A Worldwide Internet Evangelism Day (IED) has been arranged for 24th April 2005. The event, arranged by an evangelistic group of ministries, churches and individuals, was proposed with the belief that the day will greatly increase awareness of what is happening online. It is hope that the potential of using the internet to spread the gospel can be fulfilled more efficiently by this day.
The day is being endorsed by the Internet Evangelism Coalition, and its members have expressed their desires to help facilitate the development of IED resources.
Dr Sterling Huston, who is the Chair of the IEC and also Director of Special Ministries for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, told how Internet Evangelism Day could potentially “inspire many more Christians to utilise this dynamic media to extend and enlarge their witness for Christ.”
Huston continued and emphasised further how 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.”
Mr Tony Whittaker, has lead the development of a web site entirely devoted to the promotion of the Worldwide Internet Evangelism Day.
