Thank you for the responses thus far. I know it may seem like a lost cause and this being the internet definitely has its challenges but that doesn't make our interactions with eachother any less real.
The internet has become very much real to me. I met my husband online, I've made life long friendships with people online - most of whom I will never meet on this side of Heaven. Words are powerful and the Holy Spirit can still move here.
I do agree with Cris, there are areas that are considered "safe havens" and intruding on a mission may seem inappropriate. Thus, respect is crucial esp. if we enter in fellowship areas. I have recently visited an area such as this but have kept to a thread open to those in disagreenment to the beliefs stated by the group. I have found my time there exhausting with a lot of back and forth but I really believe that the Lord is moving. The more we share our Faith the stronger we become.
May we never grow weary in spreading the Good News. Never.
Maybe we can encourage one another when things get tough, because when doing the Lord's work - they always do.
