I don't doubt that some use this, but getting most Christians past FaceBook would be something of a feat.

I can disagree. I work as a sysadmin/ database admin for a large church. A large portion of the congregation consists of engineers, lawyers, doctors, etc. Granted this is a famously upper-class WASP denomination, but it's a solid spread for a congregation of this size, as I understand.

These people are quite technologically capable, they reach out on Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and others and they have no issues. All our reading materials are digital as well, accessible through QR codes.

All this being said, I can't wait to get out!

Sure, in a passive sense, there is more information dissemination within the church.

That's not the same thing as installing an app on a smart phone and going door-knocking. Putting out fliers in the absence of a "no soliciting" sign is as active as most get.

Now, there are those who travel on bikes in pairs, but then we move on to more divisive topics.
