The 'Together' vision

However, we have not yet learned to work together online!

This page details our vision for us to work together in our online efforts, to use the internet more effectively.

I encourage you to read through this vision carefully and think about how we can work together more effectively online and with our websites

Our vision of using the internet more effectively, by working together:

The internet is a tremendous resource that we should be using to spread the Gospel, keep in contact with our church members and advertise our ministries. We ought to use it to it’s fullest.

Part of this involves encouraging team work and cooperation

The world has learned to use the internet to its maximum potential

Businesses have realised that you can spend your entire life trying to build a local business reaching potentially 30,000 people in your local area, or you can develop a business online and potentially reach millions. You don't even have to pay out that much to get a web site set up and running!

The church as a whole has not figured this out yet!

Most churches and pastors are still using traditional methods to build their church in the local community and have not grabbed ahold of the potential of the internet as a tool for evangelism and the spread of the gospel as well as good teaching of God's Word.


We can reach literally millions for Jesus using the internet, however most are not using the net anywhere near how effectively it could be used!

Many churches have websites that don't even get any visitors!

We need to improve this. It is possible to saturate the internet with good quality, Word based resources.




Factors like fear, uncertainty and not believing we can do it and simple lack of wisdom in knowing how to do it effectively are stopping us!

The world has figured out how to do it and we have not. Let's learn from what they have learned and take that knowledge and use it for God and for good

Christians are starting to learn to work together in their communities. Pastors are realising the importance of relationships between local churches.

However Christians have still not learned to work together with our websites!

The world has learned to cross link and interlink their websites (people place links to other people's sites on their sites) on a large scale to increase their web presence. Search Engines use things like this to place sites higher in the rankings in searches.

For example the Adult internet industry is using this principle to increase their power and exposure on the internet on a huge scale!

Many people who are anti good Word based teaching are using the internet to push their opinions and ideas effectively through websites designed to atttack the Word.

Some denominational Christians have learned to use good marketing techniques online to develop their web presence and exposure, but Word Christians are still far behind!

Many of the independant ministries have not learned to interlink their websites, except for a small amount of links placed on their sites to larger ministries. Many of the smaller ministries are still not getting any benefit from this principle.

Many smaller independant ministries are still 'standing alone' on the net, with very few cross linking their websites. Most just place links on their sites to a few of the major Word of Faith churches / ministries

As a result of this 'stand alone' mentality, many church website get incredibly low internet traffic to their sites. It is possible to have a website and never have anyone visit it. That is completely pointless.

The whole point of having a website is getting people to visit it.!

COME ON CHURCH! WE CAN DO BETTER

Jesus said that the world was far more shrewd and wise with reaching their current generation than the church is!


Luke 16:8


We need to learn what works on the internet


We need to learn how to be more effecitve in using the internet to get God's Word to the world and to develop our local churches and ministries



Teamwork will helps us fulfil our commision!
