Chat Room Ministry

an approach to online internet evangelism and outreach

Table of Contents


When I first found myself in a chat room in the summer of 1997 it was on a Sunday afternoon. I was immediately presented with an exciting opportunity to witness, and my fingers began typing words. I watched in amazement as that keyboard to keyboard experience began an internet ministry I have been involved in since that day.


Tercel Goes Chatting
I planned a "Chat with the author" session. God had much bigger plans!

My First Chat
That first chat room experience was a divine appointment!

Getting Connected
Web-based chat rooms and how to find them, older irc networks, software, and a note on maintaining order.

Get Ready to Chat!
What to expect, Spiritual preparation and commission.

Using Chat to Witness
How can we witness to others in secular or pagan chatrooms? Who comes to Christian chat rooms, and how can we reach them for Christ?

Do I really care about JT?
Too often we Christians get busy socializing and miss the opportunities God gives us to reach a lost world. Do we really care?

You're on the air!
An innovative combination of chat and streaming audio via a radio station with a web simulcast.

Chat Room Ministry: Testimonies
True stories of people who have found Christ in chat rooms, and other ways chat rooms have been used for ministry.

Learning NetSpeak: A Glossary
A glossary and mini-primer on what you need to know to get started.

Chat Room Links
Links to some great places to get involved or learn more about chat room ministry.


-- I use the nickname Nurice, Tercel, or Bearpatches in the chatrooms. --
