It has always been our suggestion that churches build a digital evangelism focus into their events or service sheets on or near that day. In previous years, although this could be an eye-opening challenge, actual involvement in digital evangelism or ministry was not something that many church members were likely to take up. The options were somewhat limited, time-consuming, and needed technical or writing gifts. No longer! Social networking enables any online Christian to naturally share resources that explain some aspect of the good news http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/6943 2012-02-20T10:16:26-05:00 One of the most significant digital evangelism initiatives of 2011 was the release of YesHEIs.com. The team recently released this Our Chance video to highlight social media opportunities that YesHEIs gives. You can easily download this video to show in church meetings or seminars. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/6977 2012-02-13T08:11:47-05:00 Pinterest is a name getting increasing recognition across the Web.

Christmas, even in our post-christendom world, is such a thin space. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/3880 2011-04-07T15:47:18-05:00 Music embeds truth in our minds in a particular way, that’s why it is so powerful. We have a range of links to completely free MP3 downloads and sheet music, for mission challenge to Jesus followers. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/3973 2011-03-23T16:02:54-05:00 Christian media producer CVC is exploiting the exponential growth of social media and online video.

Heim and Birdsong 'get' social media. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/3159 2011-03-01T15:59:45-05:00 Here's Shane Hipps, author of Flickering Pixels, sharing his insights in a class at Biola University. This highly-recommended book explains how digital media have transformed the way we communicate the good news. http://internetevangelismday.com/onlyone.php 2010-08-14T07:18:01-05:00 This short article by Greg Laurie, used by kind permission, reminds us that we are unique, and may touch lives in ways we cannot imagine. I have heard it said, “I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. What I can do, I ought to do.
