A few weeks ago we posted the scoop on Global Media Outreach – one of Campus Crusade’s Global Evangelistic Web Site Strategies.  Want to learn how easy it is to be involved in reaching out to people all over the globe through your home computer?  Volunteer with Global Media Outreach (GMO).  As the image above describe, almost 2 million people every day look for God by searching for Him on the Internet!  A large percentage of these are visiting sites such as Jesus2020.com, TrueLoveandGod.com and 4StepstoGod.mobi – these are just 3 of hundreds of web sites GMO operates.

See how people are coming to faith in real time.  This map is very cool to watch!

In 2009, Global Media Outreach:

  • Presented the gospel 61,695,024 times
  • Saw 10,502,641 people indicate a decision for Jesus
  • GMO volunteers responded to 1,943,585 emails requesting follow up from 191 countries

Da Gospel thru Movies

Posted on

Everyone watches movies.  Our culture loves them.

More often than not, movies tell a story that has some idea that is related to God, spirituality or topic that Jesus talked about.

Why not go to the movies with some friends who don’t know God and then discuss it with them afterwards?  You’d need to be prepared to ask some good questions – which is always key in transitioning a conversation to the gospel.

Global Short Film Network is an entire ministry dedicated to leveraging short films – less than 20 minutes, usually lower budget films, not 2 hour blockbuster movies – to fuel gospel centered conversations.  Visit their web site here and click on “Training” to see how to get started.  You can actually watch their training videos to see examples of how to use the films.

You can even download films from their web site to your iPhone or laptop for easy sharing.  Many students now share the films on their phone with friends.

I have been volunteering for GMO for about 3 years – responding to about 3 emails a week.  The emails come from visitors to evangelistic web sites all over the world.  Here is what my GMO inbox looked like earlier this week – this is a screen shot from an actual message I received.  Results like this have been typical for me at least 2x per month.
