The Apostle Paul was one of the most dedicated Evangelists of all time. He was ridiculed, persecuted, and even sent to prison in his quest to preach the Word of God. The Great Commission of Jesus Christ to all his disciples and to all Christians thereafter is to “go preach and make disciples of all men” as instructed in Matthew 28:18-20. All believers are charged with this task.
It must have been laborious to spread the Gospel back in the days. There were none of the technologies available then. The evolution of technology helped churches and ministries reach out to a wider audience. Radio and later television became tools for Evangelists.
Today, the internet has become an important tool to further the cause of the Great Commission. There are web ministries in the form of online churches and non-profit organizations. These web ministries not only help preach the Good News but also help its physical church to reach out and connect to hundreds of thousands or even millions of internet savvy “lost sheep”. Most of these online web ministries have dynamic and inter-active websites with different services to serve as a channel to reach out to God.
The internet is 7/24/365. It never sleeps! An online ministry, therefore, has the capability to touch a person’s heart anytime, anywhere. An individual caught in a seemingly tight situation can just go online and search for an online church and instantly feel loved and cared for through inspirational videos, devotions, prayer request section and even an online staff that you can “chat” with, pray with or even just lend you an ear so you can pour your heart out.
Various online churches from different sects and denominations have taken advantage of the internet in terms of ministering not only to their church members but also to those searching for the truth. An online church in the form of a web ministry can be a source of hope, faith and love.
