Online Evangelism A guide to Web Outreach You can reach the world Introduction "An incredible new technology enables the transmission of text on a worldwide basis. It rapidly reduces production and distribution costs and for the first time allows large numbers of people to access text and pictures in their own homes." You've guessed it. The invention of 'movable type' by Gutenberg - the printing press. It transformed education, learning, evangelism and communication. It laid the foundations for the Renaissance, the arts, sciences, and the world as we know it today. The digital revolution is bringing about a similar huge change in evangelism, Christian discipleship and community, in ways which are only just beginning. "Using a computer for online religious activity... could become the dominant form of religion and religious experience in the next century." Professor B Brasher, author: Give me that Online Religion (Jossey-Bass) Although the Internet first grew in USA and northern Europe, it is now no longer a toy for the rich West. Users in China are expected to reach 100 million in 2003. Only one country in the world bans Internet usage - N. Korea. * Figures for worldwide Internet usage by language * Overall user figures * Countries where Internet access is difficult There are Christian 'future-watchers' who can help us to see the trends in society, culture, and the Internet revolution: Teaching IT and Web skills is therefore becoming an effective way of sharing the Gospel. * Eministry - newsletter from Andrew Careaga * Future Church - Tom Hohstadt's occasional newsletter on the way the church is changing * Global Change - views of the world from Dr Patrick Dixon * Research links - detailed analyses of the effect of the Internet on the church and evangelism, plus Web Evangelism conference reports. The needs of the world remain as great as ever: see the Unfinished Task counters clicking up. The Internet is a powerful and God-given medium to help us fulfil the Great Commission. Even its name reflects the nature of the fishing net which Jesus spoke of in Matthew 13:47 and elsewhere." Now the irritating door-bell ringers don't have to waste show leather. They can just pollute you inbox instead. Maybe the spam filter is a God-given medium, too. Unfinished Task? Hhhhhmmmmm.
