Sunday April 25 is Worldwide Web Day for Churches
Churches around the world will use Internet Evangelism Day on April 25 to learn how to use the digital media.
Wheaton, IL, March 11, 2010 --(PR.com)-- "The last 15 years have changed our world for ever," claims Tony Whittaker, coordinator of Internet Evangelism Day. "Digital media are transforming the way we communicate, behave and even think. If Facebook was a country, it would have the third largest population in the world."
Internet Evangelism Day is a strategic resource to help the worldwide church understand these issues and use the Web to communicate their message. It is both a year-round online guide and an annual focus day - to be held this year on Sunday 25 April.
Churches can use Internet Evangelism Day resources to create a presentation for their members on or near that Sunday (or at any other time they choose). The IE Day site offers free downloads: PowerPoint, video clips, handouts, drama scripts, music and posters. These enable any church to build a customized program, lasting from five minutes to fifty.
2010's focus day will be the sixth to be used by churches around the world since the initiative's launch in 2005. Over this period, digital media have developed dramatically with the advent of YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, plus the growing use of mobile phones to access online services.
IE Day's website is also a one-stop resource covering many subjects including: how to build a church website that is 'outsider friendly', using Twitter in evangelism, and ideas for blogging.
It is supported by a wide range of leaders and denominations. "I am glad to commend Internet Evangelism Day," says John Stott.
