May is Digital Outreach Month
People Reaching People—A Powerful and Mighty Force
Dear People Power for Jesus Partner,
You have an incredible gift at your fingertips—literally. "Your keyboard," says the team at Internet Evangelism Day. They claim there is growing potential to share the good news online in a variety of ways. Christians can investigate these options during May, which has been designated Digital Outreach Month. At its center is the worldwide annual focus Sunday, Internet Evangelism Day itself, on May 15.
"You do not need to be technical," says Tony Whittaker, IE Day coordinator. "There are many simple yet fulfilling ways of being salt and light in cyberspace."
On May 15, IE Day is partnering with several major publishers to offer free e-book downloads of Christian titles which are normally pay-for. These cover web evangelism, social networking and other areas of effective communication. [IEDay.net/eb]
 May 15 is Internet Evangelism Day.
"This is a great opportunity to explore digital evangelism. I encourage Christians everywhere to take advantage of these free downloads to learn how to effectively share their faith in the digital world," says Naomi Frizzell, Chief Communications Officer of The Lausanne Movement.
IE Day encourages churches and other groups to focus on digital evangelism during May, at any level they choose. As a minimum, IE Day can be featured in a church bulletin, so that members can investigate its resource website. Alternatively, focus spots can be created during meetings using IE Day's free downloadable video clips or PowerPoint, or even perform a drama sketch that relates to online evangelism. Two new video-clip resource sites could be showcased live by projection, to demonstrate how to add an evangelistic video to Facebook with one click. These videos can also be downloaded to a mobile phone to share face-to-face.
IE Day's site includes pages on using mobile phones for evangelism, creating 'outsider-friendly' church websites and introductory videos, social networking, how to blog or build a website, and much else. Explore www.IEDay.net to learn more.
The Power of People Power—A Powerful and Mighty Force
There is obviously an urgent need for every Christian church and every Christian to be actively involved in helping to reach as many people as we possibly can with the saving gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, for, without Him, people are lost for all eternity. And People Power for Jesus is another simple way for thousands of Christians to be involved in being "fishers of people" for Jesus.
A very simple but powerfully effective way to achieve this goal is through People Power, which, without question is a powerful means for achieving this goal and effectively communicating the gospel of Jesus Christ... As Richard Halverson pointed out "People Power" is a mighty force.
Click HERE for "People Power Helps" to give you practical tips for simple ways to reach others for Christ.
Will you also encourage many Christian friends to join with you as a "People Power for Jesus Partner" by sending them the People Power for Jesus website and encouraging them to join. Be sure to let them know that there is no charge only simple and non-offensive ways to help share the gospel with family, friends and contacts.
May we, together, daily commit and trust our life and way to God telling him that we are available for Him to use and to help us to be "as Jesus" in some way to every life we touch this day. This is a powerful prayer. I've been praying it every day for years, and plan to do so for the rest of my life.
As you continue to stand with us as a People Power for Jesus partner may God richly bless and reward you in his own abundant way—and supply all of your needs according to his riches in glory.
Sincerely in Christ,
Richard (Dick) Innes
