27 …evangelism is anything you say or do to help another person move into closer relationship with God, or into Christian community. (George Hunter III) The heart of evangelism is having an alive relationship with God, being part of a church you love, and caring that people outside the church find what you’ve discovered. (Martha Grace Reese) Evangelism is to cooperate with the Holy Spirit and others to bring one person one step closer to Christ. (Evangelical Covenant Church) Empowering the Community to Share their Faith

32  Who is the audience?  Planning—visit other sites.  Reflect on what you are: what are your core values and how do you want to say that?  Define a reasonable scope and get buy-in from stake- holders in the congregation.  Do an easy survey of your audience—what are they looking for, what do they expect?  Decide on the types of content to include (+ graphics).  Map out your basic navigation (7 buckets is about all a person can digest).  Pick the technology or platform.  Create the design.  Build your content.  Release the site.

34  Shifting from providing religious content and programming to curating religious content and experiences for all ages  A content curator is someone who continually finds, groups, organizes, and shares the best and most relevant content on a specific subject to match the needs of a specific audience.
