Email Evangelism?
Posted by Pastor Dan Masshardt at 6/16/2008 9:07 AM and is filed under uncategorized 
I have a friend from High School. I became a Christian and he didn't. Our lives have gone in much different directions and now he is wondering what's going on.
I had an idea that's just begun but is showing promise already. We're taking turns - through email - asking each other questions about life, perspectives, faith, etc. We're both really enjoying it. I'm learning about him and he's learning about me - and God.
Are there people you could have this type of conversation with?

I have had the same experience with a friend that I have worked with before I went into the ministry and he also was a firend in high school. I found out later that he is in a church. I know there are others who are looking for some kind of a communication with those who belive in Christ. They have questions and we have some of the answers. Why not go to the email slot and share the Word with them.
I just had an email from a person who went to this church as a child and when they hit that certain age they left it. He has emialed me and asked about the church. He was looking to attend one. I have not seen him yet, but the welcome mat is out for him and others.

Asking questions back and forth is one of the best evangelistic practices Christians can do together with people who have not surrendered to Christ. That goes for believers and non-believers alike.
The believer can benefit from the questions and answers by being encouraged and/or challenged to grow deeper in their commitment to Christ. The non-believer can learn about Christ without seeming like some one is "preaching" to them; because in asking them questions about their beliefs and listening to them, you are respecting them as a person and not as an object of conquest.
