Look Who’s on Facebook

I read last week on Mashable where Pope Benedict XVI has apps on Facebook and iPhone, in addition to his YouTube channel and other forms of social media.

Here’s a line from the front page of the Facebook application:

Spread friendship with the Pope and become a witness of Christ in the world through the web.

The Pope.  On Facebook.  To connect with millions via social networking.  All for the cause of Christ.

Amazing!

The initiative the Vatican is taking here is a reminder to engage with the world around us by the means the world is using to engage with each other.

How are you implementing this in your personal ministry?  How can you be?
