Top Evangelistic Web Sites - Check Them Out!

Power to Change from Campus Crusade Canada is an excellent general-purpose evangelistic site, combining a clear explanation of the Gospel, questions and answers on particular problems, and testimony. It is available in a number of languages, and the team is looking for help to translate it into new languages. Consider linking to it, rather than attempting to write your own explanations of the Gospel.

CCC has partnered with other ministries and groups of churches to promote the site using secular advertising on buses (for a regional church-based campaign) and TV advertising. This approach is very successful.

Using the 'Bridge' approach

There are many good evangelistic pages using the 'Bridge' concept:
a. Sport, hobbies and special interestsSports have a worldwide following - there are even Chinese-language Manchester United sites! An evangelistic site can be built around a particular sport, team, event, or sports-people.
The Goal and To the Next Level use testimony in a very effective way. Doug Reese, webmaster of To the Next Level, shares recent encouraging feedback.
Jason Stephens is built round an individual Christian sportsman. But there are few other such sport pages.

Hobby pages and affinity-group interests represent a major evangelistic opportunity.

The Ragamuffin Group believes that the Web is no longer just a Western toy. It has become a medium for outreach to unreached people around the world, including the 10-40 Window. There is a big need to create evangelistic sites to target these people in an effective and contextualized way, in both English and other languages. This is an opportunity for individual Christians and Christian organizations to reach people in our world though the Web and email contacts.

Please pray for The Ragamuffin Group that we can be effective in Web outreach.
