Carry on as you normally would-- Getting to know other people and engaging in conversation (which is why we're on in the first place, right?) However, keep in mind that our Lord Jesus Christ commands us to go into the world, to spread the gospel. (Mark 16:15)
To be a member of S.T.R.I.K.E., all we ask is that you follow these three mission statements:
1.)
2.)
3.)
or e-mail creton4@yahoo.com and you're on! (Please include your internet code-name and e-mail address on the form so we can keep you informed on any special events we may be having, and so we can keep in touch).

Why not? What better way to reach out to the lost than through chat rooms? From what we understand, this is the world's first outgoing chat-room ministry (that's not merely a ministry chat room). A few outgoing chat ministries have surfaced over the last year, and we're thankful for that. But if it took that long for more than one group of christians to start evangelizing the Internet, then we as christians have been lazy. We sat idle while the internet was pioneered. It was as if computer-literate christians dug their heads in the sand, allowing evil to triupmph. Are we to just hide quietly in our christian chat rooms and complain about our society's decaying values? NO, I SAY! We draw the line here and now! You've seen the sinful language and sexual exploitation that goes on in most of the chat rooms. Have you had enough? If so, then let's do something about it-- Offer them Christ!
Now it's our turn to reach out to them for Jesus, and introduce them to the light of salvation!
We applaud the work being done by our brothers and sisters in christian chat rooms-- In ministering, counseling, fellowship, and prayer. But we believe a more outgoing approach is necessary.
Thousands of people die everyday. You never know who's going next. Maybe even the person you're chatting with. You may be their last hope! Jesus may come back soon. If not us, then who?

There are some advantages to the internet ministry:
1.) You have a person's complete attention, as you are on their computer's monitor
2.) It's anonymous. No reason to fear any inabillities on your part, or violent reactions on their part.
3.) It's personal. No embarrassment or ruined reputations that a new code-name can't fix!
You too can be a cybersaint! Even if you're not called to 'the ministry', you can still make a difference for Christ by just being you. We all have our gifts-- Use them to God's glory! You may be able to reach out to certain people that professional ministers may not be able to 'connect' with.
You can be as bold as you want to, as innovative as you'd like, or as passive as you wish. It is reccomended that we do as Jesus would (W.W.J.D.) in regard to our tactics, though. We at S.T.R.I.K.E. also reccomend that each believer read his/her Bible regularly.

Okay, so you're your own soul. A maverick for Jesus, of the Holy priesthood. "Why should I affiliate?", one may ask. Well, if there are groups out there dedicated to eliminating christianity, whole sites devoted to trashing evangelists, and atheist/humanist clubs popping up everywhere, then why shouldn't we believers stick together! If we fly under one banner for Jesus Christ, we can provide one solid mighty witness for God, rather than just the occassional sporadic rant from a lone believer. Solidarity is the answer, my friends! United we stand! We want you!
