My director wrote the following email to her ministry partners and I thought that I’d copy it in full as she is a journalism major and I am not.
Easter is a time of reflection, a time to stop to remember Christ’s death and celebrate his resurrection. Many who rarely attend will be going to church this weekend. We have the Easter story on our sites http://powertochange.com/discover/faith/easterstory/ . In the last week 3500 people have spent an average of 5 minutes reading this article. Of those readers, 220 indicated a decision and will be offered follow-up. How exciting that Easter will take on a whole new meaning for each of them this year!
Up until March 24th The Easter Story had only been receiving 0 – 5 visits a day. As the Easter season approached, people took interest and typed “Easter Story” into Google’s search. We had an article ready to meet their needs and the number of visitors jumped. When we have articles that receive so much traffic in Google, it creates an incredible opportunity to connect with people and to share Christ.
I’m humbled by the way God uses this ministry to help people come to know Him. There are so many ways that people find our sites and end up in mentoring relationships. Countless conversations are taking place every day and people are being offered the message of hope.
Please pray for this ministry over Easter as the number of people going to the Easter Story will continue to increase until Monday. In the days and weeks that follow, another article will become of interest. Pray that God would give us the words to make Him relevant to people’s lives whatever the season.
God is so creative and allows His message to be shared in such a unique way. What a blessing that we can be part of that. Your involvement means a lot!
Wishing you and your family a deep and meaningful Easter.
Serving together
