Internet Evangelism Day
"He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.'" Mark 16:15 (NIV)
Internet Evangelism Day (IED), scheduled for April 24, 2005, is designed to help churches, ministries and individuals discover the potential of the Internet for sharing the Gospel. The Internet Evangelism Coalition (IEC) is endorsing the day and many IEC members are helping facilitate the development of IED resources. Dr. Sterling Huston, IEC Chair and Director of Special Ministries for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, believes the Internet "offers churches, Christian organizations and individuals an amazing and rapidly expanding opportunity to share the 'Good News' with a world in need." He added that it's his hope that "Internet Evangelism Day will inspire more Christians to utilize the Internet to extend and enlarge their witness for Christ."
With your interest in the net and connections with corps and other churches, consider this "open-air" or "open-net" opportunity.

The "open net" idea is rather scary for me -- reminds me of the circus. It's a long fall. But the idea of evangelism for some of us is scary as well. I certainly agree that the internet is a fantastic tool for evangelism. It certainly traps the scary into the keyboard and flat panel (if you have one). So for those of us who find ourselves rather timid in the scene of evangelism, we should be "on top of" the whole idea of internet evangelism. what a blog!
Thanks for your comments. I guess sometimes our evangelism resembles a "three ring" idea. As I read your note I'm reminded that the open-net sounds like fishermen of mankind.
