ATLANTA -- When Pastor Shaun King needed help reaching his goal of buying toys for 500 needy children this holiday season, he took his crusade to cyberspace.

King solicited donors through social networking sites such as MySpace, Twitter and Facebook, on various blogs and through a Web
site. The 29-year-old -- who calls himself "the Facebook Pastor" --
netted $20,000 from the fundraiser, which is the latest in his efforts to make the ecclesiastic more electronic.

He has used the Internet to grow his fledgling ministry at The Courageous Church, which plans to officially open its doors next
month in midtown Atlanta.
