After spending roughly two years unsuccessfully trying to develop effective student evangelistic sites in Eastern European languages, I discovered tonight that all the while our Croatian ministry’s site has been leading people to Jesus quite effectively without our help and without our knowledge. Last month 79 people indicated decisions to trust Christ while on the site, and for the last 12 months, the average has been 43.
I’m okay knowing they did it without our help. In fact, that is the best of all possibilities. It’s frustrating that this has been happening without our knowledge, and I suspect it has been happening without their knowledge, too. Who reads those statistics reports, anyway, right?
Now that we know, we can begin making sure we do everything possible to personally connect with the visitors who put their faith in Christ while reading the site.
Put in contrast to our currently low response rates for our Russian language site, GodLovesRussia.com, I am encouraged that God might still use this approach to evangelism!
