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.
Each of the next 20 weekdays, some fantastic guest bloggers and I are going to share and discuss one creative Internet evangelism idea each day. That’s 20 ideas from 12 bloggers in 20 days.
All of this leads up Internet Evangelism Day, April 25, 2010
The purpose of this group blogging project as well as Internet Evangelism Day is to raise awareness about the opportunities each of us has to use some facet of the Internet to share the good news of Jesus Christ with others.
If that gets you excited, here are 5 ways you can get involved.
But before I got to those 5 things. I want to give a big shout out (and some link love) to the following bloggers who will be contributing ideas.
- Tony Whittaker
- Dan King

I have created and make 14 inch circular canvas books that spell out the plan of salvation in colors, felt, trims, buttons, jewels and beads. It is color-coded and goes along with the colors of the powerband bracelet. It is sturdy and perfect for short-term mission trips, VBS, Sunday School, backyard bible clubs and camps. It is a visual tool to spread the gospel. I have sent these all over the world with youth, pastors, missionaries, and friends and also here in America. It is available in English, Spanish, and Swahili. I will be glad to share information on how to make with anyone that is interested. Please email me at jwjoseph320@yahoo.com. Thanks Joyce

For all my friends, Jesus is the only way to the right Kingdom, in where we should be as the Kingdom of God wants us in pure heart and Glorify his name. For he is alive and miracle walking God, he can do anything without paying any single cent, please, believe me, trust in him and he will do great, great things upon you.
Thanks for the great list!

Hi Shea, sure we appreciate you sharing articles posted here. When you do, please don't repost the entire article, though, post an excerpt with a link to the full article here on Christian Web Trends. Thanks!
I recently joined a new social community based around the Bible Series that will be airing on the History Channel in March. I have found it a GREAT place to express my faith and to talk about it with others. I think you would really enjoy it and it would even be a good blog post to talk about it if you enjoy it as much as I do.
The site is http://community.bibleseries.tv you can watch the trailers for the Bible Series too if you haven't seen it yet.
I hope you like it and thank you for all the work you put into your blog!
Cool love your article. I also wrote a post of IE Day
