In its announcement Wednesday, CCC’s Global Media Outreach (GMO) reported that 1,030,581 people indicated either a first-time decision to follow Jesus or a decision to recommit their life to Christ through one of more than 90 GMO-hosted Gospel Web sites in June.
"This is an historic event only possible by God's power," said GMO founder and chair Walt Wilson. "Over the past few months, we have seen an increasing number of people come to our evangelistic web and mobile sites."
Since its inception in 2004, GMO has seen the number of people making commitments to Christ grow from 21,066 people annually to more than 3 million people in 2008. For this year, the ministry had projected around 5 million decisions. In the first six months of 2009, it has already recorded 4.1 million.
The demand is so high these days that GMO has had to enlist the support from Northland, A Church Distributed, one of Florida's most prominent megachurches, to recruit and train 5,000 online missionaries by 2010. Even with the added support, the ministry admits it needs about 10,000 to meet the demand – 7,000 more than they currently have.
On an average day, sites like Jesus2020.com get 150,000 visitors, and about 25,000 of them click a button to say they want to learn more. Of those, about 5,000 a day fill in a form so an online missionary can contact them via e-mail.
In the first six months of this year alone, GMO’s 91 websites have drawn over 22.7 million visitors, prompted over 5.6 million Gospel inquiries, and led to over 800,000 e-mail being sent."
