April 27--Internet Evangelism Day

Hello friends,

I wanted to post the info below much earlier, but became bogged down with both illness, followed by a busy schedule as I was behind on projects.

Well, better late than never! : )

Below is an excerpt from a press release about Internet Evangelism Day. I hope you will support this bold, worthy effort:

Sunday, April 27, has been designated as Internet Evangelism Day. Churches can download free materials from the Internet Evangelism Day website. These materials make it easy for churches to create a short presentation about online outreach on or near that Sunday. A PowerPoint, video clip testimonies, drama scripts, music and handouts can be used to create their own customized program lasting from one minute to 50.

The people behind Internet Evangelism Day also provide year-round resources about online outreach. The ministry explains many ways that Christians can share the good news, including through church websites. Churches often find it difficult to create a site that will engage with outsiders in their area, and find themselves asking, "How can our church website help us reach out into our community?"

A new online tool released by IE Day provides churches with a free 15-page evaluation report. Users assess their own website by answering 55 simple questions. Their customized report is immediately displayed online, ready to print or save. The report's recommendations are tailored with specific practical suggestions, based on the questions that were ticked. View the evaluation tool here: www.InternetEvangelismDay.com/design

IE Day is an initiative of the Internet Evangelism Coalition, a group of online ministries, at Billy Graham Center, Wheaton. It is completely free with NO fund-raising component.

Have a blessed day by reading your Bible and sharing your love of Jesus with others!

Your Brother in Christ,

Write On, the Talk Show!

Hello friends!

The Holy Spirit has me busy at work on a new Internet talk show I'll host each week about writing and self-publishing tips at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Write-On-Right-On

I hope you'll be able to tune into my live talk show online and even call-in to the show!

The free number to call-in is: (646) 200-3542

The show airs live on the following dates this month:

--Thursday, April 3: 11:30AM (Eastern Time)

If you can't listen live, no problemo as the show will be recorded and be made available for listeners at any time.

Given that I'll be hosting the weekly Write On talk show, (which is basically an audio blog), this written blog will no longer be written daily.

Instead, this blog will provide info and resources in support of the weekly talk show.

I'm excited about this blessing, to be able to spread the Good News, to the uttermost parts of the earth, via the Internet.

I hope you'll listen!

Have a blessed day by telling someone about Jesus!

Your Brother in Christ,

Steven Kendall

Write On, Right On!: New Talk Show

I haven't blogged in recent days as I've been busy preparing
an Internet talk show that I will host on BlogTalkRadio.com.

This is real short notice, but...
You are cordially invited to listen to my new Internet talk show,
called "Write On, Right On, Write On!" on
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Write-On-Right-On

The program will be about writing and self-publishing tips.

This Saturday at 6pm ET, I will do a 15 min. practice run of my
show so that I can get a feel for the technology. I'm pretty tired
from composing, recording and uploading my theme music--wait
'til you hear it! A warning in advance...I will need piano lessons soon. : )

You can call-in during my show to speak to me live at:
(646) 200-3542.

Hope you can listen tonight!


If not, no problemo, the show will be recorded and
available online for free.

I hope to do a weekly
show soon, so you'll have an opportunity to hear
me run my mouth in the near future. : )

If you'd like to be a guest on a future show, please
contact me.

God bless,

Steve Kendall

Got Writer's Block? Start a Blog!

Two weeks ago, I mentioned that I would provide a link to a resource for authors who wish to submit manuscripts to Christian publishers. Sorry for the delay, here's that link:
http://www.christianmanuscriptsubmissions.com

And now for this week's tip: Getting over writer's block with blogging...

Many aspiring writers have difficulty getting started. Perhaps you're reluctant to write something for fear of what others will think. I often struggle with concerns over grammar, or sentence structure, both of which are weaknesses that I have. I just move forward and try to edit later, and not worry about what folks think (If you've read my blogs, you can tell I write quickly, without much editing!)

Perhaps you're a writer experiencing a dry period, or writer's block, where you just can't seem to write anything--blogging may be the cure for what ails you!

When you can't seem to write anything, for whatever reason, start a blog, where you can write daily about subjects that come to you fluidly, such as diary passages about what happened during your day, a hobby, dreams, or any topic that you have a passion for.

What is a blog exactly? Blog is a funny word, but it is short "Web log." Blogging basically involves writing short, diary-type entries on any topic, that one shares with the entire world. If you allow ads on your blog, you can earn money as well. Google has a great service that I use, called Blogger.com, which permits one to create a free blog and restrict ads to specific topics, such as Christianity.

Last year, the U.S. morning news program, Good Morning America, did a really good story on how one can use a blog to spread a message and earn money.

I personally encourage Christians to use the Internet to spread the Gospel through blogging.

I currently have three blogs, the one you're currently reading, as well as my daily blog about Bible Study and Christian resources called BibleStudyCafe.com and Helmet of Salvation, a blog where I offer my opinions on topics of interest to Christians. By using these blogs, I have an opportunity to write, almost every day and therefore keep my writing muscles (my mind) in shape, just as daily exercise keeps the body in shape.

Sometimes I "re-purpose" or take one blog topic and use it with my other blogs. For example, the entry you're currently reading, was originally written for my BibleStudyCafe.com blog, but I re-purposed and slightly changed the focus to fit this specific blog on writing tips. In other words, whenever possible, I try to use something I've written in different ways. Basically, the idea is to write once, and use the material multiple times and in different ways.

As a Christian writer, I think of blogging in this fashion:
In Acts 1:8, Jesus told his disciples and us, that when we accept Jesus, the Holy Spirit will help us to witness to others: "... you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." The Internet makes it possible to witness for Christ to the uttermost parts of the earth.

Have a blessed day, by spreading the Good News about Jesus!

Your Brother in Christ,

Steven Kendall
