May 7, 2006 is this year’s Internet Evangelism Day. This annual event was initiated and is sponsored by the Internet Evangelism Coalition, an umbrella group of major organizations involved in web ministry. Internet Evangelism Day is a worldwide annual focus day designed to help Christians discover the potential of the internet for reaching out to an unbelieving world.
The Internet Evangelism Day website is a vast resource for 1) people who are just curious about internet evangelism; 2) for those looking for ways to expand their ministry through this medium; and, 3) for established internet evangelists. I highly recommend that you visit the site and carefully review the resources which are available to you.
Although it is obviously too late for a church to hold a special service today, there is no reason why a church cannot hold a service dedicated to internet evangelism on other days of the year. I would highly encourage pastors who read this blog to seriously consider what their local church can do to emphasize the opportunity to use the internet for outreach.
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.
