That one man, is able to use the internet to broadcast the message of the Truth to the whole world, is a amazing feat if you think about it. He can reach someone with this message, in some far flung part of the world.
What I find to be so valuable is that the internet provides, a means for all of God's people coming out of this world, to have a place to meet together in fellowship. For all of us to be sprinkled around the whole world, yet have daily contact, is a wonderful blessing. Imagine trying to explain this to the Apostles someday
mercy, peace and love
