The days of missionaries knocking on door after door may have gone the way of the flip chart and the flannel board. Missionaries are now successfully using digital devices, technology, and online proselyting.
Although this may seem like a recent move for missionaries around the globe to be equipped with smartphones and have access to social media, the roots of digital technology and online efforts date back more than a decade.
The Church News article “A look back on the digital and online developments in the Church’s missionary work” reviews the evolution of missionary use of technology since the late 2000s.
I am grateful for this development!
