There has been lots of hype around web 2.0 and how the internet has changed. Google bought youtube for over a billion dollars? Why was that? You would think google had it sewn up right? Wrong, the way people used the internet has changed. Over half of the content on the web is now video, and that is largely dominated by users posting their own.
Web 2.0 for the Christian world is massive. The internet has changed in such a way that internet users want to connect, discuss and use the internet to learn and put their own point of view across. The Christian community can use web 2.0 to engage with a lost and dying world. The most popular websites on the planet are youtube, facebook, and myspace. There are common misconceptions that these are only for spotty kids that may be branded as geeks. This is wrong. All ages groups now use these sites and they are prime places to spread the Christian message in a relevant manner.
I have been using facebook, myspace and youtube to drive daft amounts of traffic to my site. Churches and Christian para organisations can do the same.
So I urge the Christian community to embrace web 2.0 engage it and use it. If you are unsure and need help then I would love to add value.

Welcome, I always like to share a little about me. My name is Steve Prescott, I am 29 years young, I live in Bolton in the UK. I am the founder and author of igniteyourministry.com.
I have set up this site to share, teach and learn from other online marketers in the Christian world. I have been marketing online for the last decade but only over the last 3 years I have really seen massive growth online in the secular market. More about that shortly, a bit about me first.
I am Steve, I have been a reborn christian for 3 1/2 years now and my life has been turned around. I am now studying at Nazarene Theological College in Manchester, England training to become a Pastor. I am part of a church called Kings Church Bolton and is part of the Assemblies of God denomination.
I have a beautiful daughter called Stephanie whom is 7 this year and is growing into an a brilliant young lady. I have learnt from some of the best online marketers in the business and feel compelled to share what I have learned to the Christian community to build local church, and Christian para-organistaions, which in turn will build the Kingdom of God. Some of this information will be free, other courses will have a cost.
Read the vision statement on how I can help.


Steve has been working in online marketing for the last 10 years. Since becoming a Christian 3 years ago his heart changed from making money to building the Kingdom of God and a vision was birthed to create a series of training courses to aid the church and Christian para-organisations
