True or False: People don't search for spiritual
things online.
False
- Millions of people each day conducted spiritual searches online.
Although we must assume that these relate to all types of religions,
including searches for horoscopes, fortune telling, and similar
New Age issues, we have seen huge response to the gospel message
online with thousands of people each day indicating a decision
to follow Jesus.
True or False: You can't be a missionary
online - you need to go to the people and see them face to face.
False
- With over 4,000 "online missionaries" answering more than
2 million emails in 2009, this myth has been debunked. But let's
hear it straight from the people who answer these emails each
day. One OM told us: "For health reasons I am limited in the
ways I can serve so this is just great for me. I can do this
at any hour, when I feel well, and am not tied to a roster.
I have enjoyed the privilege of praying for people all over
the world and I am sure I have grown in the process." Or how
about this comment, "I am thoroughly enjoying this and I have
a made one good friend so far through doing this. I am a bit
shy in sharing my faith face to face, even though I have done
that before. This means really frees me up to boldly share Christ
with people." The truth is online missionaries are sharing
their faith with people all over the world, every single day,
without ever leaving their home.
To be an online missionary, how much
seminar schooling do you need?
None
1 year
3 years
None
- Again, our online missionaries have debunked this one. With
an online Bible, time to pray about the response, a database
with answers and scriptures to almost any question AND a Community
Leader backing you up, Christians with all levels of Bible knowledge
can share with others online.
True or False - Because you don't
know who is saying "Yes" to Jesus online, their decisions are
not real
False
- Just as in a tent revival, someone raising their hands doesn't
always mean that Jesus has come into their life. But because
our online missionaries personally respond to the emails that
come in, we have a pretty good sense of how many people are
following through on their decision. The comments these new
believers make to our online missionaries says it all: "One
man told me that he felt that there was no one out there for
him, he said that he had sent emails to multiple websites and
no one answered any of his questions, but now that I answered,
he feels that he is not alone and that there is someone out
there who cares and who is praying for him!"
How high a level of computer skills
do you need to be an online missionary?
Computer programmer level
Basic computer class training
Ability to send an email
Ability to
send an email - The great thing about the response
system the online missionaries use is that it is so easy! If
you can send an email, you can share your faith online.
We have online missionaries of all ages, all walks of life and
all technical skill levels. But the key is not the system, it
is in the sharing with others.
