Your Church on the Internet

Now it's time to think through what you might want to put on your own website.

Whether you've got a big ministry, or you just want to put your personal testimony on the Internet like I did, you can make an impact on people's lives around the world.

In fact, you probably already have many of the materials lying around that can be added to a website fairly easily (and inexpensively).

	Sermon outlines, transcripts, or audio and video tapes
	Bible studies
	Tapes of conferences and special events
	Testimonies
	The Gospel and other tracts
	Missionary updates and education about missions
	Offer prayers, encouragement and other ministry over the Internet

A woman from an island off the coast of Spain wrote me one day to say that she had printed some of my sermon outlines to share with her congregation. They only have about 10 people at the church every Sunday and don't have a pastor currently, so they used my message to encourage the believers.

We often have no idea how God will use His Word if we will just make it available to people. The Bible promises:

"As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." (Isaiah 55:10-11, NIV)

I imagine by this point you're convinced this is a good idea. Gutenberg would have been tickled pink. Now, how do you get started?
