In April and May, I will have the privilege of teaching a 5-week internet evangelism seminar in Santa Cruz County, California. I have a tentative outline prepared, and I thought it might be a good idea to post the outline and see if the readers of this website have any suggestions about content to cover (general concepts, links, statistics, etc.). I’m not certain as to exactly what I’m looking for, so feel free to make any suggestions which might occur to you.
Here’s the outline for the first session:
I. Session 1: Introduction To Internet Evangelism
A. Introduction of Facilitator
B. Introduction of Participants
C. The Historic Opportunity
1. The First-Century Opportunity
2. Today’s Opportunity
3. The Modern-Day “Agora”
4. Technological Innovations Throughout History – The Church Has Always Embraced Technology For Evangelistic Purposes
D. Salvation Story #1: Kristi Tuck
E. Evangelism Opportunity #1: Simple First Steps
1. Email signature
2. Online profiles
3. Business Cards
4. Tell others about good evangelistic websites
5. Evangelistic screensaver
F. Homework (choose one or more)
1. Write an email signature
2. Prepare an online profile
3. Find good evangelistic websites
4. Design a business card
The outlines for the second through fifth sessions will follow on subsequent days.
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.
