Internet Evangelism Day Prepares to Facilitate Faith-Sharing Online

Following the success of last year’s first ‘web awareness’ day for the Church, the second annual Internet Evangelism Day is being planned for 7 May, 2006.

Many Christian leaders are recommending that churches use this opportunity to enhance their own ministries. “I warmly commend this initiative to you,” says John Smith of the UK Evangelical Alliance.

Dr. Sterling Huston, Chair of the Coalition and director of special ministries for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, emphasises that the Internet "offers churches, Christian organisations and individuals an amazing and rapidly expanding opportunity to share the good news of the gospel with a world in need."
