Internet Evangelism: Church Army's 'Now A Christian' Website & Email Course
Church Army website aims to help and excite new Christians as they begin their journeys of faith.
Following on from Internet Evangelism Day (25 April), Church Army is highlighting its free, five-week internet course, which was launched earlier this year and is now reaching the 500 member mark.
'Now a Christian' is an e-mail-based programme to help new Christians explore the implications and understand the delights and complexities of what it is to follow Christ. The website backs this up with activities that allow the user to interact with fellow travellers on this journey. It is the latest of Church Army's growing online ministries and combines e-mail with website content. It recognises that not every new Christian is ready to join a group or undertake an Alpha course until they have explored a little more about their new faith for themselves, in a safe and non-threatening way. 'Now a Christian' helps people who are embracing a new way of life, but want to think about how that works in practice.
Visually, 'Now a Christian' takes you on a journey through a city where you can post questions, get rid of ‘rubbish’ in your life,share about keeping faith alight,and see what difference being a Christian has made in other people’s lives.'Now a Christian' provides a series of very short e-mails, one per day for five weeks. The e-mails deal with everyday concerns about living out the Christian faith and include some encouraging verses in the Bible. It also includes an interactive virtual landscape, where people can record their thoughts in response to the daily e-mails, and find out what other people who are using the scheme are thinking.
