Christians may find multiple reasons why the gospel isn't being shared with every person in the world, but one thing is sure: Technology is no longer a legitimate excuse. So says a former executive for one of the world's largest computer companies who foresaw how the World Wide Web would revolutionize evangelism.
"This is the Internet moment in human history," said Walt Wilson, a former Apple Computer executive and one-time senior vice president at Computer Sciences Corp., a $16 billion company with 600 offices worldwide. "We have the technology to reach every man, woman and child on the Earth. We're the first generation in all human history to have this capacity."
Wilson, founder of Global Media Outreach (GMO), partnered with Campus Crusade for Christ in 2004 to create one-page Web sites that present the gospel using the Four Spiritual Laws evangelistic resource. Today Wilson says GMO has more than 100 Web sites, including five dedicated to the U.S. military. The sites receive at least 7 million visitors monthly from every nation on the globe, with at least 1 million people reporting decisions for Christ each month since June. Through partnerships with churches nationwide, GMO has mobilized some 3,600 "online missionaries" to respond to questions and comments posted at the sites. The missionaries share personal stories, Scriptures and prayers.
"The people who come to us are in desperate need," Wilson said. "They're not people who want to argue with God or stick their finger at His eye. They're people in desperate need saying: ‘I need help. Tell me about Jesus.'"
