Organization Teaches Web Evangelists How To Minister Online
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (ANS) -- The Internet is proving to be a great tool for Christian evangelists.
For Christians from ministries as large as Campus Crusade for Christ to small local churches, as well as individuals working solo, those who begin sharing the gospel online are finding it rewarding and economical.
However, good training to help share the gospel more effectively in cyberspace is always helpful, and one group has stepped up to the plate to do just that.
According to an organizational news release, Cybermissions.Org is a website devoted to training people in Internet evangelism and Cybermissions (the cross-cultural aspect of online ministry).
Cybermissions.Org has three six-week courses which help Great Commission-minded Christians use the Internet to reach the world for Jesus.
Cybermissions 101 deals with theory, Cybermissions 102 deals with practical aspects of Internet evangelism, and Cybermissions 103 looks at how to set up an Internet cafe or computer center as a missions base.
The course lecturer is John Edmiston, an Australian missionary who has been familiar with the Internet since 1991. He is also a lecturer at the California-based Fuller Theological Seminary.
The next Cybermissions 101 course begins on Mon. July 17. Those interested can enroll online at www.cybermissions.org/training.
The Internet, the Cybermissions web site points out, may also be used for theological training, support of missionaries and counseling as well as pastor training and leadership development.
