Rusty Wright, lecturer/representative at large for Probe Ministries and a web evangelist, told The Christian Post some of the trends of web-use among churches and the advantages spreading the Gospel online.

Wright: I think that there's keen interest in technology and it's coupled with a keen interest that people have in spirituality – a natural blend. And also one of the important things about the web is that it's not only pervasive – you've got a billion people online – but also that people can access in secret and anonymously.

Wright: I think there could be several reasons. I think there are some who are not tech-savvy, probably a lot especially from the older generation. Also, I think Internet evangelism in some circles lacks the sizzle that television or large evangelistic events hold. For instance, if you can see pictures or a video tape of thousands of people out in a meeting coming forward to receive Christ, people get excited about that or if they watch an excellent presentation on television or in the movies. Internet evangelism, although it's very broad, it's also … quieter. You don't get lots of people in a room or in a stadium at the same time. They're all out there in their living rooms or their Internet cafes or their offices, typing away or reading away. It's sometimes hard to communicate a vision of what could happen through the Internet. I think that's one reason why it hasn't really caught on in a big way with the North American Church although it is growing. There are more people who are aware of it.
