"Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
These are Jesus words recorded in Matthew 28:19-20, also known as the Great Commission.
Now day's it's possible to go and make disciples of all nations from your computer or even your cell phone. It's called Internet evangelism, and it's something we're very passionate about here at OurChurch.Com.
In this month's newsletter we highlight what we're doing to help you and your organization share the gospel online. See what we're doing next month to help bloggers. Plus we've got an inspring video, a new template, and another coupon. Have at it!

The explosion in popularity of social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have led to tons of new, creative ways for Christians to build relationships and share their faith with people online.

If you have an interest in sharing your faith online and are looking for some creative ways to do it, this series is perfect for you.
2) 7 WAYS OURCHURCH.COM CAN HELP YOU GO GREEN
Happy Earth Day! While environmentalism is often associated with the political left, care for God’s creation has become a mainstream issue important to Christians all over the political spectrum. According to Catalyst Leadership Digital Magazine:
“90% of evangelicals (as well as 62% of mainline Protestants and 52% of Catholics) would like to see fellow Christians take a more active role in caring for creation in a biblical way.”
“45% of evangelicals report making environmentally conscious life-style changes in the past year.”
I believe blogging is one of the best avenues to achieve success.
Whether your dream is to lead a great church, build a great company, bring lots of people to faith in Christ, fight an injustice, or anything else, blogging can help you accomplish that. In fact, you’re probably already reading the blog of someone you admire because they’re successful at something similar to your dream.
I want to become a better blogger, and I want to help you become a better blogger, whether you’ve got years of experience or are just thinking about starting your first blog.
Let me explain how we can do this together.
