April 29th is Internet Evangelism Day – a day to focus on the myriad of ways you can share your faith online. Whether you’re a Facebook fiend, a prolific blogger or just love to pin things on Pinterest, you can use the skills you already have, in the places you already frequent, to share the Gospel.
In addition to the day of focus, the Internet Evangelism Day website is also a year-round online resource guide to help Christians understand these varied opportunities. Topics covered include: how to build a church website that is ‘outsider friendly’, using Facebook and Twitter in evangelism, and the growing options for using your mobile phone.
For many of these opportunities, you need no technical knowledge at all. And there are many opportunities to volunteer to be an email mentor to inquirers who have visited outreach sites operated by several online ministries.
A changed world
The digital world has changed remarkably in the last year or two. Although a part of Internet Evangelism Day’s emphasis has always been to mobilize individual Christians into digital evangelism, until recently the options we could suggest were quite limited. Writers might be drawn to blogging, or create a website if they felt technically competent. Those good at thinking on their feet could share in chat rooms and bulletin boards. But most of these suggestions were time-intensive and intentional initiatives only suitable for a small minority.
What has changed? The emergence of the ‘three-fold cord’ of social networking allied to video shorts and mobile phones. At last it has become remarkably easy for any Jesus-follower to build relationships and discuss truth appropriately, especially within social networking platforms. Our digital communication culture has become highly visual and dialogue-based, and the sharing of conversation-starting video shorts on Facebook and Twitter is as easy as a mouse-click, though only if we know where to find them. http://ieday.net/video
Phone apps
There are now a few smartphone apps that are genuinely aimed at outsiders, that can be shared one-to-one, or in a small discussion group. UK team Damaris has just released a strategic iPhone app called Talking About Jesus (Android version coming soon). http://ieday.net/blog/archives/7187
A second new evangelism-related web app is called God’s GPS. Its purpose is to equip Christians to share faith appropriately and conversationally. It is not intended for non-yet-followers to download or look at: http://ieday.net/blog/archives/7677

Pinterest.com allows anyone to create a very visual set of curated recommendations, within their own chosen areas of interest, with no tech knowledge needed. http://ieday.net/blog/archives/6977

Several evangelism/communication ebooks will be available for free download on IE Day, plus there is a chance to win others. See http://ieday.net/eb for a full list and complete details.

It’s great to see faith being shared on the internet!
My name is Maurice Wisdom Bishop and I am 28 years old currently serving in the U.S. Army. This is my story.
I deployed in Iraq for 13 months. While I was there a soldier in my unit shot himself with an M-16 and the 5.56mm round hit him in the quadrum of his heart and he died. I felt so much guilt because I was one of the soldiers that made fun of him and I blamed myself. I was very effected and hid my emotions inside.
After my 13 month deployment my ex baby mama called me unexpectedly after 6 months of not calling me on Skype nor emailing me and told me my 1year old son died. She never even told me about the funeral. I became angry and my heart grew cold. I had nightmares from my deployment and my dead son and couldn’t sleep so I started smoking a lot, drinking a lot of beer, brown liquor and wine just to go to sleep. That night I became an alcoholic. I was a smoker at age 12. I became reckless and violent. Emotionally I couldn’t function so the relationships I was in always failed. I was married and ended up in a bad divorce. I didn’t communicate with my family because I felt like they couldn’t help me and I didn’t get along with them. I felt alone and was suicidal many times. I stabbed myself in my leg, tried cutting my chest, and my arm. I even mixed a few percocets in my glassed filled Hennessy. I even became homeless and had to survive in the streets. Because I had a bad reputation of mistreating women, a woman who I use to sleep with sent 3 of her cousins that just came out of jail (attempted murder)to kill me. I was chased and even shot at but I’ve managed to survive.
I’ve moved out of Philly to Lindenwold, New Jersey trying to start my life over but trouble always found me. I remember telling God to change my life and making me the man he wants me to be. Nothing miraculous happen except I kept reading and studying the bible and I was going to church. I’ve stop smoking, drinking, fighting, mistreating women, and hating people and never knew it. Im in great relationship with my parents and family. With that being said, my life did a 360 change. God change my life completely. I have a home, a career, I sleep well and I’m free from alcohlism and smoking. I even received a 2nd chance in life and married again to my beautiful wife Jakerra and my step son Amari. I’m a published author of Blood on Paper & Pain Living In My Pen/Poet and I use my story/poetry to change lives.
If anybody doesn’t know Jesus, please get to know him for yourself.
