Strategic Digital Outreach

Welcome!

Thank you for visiting the Strategic Digital Outreach website! My name is Frank Johnson. I have been an internet strategist for approximately five years, heavily involved with internet marketing techniques in the business world. The more I learn about internet marketing, the more I find myself thinking, "These techniques should be used to spread the gospel."
This website is meant to serve as an exploration of that line of thinking. As you read, please feel free to comment - my hope is that we will all benefit from each other's wisdom.

Seeking Your Opinions On Instant Messaging

I’ve been thinking some lately about the fact that this website does not receive a great deal of comments (but thanks to those who do comment!) and about why that may be. I have an inkling of why that may be so.

As I’ve thought about the types of posts I write on this site, it occurs to me that I often begin by stating my opinion (and perhaps too stridently) and then sometimes inviting comments on my opinion. Instead of asking for your opinion from the outset. That’s not necessarily always wrong (I do have lots to say, and I do have some fairly strong opinions!), but I guess I want to find a bit more balance. So here’s a question for the readers of this site:

How do you think instant messaging can be used to spread the gospel? What are the unique opportunities? What are the unique challenges? Any tips from those who have used instant messaging for this purpose?

It’s an area I want to explore in my own life and ministry, and so I’m quite interested to hear what others might say.

Thanks and let the conversation begin!
