Technology has changed everything.

Question: How is technology changing the ministry?

Warren:    Technology has changed everything.  I think Rick will probably verify this, but I think we were one of the first churches on the Internet.  But when the . . .  Years ago back in ‘80s, I remember we had a discussion with some of the volunteers in our church who were saying we wanted to buy a computer, and I think it was gonna cost like $8,000.  And I remember them saying, “We will never be able to utilize a computer that big.”  You know and of course . . . you know we have hundreds and hundreds of computers now today for our staff.  So that’s changed everything.  It’s allowed us to be . . . to take our services and put them on the Internet.  You know I’m not the techno person, but I know enough to know that it’s really changed everything.
