Using video conferencing software for a Bible study may be a novelty to many and very foreign to some, and as technology evolves we face new opportunities to use tech for good.

Virtual meetings provide a great service to teams working at a distance or those who would like to avoid commuting and take advantage of being able to meet from any location with ease.
