Sounds really interesting...especially for us web users!
In New Testament times, the Roman Road system was strategic in Gods plan. It enabled the spread of the Gospel throughout the then-known world. In the same way, the Internet today is a worldwide network which can facilitate effective Gospel communication.
What is its purpose?
We wish to communicate the outreach potential of the Web among the worldwide church. We therefore propose a worldwide focus day for Christians to discover the potential of this new medium.
We ask churches, Bible Colleges and other Christian organizations to consider including within their schedules this Internet Evangelism focus day on (or near) Sunday 24 April 2005.
How can our group take part?
This site offers downloadable resources with suggestions and background material, to help your church or group create an effective IE Day focus. Our materials enable you to create a mix and match, do-it-yourself program. It can be 5 minutes or 50; and included within a church service, after-church meeting, mid-week home-group, Bible College seminar, or any other appropriate meeting for Christians. Follow the planning link in the left-hand menu bar to view and download these resources, as well as a 17-slide PowerPoint presentation to explain the concept to your leadership or decision-making team.
We urge denomination headquarters teams to consider endorsing and promoting IE Day to all their local churches.
