Pastor Zack in Outcomes Magazine

wired_for_min Christians Leadership Alliance's Outcomes magazine recently published a glimpse into the life of Mars Hill Pastor of Technology, Zack Hubert. In the article, he talks about blogging, reading Scripture on his iPhone, and the philosophy behind Mars Hill's online network "The City":
More and more, people are connecting online for jobs, romance, or other opportunities through social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook. Each person has a web of relationships based on common interests. So we created TheCity, our church site, designed to reach Seattle for Christ. I see it working like this: A Mars Hill community group leader learns an elderly woman across the street from his house has taken ill, and she doesn't have family in the area to take care of her. Within five minutes, he e-mails an alert to all church members and attenders who live within a mile of her and organizes several work parties. Of course, the real ministry occurs when everyone shows up at her house, when members fall to their knees in prayer, and when the life of the community shows love to the neighborhood. Without TheCity it would take hours to mobilize the same response.
