There is a global audience for Christian
resources on the Internet.

• The Internet Opportunity
• Digital RevolutionThe Internet is a
  revolutionary communication tool that breaks down
  the barriers of time and geography. The rapid
  deployment and adoption of the Internet is as
  groundbreaking as the invention of the printing
  press almost 500 years ago.

What are you doing to reach it?

• While the Internet is a tremendous mission field
• 25 of Internet users have searched for religious
  content (USA Today)
• the Christian witness online remains fragmented.
• Zero Christian sites crack the top 1,000
  worldwide addresses (Alexa.com)
• No one organization can hope to reach this
  mission field alone
