ABOUT US
Cybermissions is run by John Edmiston who has been in digital ministry since 1991 and who is a member of the World Evangelical Alliance Missions Commission, on the executive of the Internet Evangelism Coalition and who is an adjunct professor at Fuller Theological Seminary. John Edmiston is an Australian who has lived as a missionary in Papua New Guinea and the Philippines. Cybermissions is a network of volunteers and part-time staff in many nations, many of whom are highly qualified in various aspects of computer ministry. We tend to be evangelical/charismatic in theological orientation but willingly partner with all bible-believing, born-again Christians.
WHY TECHNOLOGY?
As good stewards of the grace of God we need to make sure that our time, talent and treasure are put to good use. If I prepare a bible study for a group on Friday evening it only takes a few more minutes to upload it to the Internet—where it will be available for years—and where thousands may read it. Thus, as a bible teacher, using the Internet makes a LOT of good sense. That is good stewardship of talent. At the moment we are reaching about 1.8 million people per annum on a budget of just $35,000! That is about two cents per life impacted in some way. That is good stewardship of treasure. And the Internet reaches people even when I am asleep or when I am travelling—and that is good stewardship of time. Of course it is God who gives the results and the power belongs only to the Name of Jesus!
I would like to invite you to join us in this wonderful gospel outreach. We are looking for project donors, prayer partners, and for folks to give $20, $40, $60 or even $80 a month on a regular basis. You will be surprised at what God will do through you as you pray, give and go with Cybermissions!
Blessings,
John Edmiston
