Chinese term or phrase: 網絡與手機新時代的福音工作

I'm sorry but these are all the contents I have. These two lines are the logo on a credit card and the target audience are Christians in China. The Chinese text is vague.
My translation is: "The Internet and mobile phones Gospel work for the new age."
Please provide suggestions. Thanks.

14 mins confidence:

Gospel work during the new era of internet and mobile phones.

Explanation:
As the target audience are Christians and their preaching work in general, I don't think the article 'the' is necessary for 福音工作. Also, personally, I prefer 'new era' to 'new age'.

My attempt:
Gospel work during the new era of internet and mobile phones.

Example sentence(s):

Amazon.com: Digital Money: The New Era of Internet Commerce (9780471141785): Daniel C. Lynch, Leslie Lundquist: Books.
Eugene Peterson on What Gospel Work Is and Isn't

Notes to answerer

Asker: Hi Dr. Chen, what I find confusing is the way the two lines are separated: First line: 網絡與手機 and second line: 新時代的福音工作. It would make much more sense the way you interpreted the two lines but do they convey another meaning, if any, the way the two lines are written like this?
