* Do you want to use your life more for God�s glory than you are now?
* Do you know what the Great Commission actually means and do you want to be part of it?
* Do you want to carefully use the Internet to minister to others?
* Do you know enough Scripture to counsel or teach others?
This website will give you some good information. It includes some of what I have learned since December of 2003 up to now. I learned the hard way that it is easy to get involved in too much for ministry using the Internet. Have you heard the statement, "He is a jack of all trades and master of none"? Until I found Yahoo 360, I was trying to do so many Internet ministries instead of focussing on doing the best in a few.
For all of the below, you should plan to pray a lot (my primary times for such are before I get out of bed in the morning and try to go to sleep in the evening), live Proverbs 3:5-6 so that you will be Holy Spirit sensitive (He knows the needs of others and the best way to communicate), frequently think about Scripture and develop a Bible study at least once a month, and be ready for spiritual warfare by researching controversial spiritual issues.
1. Intercessory prayer requests sharing via e-mail or Yahoo 360 messaging.
The latter is limited because of the 2000 character limit. But you could use the blogging tool for such a ministry.
I mostly do intercessory prayer in response to news events and to e-mailed prayer requests. If I were to do my own e-mail prayer request list ministry, I would use an Excel worksheet system to keep track. I would even sort the requests in different ways. The sorting and linked cell features are wonderful for such. I can send you an example of what I did for correspondence school attempt.

2. Other E-mail ministry--
I would recommend having at least three accounts: one for personal friends, one for ministry, and one for receiving other e-mail ministry mass mailings.
I would again also recommend keeping track by using an Excel worksheet system. The sorting and linked cell features are wonderful for such. I can send you an example of what I did for correspondence school attempt.
For protection of those you are ministering to, use the Bcc: feature. You can make several other IDs for the e-mail address you are using which you could insert in the �To:� box. Examples: �for intercessory prayer�, �God�s wisdom seekers�, and �for Christ-likeness�.
Organize your collections of Bible studies, spiritual and secular articles and essays, testimonies, and clean humor. Examples are found in the appropriate link below.
3. Multiply or Yahoo 360 or/and GeoCities active Website or MyChurch
I would recommend 2 new postings per week and good responses to comments that are posted. You can even add new teaching in your comments about the responses to your blogs. You can have e-mail links for individuals to use to respond to new website postings.
See the appropriate link below for further information.
4. Working with other Christian websites which have forums or commenting to blogs.
Determine if the Mission Goals and Statements of Faith are Biblical.
Make sure there is emphasis on Scripture being used properly.
Post quality responses at least three times a week.
Respond to others� comments without fear of exhorting or rebuking. There is "soft love" and "tough love".
5. And if you are a quick typist, quick thinker, and know a lot of Scripture, minister in one or two Christian chat rooms or develop an Instant Messenger ministry.
If you have any questions just e-mail me.
