understand what social media is, if this is new for you. Consider What is Social Media to get you started.

Many blessings and looking forward to getting your Tweet on your favorite bible verse!
