As mentioned on the main page , there are many advantages to witnessing to others on the internet. That also means that ministering in a chat environment is a little different than ministering in real life.
People are more contraversial, because there is no fear of physical backlash.
People are prone to bend the truth, as there is little to no way to verify if they are telling lies or not. And people tend to eavesdrop more, as is common in most public chats. So, needless to say, one must be very careful in creating an approach to minister to those in chat rooms. Web Evangelism, a ministry similar to S.T.R.I.K.E. in many respects, has a very in-depth site for those who would like more information on how to apply yourself for Christ on the internet. It helps to be accountable to another believer in the same chat room.
