Washington, USA - There is a growing awareness for using the Internet to reach people for Christ.
Michelle Diedrich of Global Media Outreach points to one reason why the Internet has become a useful tool.
"We live in a very difficult time, in many ways, of sharing the gospel. More and more countries are closing their doors, particularly to American missionaries," she notes. "And so as it becomes not only more and more dangerous -- or not even available -- for a missionary to go, it's also becoming more and more expensive."
She says any Christian can become a part of Global Media Outreach and apply to become an online missionary. Another spokesman, Dr. Allan Beeber, finds it exciting for those who participate in leading someone to Christ, someone they might then see in heaven.
"I mean, I just get chill bumps just thinking about it," he admits. "I'm actually being used of God to affect the spiritual destiny of somebody I will see in heaven."
Everyone can take part in the Jesus 2020 campaign, and churches can find people in their own community seeking Jesus as their Savior.
