Social Web2.0 Websites Are An Excellent Place To Share The Gospel






Many Christians do not know where to start to reach others for Christ online. Many churches designate special days to go visit people in their area, sometimes called visitation or soulwinning, and although that is a good thing, we should be sharing Christ every day, whereever we are. Many times people dont want to talk to a perfect stranger about something very personal to them, and often times it can be very difficult and discouraging for those witnessing. The internet is no different… you can't expect to walk into a chat room, forum, or social site that no one knows you, and expect to win them all to Christ. You need to befriend people, show them that you are a nice person, that you care, that you are a Christian and want to make a difference in the world. Then once they see that you are real, then they might open up to you and be receptive. The key is having direct access to thousands of people 24/7.
Below is an image of hundreds of social website found on the go2web20 directory. What I would suggest to you is to find a social website that you have particular interests in. If you are a sports fan and relate with other sports fans, that try to pick a social site that focuses on sports. If you are into quilting or cooking, then you would want to find a social site that discusses these topics. The more that you can relate with others in a community, the more opportunities you will have to make friends, and be liked by those around you. Also, if you pick a place that covers your hobbies, it can be more fun to meet others and share the gospel. I am sure that some sites listed in this directory are not acceptable, so keep that in mind when skimming through the list. There are many more social opportunites online than this list and effective ways to use them, but we will cover that more later.
