The Necessity of Internet Evangelism in Today's Churches
"Those who have not seen will see, and those who have not heard will understand." Isaiah 52:15
There are millions of people who have not yet given their lives to Christ. With today's technology it should be much easier to spread the Gospel to those who do not yet know Christ and haven't even heard the Gospel yet. The Internet is rapidly developing and becoming more popular in today's culture. It is surely a powerful method to allow those who have not heard before to now understand the Truth found in Jesus Christ.
Each day there are millions of people who seek for help online. These millions include people experiencing loneliness, suicidal thoughts, depression, addiction, abuse, and hopelessness. These souls have this emptiness that only Jesus could fill and are searching the internet to find the solution. The church must meet these needs of these millions.
As the internet increasingly dominates the lifestyle of today's generation, it is imperative that churches use internet evangelism as one of their methods. Ministers must know the importance of setting up means of outreach through the internet within their own ministry if they want to reach the people around them.
Starting internet evangelism can be very easy. Below are simple ways that a ministry or church can improve this aspect of their outreach.
The minister can create websites through popular social media such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. A common method is also blogging. Churches and ministries can include videos, devotionals, and testimonies on the blogs. On the websites, the church can include various contents such as videos illustrating the Gospel of Christ or video testimonies from well-known websites.
Once a minister sets a posting standard it's important to keep it regular. This will allow for the site to build a good reputation and gain people's trust. If visitors like the contents then they will look forward to checking the website again for renewed contents.
Let's keep improving our methods of evangelism. Satan wants to quickly work to take people farther from the Lord. As believers, let's move much more urgently and meet the needs of the souls around us.
