White Papers
The team members of Strategic Digital Outreach have written various white papers which each address a particular aspect of internet strategy for churches and ministries. Our hope is that these articles will help you as you consider how to address issues surrounding the use of the internet in your outreach. Acrobat Reader is required to view these documents.

Effective Church Websites For Emerging Generations This white paper is designed to provide local churches with a thought-provoking resource to help them make decisions regarding internet strategy in their local area. A Strategy For Local Internet Outreach This white paper outlines a unique strategy for using the internet to support local churches and ministries in their outreach efforts to reach their community. The strategy is unique in that it naturally builds the local church rather than resulting in conversions which occur outside the church. The Internet: Friend Or Foe For Christians? This white paper is designed to provide Christians with a resource to help them make appropriate choices in the midst of the battle against online pornography.

Downloads
We are happy to provide you with the following downloadable resources. Our hope and prayer is that these resources prove to be helpful for you in your outreach ministry.

Quotations Screen Saver The Quotations Screen Saver combines vivid nature photographs with quotations from famous Christian personalities. It was specifically developed as a tool to help Christians share their faith with co-workers, friends, and family members. The quotations which the screen saver displays were especially chosen to provoke questions about the Lord in the minds and hearts of those who view the screen saver. It is a great tool which can help your church members or constituents share their faith. They can install this screen saver on their computers at work and home, and their colleagues and family will be challenged to consider eternal truths. This screen saver is a great “door-opener” and this personal version is completely free! The screen saver is compatible with Windows 95, 98, NT, Me, 2000, and XP. The screen saver is also available in a Hungarian version. If you are interested in helping us translate the Quotations screen saver into other languages, please contact us. Pray For The Jula Of Mali Screen Saver The Pray for the Jula of Mali Screen Saver combines vivid photographs with beautiful music and prayer points for this people group which numbers approximately 60,000 people in Mali alone (with other Jula living in Cote d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Guinea-Bissau). It is designed to serve as a reminder of the needs of this people whose evangelical Christian population is almost non-existent. InterServe Screen Saver The InterServe Screen Saver was used by InterServe, an international and interdenominational fellowship of Christians committed to each other in partnership and for service to the peoples of South and Central Asia and the Middle East, to promote its programs and activities to the attendees of the 2000 Urbana Convention.
