The Internet Evangelism Coalition (IEC) has initiated a worldwide focus day for Sunday, April 29, called Internet Evangelism Day 2007. This is purely a "Web evangelism awareness day", without any fund-raising elements. The purpose is to communicate the outreach potential of the web among the worldwide body of Christ. The IEC is a umbrella group of evangelical Christian ministries and individuals dedicated to developing and promoting Internet evangelism strategies. The IEC organization’s administration is based at the Billy Graham Center, Wheaton College, Illinois.

As stated on IEC's excellent page on Planning Activities for your Church or Group, "if this date does not suit your schedule, you can choose an alternate date at any time that is convenient". Our Seventh-day Adventist Internet Evangelism Day can be held the day before or on some other day or Sabbath of the year.

The coalition hopes for a range of outcomes. High on their list is that churches will create effective websites which can reach out into the community, rather than just be an online notice board for members. “It’s an exciting challenge,” says Internet Evangelism Day Coordinator Tony Whittaker. “The potential of the Web is enormous.”
