Mob Evangelism

This morning I read two articles which make profound observations about today’s world that might indicate an effective direction for Internet evangelism.
Rather than attempting to guide someone’s web experience where you want it to go, these articles would imply it is wiser to publish what you are about (in my case for this purpose, that […]

Zagreb

I just got back from Zagreb; my first time there. It was great meeting with Hrvoje, Bjan, and Brooke and finding out how they use our Croatian evangelistic website to bring students to Jesus and get them involved in their campus group.

Instant Website - Just Add Tom

The other day Tom and I were sitting in a meeting where one of our regional leaders was explaining the need to communicate better with our staff members that are scattered around Eastern Europe.

In the 10 weeks when […]

Recently the Ministry Director at www.znateho.cz told me about one life that was changed through their work. (”Znate Ho?” means “Know Him?” in Czech.) I thought you might enjoy hearing it.

His name is Milan, he was 17, and he was a Communist. One day surfing the Internet from the Czech Republic he came across our […]

Rob likes to say, “Design for your target audience and the search engines will follow,” but I would add that search engines are your target audience, too, since they bring much of your […]

Technology is too important to ministry to be left to Techies

Techworld.com - One in ten IT departments dead by 2011
Technology may end up being too important to be left to techies, Gartner said, and business executives may end up managing it as part of their regular roles.
Finally someone put into writing what I have felt for several years now. As Tom Seely and I talk […]

79 indicated decisions on Croatian site

Over the last two years our Croatian ministry’s site has been leading people to Jesus quite effectively. Last month 79 people indicated decisions to trust Christ while on the site, and for the last 12 months, the average has been 43!
The absence of “buzz” about this around the Campus Crusade area office in Budapest […]
