AVITW puts
an emphasis on building long term relationships and getting involved in
the community rather than taking part in “hit and run” evangelism.
As a result
it is necessary to build meaningful relationships before earning the right
to share our faith. The question then arises, how do you make initial
contact? Well we have discovered that the most effective way is through
chatrooms.
A Chatroom
is a superb opportunity to get talking to people and we find that they
tend to be very open to discussing matters of faith.

Its hard to know what to say
about our work in chat rooms. There is no set formula about how to share
the gospel in them. The best way is to simply go
and try it out. By spending time in the chat room you will find that
you build friendships much quicker than purely through e-mail and so it
is a very valuable tool. Below I have listed a few pointers:
 Choose
a name that is unusual as it is often a good talking point
Don’t
be afraid of looking stupid. If you do make a mistake you can always leave
and return using a different name.
Get
people talking by asking them questions about their lives Show an interest
in what people are saying
Look
for opportunities to bring in the gospel and pray that God will provide
those opportunities
If
you are worried meet another Christian their who has done chat room evangelism
before.
Don’t
be afraid to mention your faith. People are much more open online.
Remember
that people who visit chat rooms want to talk and so are open to discuss
your faith
Don’t
condemn others for their actions
ALWAYS
ASK TO EXCHANGE
E-MAIL ADDRESSES WITH ANYBODY YOU MEET BEFORE THE CONVERSATION ENDS AND
MAKE SURE YOU E-MAIL THEM IMMEDIATELY.
