Creating a Bible-oriented web site is just one of the ways to establish an Internet ministry. If you have the skills, and a Godly motivation, you can reach thousands. But even without those skills, there are an endless number of Internet forums, chat rooms, mailing lists, etc. that one can join and help teach the Bible to others. One can often read messages for a while to learn something about the people before beginning to serve. A ministry can be as simple as sending an appropriate scripture and a personal note to someone in need, or to sending whole articles (which you can also find on the Internet) that appear to be in someone's area of interest. If you receive questions that you cannot answer, find people who can. It does not seem to be a good example to teach the Bible on forums where rules specifically forbid religious discussion—you will probably be removed for doing so. Many forums allow it, so use those.

The spiritually strong might consider venturing into groups that practice witchcraft, homosexuality, abortion, adultery, gambling, etc. Christ was not afraid to be among known sinners (Mark 2:15–17, Luke 7:39), but Paul warns us not to help people if we will hurt ourselves doing it: "Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted" (Galatians 6:1). Prayers for Godly wisdom are obviously necessary to do this. Some brethren have started by simply asking others why they do what they do—becoming their friends, then asking them if what they do is causing problems in their lives, then showing them the biblical solution. Leaving sinful environments is usually very difficult even when people are committed to do it. Former friends and employers may threaten, even harm, those who try to leave. Finding a new job and friends can be a great challenge. The power of God can overcome all these things, but it may take as much love and kindness as a Christian can give to help those involved. Like any ministry, everyone involved will gain in skill the more they serve.

Another ministry for the fearless and spiritually mature: Call "900" numbers, pay the fee to talk to them, but tell them that there is hope for them and that God can deliver them from what must be a fairly disgusting job. These 900 numbers are usually intended for talking about sex, psychics or some other sin, but the advertisements often say that they will talk about whatever the caller wants as long as they pay. This may not be a cheap ministry, but the message certainly will be heard. If the person contacted really wants help, you can give them contact information where they can reach you in off-hours. Company regulations frequently forbid these phone people from giving out any private numbers. Do not become tempted to sin! (Galatians 6:1).

This author has heard of other phone ministries that have met with varying degrees of success. Some try to teach the Bible to all of the telemarketers who call them. (One person said they never got much teaching done, but it did greatly reduce the telemarketing calls he received. Apparently, some telemarketers require their employees to press a certain button if the person called changes the subject.) Others set up an organized plan to begin dialing every number in their local phone book—or every possible number in their local telephone exchanges. They may say something simple like: "I am Jane Jones from Hometown calling to find out if there is anyone in your home who would be interested in attending a local Tuesday-night Bible study that is not connected with any church denomination." Most people hang up, say "no", or explain that they have a church, but a few usually ask questions and a very few come. The caller needs to be ready with dates, times, study topics, directions, etc.

Plan a Bible study that is open to everyone. The material can be as simple as reading through books of the Bible and commenting on them, or specific subjects can be studied. It is best to both have a subject prepared in case those attending do not wish to talk, but it is also good to spend as much time answering questions or talking about whatever those who attend want to talk about. This can be done in a church building or a rented hall—in which case it would need to be advertised. Advertising methods frequently include newspapers, radio announcements, flyers posted on bulletin boards, and sometimes word-of-mouth. One way to both advertise and reach small towns with a message is saturation mailing. A local post office will tell you the number of addresses and post office boxes to which they deliver. For $.18 each, they will deliver a letter to every one of them—you do not even need to address them. (A $125 setup and $125 annual permit fee is also required, though a business with a standard mail permit can mail for you, saving that fee.)

It is cheaper and frequently easier to encourage a few people to attend an in-home Bible study. Some people feel more comfortable in a home—they will not be asked to join anything. Other people conduct a lunchtime Bible study at their place of work or school. It is much easier to feel comfortable with people whom they already know to some degree. Bible studies can also be started in other business places as long as they are wanted by the customers and acceptable to the management. Examples are mobile home parks, large apartment complexes, retirement homes, country clubs, hotels, campgrounds, large truck stops, parks, airports and restaurants. Some of these places will develop a regular attendance. Many of the latter ones will have mostly travelers, but travelers frequently seek out a Bible study or service when they are traveling and missing the one that they normally attend.

It helps to have members from your congregation attend each study so as to greet the new people and provide interaction to the study. But if visitors are asking questions, the congregation should be quiet, letting the visitors ask and say as much as possible.

Another modern speaking opportunity occurs on radio talk programs. There are hundreds of them throughout the country—some religious, some not. A person with time to listen to the programs can call in and express a Biblical point of view to many. The guidance of God and some experience will be required to develop skill at delivering the message without offending and being "cut off".
