Evangelism in a Post-literate Culture

Steve Johnson
Group VP Americas, The International Bible Society

www.ibs.org

Steve will show us how non-print media must be used to reach both the post-literate in the developed world and the illiterate in the developing world. Post-literacy is an issue that the Church must respond to so as to be perceived as relevant.  The emergence of the Internet as an outreach tool has its challenges which will be addressed in this presentation.

Steve will tell us about some of the leading indicators regarding spirituality on the Internet.  In addition, he'll be talking about practical ways that a person can use the Internet and other electronic technology to make God's Word more available to friends, family, business associates.  Finally, he'll identify some of the existing resources that people can use for effective outreach using non-traditional methods.

Steve has been involved in both personal and professional ministry most of his adult life.  Prior to joining IBS, he served more than 10 years with Compassion International.  Steve joined IBS in August of 1996 as the Director of Communications.  He was later promoted to Vice President of Communications and Development and also served as Vice President of Ministry Outreach.  Steve’s nurturing leadership style has integrated a key ministry component of IBS and positioned it for increased Kingdom effectiveness.  He and his wife Christine have four sons and reside in Colorado Springs.
