The explosion in popularity of social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have led to tons of new, creative ways for Christians to build relationships and share their faith with people online.
Each of the next 20 weekdays, some fantastic guest bloggers and I are going to share and discuss one creative Internet evangelism idea each day. That’s 20 ideas from 12 bloggers in 20 days.
All of this leads up Internet Evangelism Day, April 25, 2010
The purpose of this group blogging project as well as Internet Evangelism Day is to raise awareness about the opportunities each of us has to use some facet of the Internet to share the good news of Jesus Christ with others.
If that gets you excited, here are 5 ways you can get involved.
But before I got to those 5 things. I want to give a big shout out (and some link love) to the following bloggers who will be contributing ideas.
- Tony Whittaker
- Dan King
- Wendy Spoon
- Brett Borders
- Chris walker
- Lois Ridley
- Rob Ross
- Steve Fogg

Five Ways You Can Participate
- Follow @OurChurchDotCom on Twitter and retweet the link for each idea.
- Share some (or all) of the ideas with your Facebook friends.
- Discuss the ideas in the comments. Share any related ideas.
- If you’re a pastor, communications director, evangelism coordinator, or small group leader, engage your congregation in a discussion about these ideas.
- Don’t just talk about these ideas. Do them! Post comments telling us about what happened, the people you connected with, and what you learned from the experience.
So, what do you say? Are you in? How do you plan to participate?

Dear friends in Christ,
If you have a no-Christian friends or have a desire to share Christ with non-Christians please send them the following link or better yet get a copy of this video and give it to a non-Christian who like watching Indian/Pakistani films: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spKLVYGecnM&ai...
Dear friends in Christ,
I am a post-graduate student from Kerala, India. I am on search of Internet Evangelism topics for a training of 30 youths for Christ, as part of the Jesus Youth Movement. Please do keep me in your prayers and help me in your ways. Please…
Jesus is the vicarious man, He represents humanity in the presence of the Father and have included us in the triune life of the Father, Son and Spirit. When He was crucified and resurrected, humanity was crucified and resurrected with Him. As it states in Colossians 3:3, our lives are now hidden with Him in God. What an amazing truth!

I already do some of the ideas that are posted and am going to try the others. Thanks for a great article!!!!
I'm finally getting around to having a look at this series. I have a lot on my plate at the moment, but just looking through the list, #1 grabbed me right away as a GREAT idea. And yet it seems so obvious I wonder why I hadn't already thought of it. Looks to be a great series, and I've already forwarded this link to some of our staff. I look forward to reading it. Thank you!
Stop by today, just wanted to say hello and thank you.
Chris, that's what I first thought when I heard Shelly talk about the Idea #1. Thanks for sharing this with your staff.
Hi Edwin, thanks for stopping by.
I'm not even half way thru these articles, and every single one is spot on.
Excellent job guys!
