In order to further efforts in mission education, the Maryknoll movement has long engaged all the available communications media. Throughout the 1990s, interest in the world wide web as a means of mission education grew. Individuals and organizational offices learned to use email, blogs, and emerging social media as a way to spread the word about mission. More than simply a means of communication, this was also a new culture in which to discover a means of approach.
Although the Sisters’ website, www.maryknollsisters.org, had long hosted a “post-a-prayer” section, inviting visitors to indicate their prayer intentions, the web as ministry media grew. In Hong Kong, Anastasia Lindawati complemented her ministry with a project to create a twenty-four-hour prayer presence. Her goal is to organize a presence that makes prayer companioning available through a chat-room type environment. More than an on-line perpetual adoration, the idea is to pray together with another person in a moment of need. https://books.google.com.hk/books?id=lQZQX36w6OcC&pg=PA282&lpg=PA282&dq=anastasia+lindawati&source=bl&ots=mI0VrSFGAt&sig=ACfU3U27WqeU9hWauwzgT0So1igzlpbcag&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwic2-TsparoAhUNMN4KHWgDBZc4ChDoATAAegQIChAB#v=onepage&q=anastasia%20lindawati&f=false
