Preaching to the Choir

You’ve probably heard the phrase “preaching to the choir” before. If not, it means you’re sending your message to a group of people that already know it. Some say that “99% [of Christian websites] have been written with only a Christian reader in mind.” I guess you can count this website as […]

Finding Video Online

Anyone have any experience in posting videos online and submitting them to Google or Yahoo?

Future of Internet Evangelism

I received an email today from a good friend asking the question:

Seth Godin made a great analogy about Things That Change. He says:
In most organizations, the frequency […]

Email Mentoring

How do you know if your web ministry is effective? Well, one measure is that you’re following up with people effectively. One that I’ve recently gotten involved with is the one that TruthMedia is using. I’m a bit partial to them since I’ve spent good time with them!
I wanted to share some from an […]

There they can read stories from peers about their changed life, stories about God, and a Gospel presentation. Already […]
