Now, 10 years ahead, I guess in a sense it&#8217;s coming true, although I would not phrase it the same way. I&#8217;d say something like &#8216;The virtual is for real&#8217;, for example: the so-called virtual world (being the Internet) is as real as the soil you&#8217;re standing on. There are millions of people wandering, communicating, working, socialising, living their life on the Internet.<br \/>Today I was in a meeting on Internet Ministry, together with some people from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eo.nl\">EO<\/a>, Agape Europe and Campus Crusade for Christ (represented by <a href=\"http:\/\/rob.orangejack.com\">Rob Williams<\/a> &#8211; check his cool website and loads of pictures on his trip) . It is truly exciting what is happening &#8211; new paradigms in terms of ministry and partnering, endless possibilities&#8230; We are on our way to develop an all-comprising platform for Internet Ministry, supporting our core strategy of &#8216;win-build-send&#8217;. New paradigms arise as we will base this on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opensource.org\">Open Source<\/a> concept. Instead of <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">buying <\/span>software someone else developed and being subject to <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">licencing<\/span>, Open Source is based on the idea of making available whatever you developed yourself. And partnering with EO in this is a privilige, as they clearly have a heart for the Kingdom of God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230; long time ago, that was the slogan of the company I worked for.
