| Creator | Sande, Nomatter | |
| Description | Background: The expansion of Pentecostalism is linked to technological innovations giving rise to megachurches and their metamorphosis into e-megachurches.Objectives: This theological inquiry explores the development of Pentecostal megachurches into e-megachurches as a new expression of Christian mission and its impact in the Fifth Industrial Revolution.Methods: The study used a qualitative analysis of secondary sources, focusing on the theological-conceptual reflection methodology.Results: The findings demonstrate that digital tools are now central to shaping missional activities, discipleship, community development and stewardship. However, tensions emerge between the compatibility of technological efficiency with divine spontaneity.Conclusion: The article concludes that technology serves the missio Dei [mission of God].Contribution: The article recommends that a Pentecostal techno-theology of mission should harness digital innovation for both liberative and transformative goals. | |
