SimChurch:

 

 
Being the Church in the Virtual World
By Douglas Estes (Zondervan)
A 2010 Outreach Resource of the Year

 

“The Christian church is engaging far less than 1 percent of the 70 million people who are active in the virtual world. This means the virtual world is by far the largest unreached people group on planet earth. Simon Jenkins, one of the founders of Church of Fools, remarks that ‘it’s like someone has created a new town and no one has thought to build a church there. It’s almost scandalous.’ We have great work to do.” Douglas Estes, from the book
