You Too Can Be An Evangelizing Avatar in Your Second Life
One of the most astonishing communities on the web is that of Second Life.
Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents who are called "avatars". Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by a total of 7,942,532 Residents from around the globe. Second Life is the ultimate "create your own reality" experience. You can do almost anything on Second Life that you can in real life, including purchasing land.
And evangelize. Wherever the media takes a large number of people, you can be sure that evangelicals see a new mission field.
As per this article from World Gospel Mission which is creating a handbook for Christians who are members of Second Life about how to share their faith in that setting.

Thanks for this pointer, Sherry. I participate on Second Life I haven't been impressed with what's around so far in terms of identifiable faith communities, but there's certainly plenty of opportunity for what my evangelical friends would call "relationship evangelism."
