Internet Evangelism: Googling the Gospel
Every day hundreds of people find Jesus on the internet through evangelistic websites. The Web is the only medium which can target any affinity group of people, on the basis of ethnicity, geographic location, culture, hobby, felt need or interest, anywhere in the world. For people in search of God the Web often is one element in a chain of information and relationships. Campus Crusade for Christ, a ministry that works a lot with evangelistic websites, noted that a key element in each person's spiritual journey was email relationships. The web-pages themselves were only a starting point. Effective web ministries often need email mentors.
To help Christians discover the potential of the Web and to mobilize the digital outreach potential of the worldwide church, The Internet Evangelism Coalition (IEC) calls for an Internet Evangelism Day on May 7, 2006, and set up a special website with testimonies and resources. The IEC is an umbrella group of Christian organizations who share a vision for online outreach. ( Source: http://ied.gospelcom.net)
