eMinistryNotes.com reader Dave wrote me this week about their church website, Gateway Church Leeds. He writes:
Since putting testimonies at the centre of our site and deliberately using it as an evangelistic tool (many church members now have a link in their email signature, a hugely effective tool), we’ve had a number of completely unchurched visitors who came because they found our site. One guy found it completely by accident when searching for “Gateway Software”, he said that he felt someone was communicating with him and he had to come and see what was going on!
I’m a big fan of this concept. That’s why I like sites like StorySpot.com because not everyone has a place to put their story online (though one could do so with a free blog including spanning their story over time).
Have you tried testimony integration into your ministry websites? How has it worked out for you?

I really like this example. It shows what a Church can achieve with the web. There are so many positive testimonies of how Jesus has worked in peoples lives a visitor would be hard pressed to ignore. They are short too which works much better than essay type testimonies which people don’t have time to read when online.
