Talking About Jesus Without Going To Jail

In some places talking about Jesus can get you thrown into jail, especially if it looks like you want someone to start believing. So how do you go about responding to people who ask you why you believe if you live in an area where that conversation could put you in jeopardy?
One way is to […]

Soularium, A Dialogue in Pictures

One of the most unique and interesting things I’ve seen Campus Crusade produce lately has been Soularium. It’s a great way to connect with another person in a whole new way, and it has an integral web component.
An interviewer takes a group of 50 photos and asks the interviewee which represents their life, which reflects […]

What’s Next?

EveryStudent.com was built primarily to answer students’ questions about who God is and what it might be like to know Him. God began using the site to draw large numbers of people to faith so Marilyn Adamson, the site’s director, built another site, startingwithGod.com.
This site has all of what a new believer needs to […]

Facebook’s Stumble; spiritual sabotage or unique opportunity?

There has been discussion about the value of MySpace or Facebook and whether Christians should avoid it, dive in, let their kids use it, etc.
Regardless of whether MySpace and Facebook are good for Christians to participate in, it is most important to note that the leaders we (at Campus Crusade for Christ) want to reach […]

Traffic is generated by participating in the community; not daily posting
Traffic is irrelevant to your blog’s success anyway
RSS fatigue is already […]

It sure begs the question

Yahoo! Answers came to my attention yesterday and immediately sprung ideas to mind for evangelism. To start I asked a question about how to insulate a wall in my house. Within 25 minutes I had 8 answers, and they were helpful!
This is a fascinating new social search site. You can ask a question as though […]

Making Internet Ministry Decisions

The other day the team of EveryStudent.com faced a decision; use our tool for making new sites automatically for ALL our new language sites, allowing our staff members to easily produce a locally “skinned” EveryStudent.com site, or use a custom-translated site as we have been doing all along.
We answered the question by asking, “What is […]

Search Goes Mobile

An article on ClickZ notes the coming trend in search - toward mobile phones.
The author quotes other sources quite a bit. Here are some of his excerpts:
“…twice as many cell phones are in use than PCs worldwide. One research organization predicts cell phone use will reach 3.3 billion by 2010, more than a 50 […]

Offline Conversion

In an effort to quickly delete some articles in my email box which I felt didn’t relate, I glanced at an article which connected surprisingly well with web evangelism.
If you are willing to use online consumer behavior as an indicator of what online spiritual seekers might do, then a study sponsored by iProspect.com (done by […]
