III. Session 3: Preparing For Effective Internet Evangelism
A. Introduction of New Participants
B. Salvation Story #3: Patricia
C. Discussion of last week’s homework: successes, challenges, questions, comments

1. Personal relationship with Jesus
2. Prayer and dependence on God
3. Compassion
4. A written testimony
5. Become familiar with an online Bible (preferably in a modern translation)
6. Some background in apologetics is helpful, but not absolutely necessary (knowing how to respond to objections can be important)
7. Know the plan of salvation
E. Evangelism Opportunity #3: Advanced Steps
1. Develop a bridge website
F. Homework
1. Think about your passions. What would be a good bridge website topic for you?
I believe that the internet provides today's church with a historic opportunity .... to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love in ways which could only have been imagined in times past. The objective of this website is to explore the various ways in which today's technology can be used to spread the gospel around the world.
