CHURCHES TO HOLD WEB FOCUS DAY APRIL 27
“How can we use this new-fangled Internet thing to share the gospel?” Christians are asking. A worldwide ‘web evangelism focus day’ is helping to provide answers. Sunday, April 27, has been designated as Internet Evangelism Day. Churches can download free materials from the Internet Evangelism Day website. These varied materials make it easy for churches to create a short presentation about online outreach on or near that Sunday. They can choose from a PowerPoint, video clip testimonies, drama scripts, music and handouts to create their own customized program lasting from one minute to 50.
Church leaders who have already used these materials are excited. “This is a huge help for small churches such as ours,” writes a church leader from California.
The Internet Evangelism Day team emphasizes that web evangelism is for anyone, not just the technically gifted. “There are many ways to share your faith online, without any technical background at all,” says IE Day Coordinator Tony Whittaker.
Christian leaders are also enthusiastic: “I am glad to commend Internet Evangelism Day,” says Dr. John Stott.
Churches still have time to plan a focus spot on or near 27 April, or at any more suitable date during the year. More information is available at: http://ied.gospelcom.net/index.php
