Equipping Digital Missionaries for Every Context and Culture

Jeff Reed opens the Digital Missionary Conference by welcoming 1,400 registrants from 85 countries and challenging the assumption that digital ministry requires massive budgets or cutting-edge technology. Drawing on Luke 5's new wineskins passage, he argues the church must embrace new digital spaces—from Facebook groups to virtual reality video games—as legitimate mission fields. The core message: forget reaching millions from one platform; instead, multiply contextualized micro-communities of ten across every digital culture.
