We continue our series of guest blog articles written by missionaries telling how the Internet impacted their ministry.  Today’s blog article is written by Brian Kirschenbaum, who spent 9 years bringing the gospel to Slovakia.  He writes about how the Internet was a blessing while overseas.  Plus he describes the challenges of feeling overwhelmed by all the possible ways to communicate via the Internet and having to make decisions about how he would use the Internet so it would help his ministry rather than burden or detract from it.

Here is the message I received…

We’re continuing to focus on missions in the month of July.  We’re still looking for missionaries who would like to be guest bloggers and tell how the Internet has impacted their missions work.  Please contact us if you’re interested in writing.

While I have never lived outside the U.S. for an extended period of time, I have done a couple of short-term missions trips.  And I can tell you from personal experience, that blogging while on a short-term missions trip can add a whole new dimension to the trip.
