There’s a good new example of experimental, online ministry launching at the site I am Second.com.

I am Second is designed to provide 24/7 connection points for those looking for meaning in life, rescue from addictions, hopelessness, etc.  Since one of the most popular uses of the Internet is search this just seems like a great idea – prepare a place for those who are searching.

Sometimes innovation in ministry is driven by logic.

Some people are skeptical about the internet being a viable tool for sharing one's faith.  While some argue about the validity of such efforts, others are mobilizing resources and taking action. 

For example, the Internet Evangelism Coalition, an umbrella group of evangelical Christian organizations who share a vision for online outreach, backs the Internet Evangelism Day, a day set aside each year to draw attention to promoting usage of the net for evangelism.  Some of the partnering organizations supporting this day include:

• American Tract Society

• Billy Graham Center

• Brown Governance

• Campus Crusade for Christ

• Christian Broadcasting Network

• Christianity Today

• Evangelism Explosion

• ForMinistry.com

• Gospel.com

• Mission America
