Internet Evangelism Day Recap
Well, this year's Internet Evangelism Day (IED) has come and gone, and I'd like to get a sense of how it went overall.
- What did you or your church do for IED?
- Did you make any special changes or post information on your website about IED?
- Did you think it made any difference?
For the recap at my church:
- Unfortunately, a large portion of our congregation is not web savvy, so we simply included a brief announcement about IED and what it was all about as a part of our service. We also already had a Spring Brunch planned for the day, so IED was definately not a focus.
- As for our website, I rolled out a new layout for the site that is much more professional than our last version. It's also easier for our pastor to use, so I have been trying to encourage him to make it more of a focus for our announcments and scheduling. As far as anything specific on the site about IED, we did not post anything. However, here at IJHAW, I've kept the IED banner flying for the better part of the last few months in anticipation.
- It's always hard to judge the impact of the little things we do, but I did notice some eyes opening up when we mentioned different ways to use the internet for evangelism during our IED announcement. So many times we use the internet for useless things, it was nice to see some people respond to getting that first thought of it as an evangelism tool.
It may not have been a momentus change, but I'm more than happy enough to plant the seed. After all, if we don't at least plant the seed, then nothing can ever grow.
