Choose categories that fit you – and see how we can help.
And please take time to explore the site, using the menu on the left.
Church leader
We demonstrate how to build or modify a
church website, and check it with our
self-assessment tool so that it can reach out into the community.
And we suggest you may wish to consider a web evangelism awareness day at your church. We offer
downloads
that can create a presentation for your church members.
This can reveal to them the potential of the Web for outreach, and the many fulfilling opportunities for
them to use their gifts in this area.
Some churches may wish to run training in web evangelism for members, using our resource links.
Churches can also recognize and support church members who are already involved in spare-time web ministry at home.
Computer user
There are numerous ways that you can share your faith online. And many require no technical knowledge at all! For instance,
it is easy to create a
blog or
mentor people by email. You can mention good
outreach sites to friends by email.
Take time to explore this site and subscribe to the newsletter to learn more. You can also download our free
evangelistic screensaver.
Bible college
Our
ready-made resources – downloadable Powerpoint, video clips and print handouts
form a ready-made basis for a college seminar or module on the vital topic of web evangelism. We also offer
more training resources, and
every page of the
Web Evangelism Guide
includes study questions link appropriate for students.
Virtually no training
institutions yet offer courses in this area – see our Open Letter to college principals, suggesting the possibility of web evangelism modules. It is important that future church leaders should understand the new
world of digital media, and how churches and individual members can integrate the web into their evangelism and
discipleship mandate. And also that those training for cross-cultural overseas ministry should discover the Web’s
potential on the mission field.
Denominational HQ
Church websites are more common than any other type of Christian site. Yet the vast majority of
them are, frankly, not achieving their potential to reach outsiders in the community. This is
because they are so often written primarily for the church members, using churchy language
and concepts. We demonstrate
how to develop a church website that can actually touch outsiders
and draw them in.
We also invite denominations to endorse IE Day,
promote our resources to your member churches, and also suggest to them that they use our downloads to create a
web awareness spot in a church service or other meeting.
You can also integrate our church-site tool
page into your own website using some easy-to-copy code, as a resource for your member churches.
We also offer a range of articles which can be used in
your print magazine, or online.
Web ministry
We can provide you with ready-made web-page content to add value to your site, on many aspects of web ministry and
outreach. For instance,
our tips about building church websites, and
using blogs for evangelism, can
be easily inserted into your own site.
Alternatively, you can partner with us by appropriate links to this site, thereby providing a path to equip your site
visitors and ministry supporters in fulfilling ways for them to minister online. And you can ask your supporters to
focus on your ministry within their own web awareness day program.
Film/video maker
There is a huge opportunity to
make video shorts with an embedded message, and post them
on secular networking sites such as YouTube.
Mission agency
Mission agencies have been quick to use the Web to reach their Christian supporters. But very few are yet using the
Internet for their main purpose of existence – cross-cultural evangelism and discipleship:
possible reasons. We demonstrate how a local
mission team can
integrate a web presence with face-to-face ministry.
The Web can also empower
ex-missionaries.
We also highlight the evangelistic potential of teaching
computer use.
And our mission-challenge
music,
drama scripts
and
video clips can be used in mission advocacy meetings.
Full-time ministry opportunities
There are many opportunities to work full-time in web evangelism ministry. See our
vacancies page. We can also give you
email advice in this area.
Print magazine editor
We offer a
range of articles about online evangelism which are free to use (along with royalty-free photos) in any
print magazine. We can also write articles on specific web evangelism topics if needed – please
email.
Please also use our news releases where appropriate, and any short stories from
our newsletters.
Radio/TV program editor
We offer several
ready-made MP3s of different lengths, and we can connect you with individual web evangelists for
interview in a wide range of countries.
Our news releases, articles, and news stories
are also available to modify for on-air use.
Web safety for you and your family
The Web, as a medium, is neutral, just like books or the telephone. But in a fallen world, it can be put to wrong uses.
Learn how to protect yourself and your family
here.
Limited face-to-face contact
If you have few opportunities for face-to-face ministry, through geographical isolation, illness, mobility impairment,
or family responsibilities, the Web can liberate you into many areas of ministry. Take time to read this site and learn
what God may have for you. There are many ways to touch people around the world – and you
do NOT need to be technical!
Newsletter/blog editor
News stories from our newsletters:
can be freely reproduced in email or print newsletters and blogs, or in radio programs. Check also the
blog stories here.
Asking questions about faith?
If you face major life issues, or have questions about the Christian faith, we can suggest web resources that may help.
Look at sites such as
Webmaster/designer
- We explain strategies that can be used to create evangelistic websites, and how to design a church website
that can reach into the community
- We offer ready-made content for webmasters to insert into websites
which target Christians
- The email
Web Evangelism Bulletin
features many webmaster tips and ideas
- Our Partner scheme will enhance
your own site’s ‘search engine ranking’.
Returned/retired missionary
The Internet is a unique medium which equips ex-missionaries to maintain contact with their country of service in several ways:
- receive up-to-date news about developments in that country
- write/contribute to website content in that language: sparetime vacancies
- use chat rooms, blogs and bulletin boards to share the gospel appropriately
- mentor non-Christians and disciple Christians by email: sparetime vacancies
- facilitate other ministry to country of service: example with literature
Outreach ministry
We demonstrate how a face-to-face outreach ministry can be enhanced by an
integrated website.
Our free downloads also enable you to create a seminar for your staff, to demonstrate
the nature and potential of the web.
Blog enthusiast
Few Christian blogs are accessible or of much interest to most non-Christians. We explain principles for
building blogs that can reach not-yet Christians.
If you have a blog written for Christians, you can use any stories or news items from
our newsletters, and also blog about any item that arises in these
evangelism-related blogs.
Conference organizer
Our downloadable
PowerPoint and other resources can be used to build a web evangelism presentation within a Christian
conference. We may also be able to
arrange conference speakers on this topic too in a range of different countries.
We also
list conferences about web evangelism and related topics.
Writer
Our pages demonstrate how to
use writing gifts within an online context, and we can also
link you with ministries who
need writers.
Free music
MP3 songs, backing tracks, lyrics and sheet music – a range of songs which encourage Christians in the need
for outreach:
here.
Evangelist
Many of our pages also offer communication insights that apply to other forms of evangelism: for instance the
Gray Matrix.
Our books page reviews some of the very best books available
about effective evangelism and communication.
