Port cities for spreading the gospel

From today's reading:   When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.  Acts 19:6

I've been at the seminary for the Blandy Lectures.  It's been a great time.  The focus is reaching out to today's generation and the use of social media to increase your influence.  One of the comments - a "loose quote" from a book called, "Linked" - said that Paul was successful because he went primarily to port towns and towns that were crossroads for trade routes.  He would preach in those towns and then the gospel would go out on ships or with caravans to other places.  The book posited that some websites, blogs, and hubs are today's port cities - a place from which ideas and messages can be spread.  

The spread of the gospel, or even a simple blessing of someone in need, can happen when we are in the right place at the right time, regardless of whether it is in the "real world" or in our virtual communities.
