/24-7PressRelease/ - DERBYSHIRE, UK, April 20, 2006 - Churches around the country are holding a web awareness Sunday on 7 May. This annual Internet Evangelism Day enables Christians to learn more about the potential of the Web to effectively share the biblical theme of Good News.
As the Internet has made the world smaller, many believers see the Web as a useful tool to spread their faith, yet are unsure how to do it.
The InternetEvangelismDay.com website provides downloads which churches are using to create a focus spot during their meetings on 7 May (or on any other suitable date). This slot will vary in length, from 1 minute upwards, to suit the church's program. They can choose from a range of downloadable handouts, video clips, PowerPoint presentation, and even drama scripts and music.
The site also explains how to build effective church web-pages, use 'blogs' and other types of site for outreach, and it showcases good examples.
Many Christian leaders are recommending that churches use this opportunity to enhance their own ministries. "I encourage all leaders to take advantage of this initiative and explore their options for using the Web," says Pastor Ted Haggard of the US National Association of Evangelicals.
One surprising aspect that the IE Day site emphasizes: web outreach is for anyone, not just the technically gifted. "There are many ways to share your faith online, without any technical background at all," claims IE Day co-ordinator Tony Whittaker.
