Evangelism through Internet Community

Abstract

In the 21st, a large amount of data can be used speedily in all areas of education, culture, economics, politics and religions thanks to the developed multimedia and the internet. Also, multimedia satisfies the needs of contemporary men who so use them all day long. Using multimedia will help evangelize more people more accurately and faster than the customary ways of mission. Hence, this study proposes evangelism through internet community. Internet communities do not cost while other media do and not only churches but also individuals can use them as a way of evangelism. Also, accuracy and speed will enable more efficient evangelism, helping more diverse classes to benefit. This study suggests an effective way of evanglism with a focus on practical methods of evangelism through CCM internet community along with a theoretical background. An internet community makes members share their interest, necessary resources and helpful information. Cultural approaches are most natural ways to induce those who do not go to churches but have less repulsion. Also, it is necessary to help those with a neutral attitude to Christianity who are atheists and not interested in Christianity to come to the community voluntarily by providing useful information that differs from information provided to those favorable to Christianity. The antagonists fundamentally reject Christian truth and culture. Their negative image and misguided knowledge shall be transformed through direct questions and answers. As the purpose of CCM internet community is not evangelism, its impact remains insignificant. However, this study proposes an alternative hoping that the suggession is adopted by other internet communities to evangelize to the end of the earth.
