If your church is looking for ways to share the gospel online — or you want to grow more confident in personal evangelism — CV (Christian Vision) has built one of the largest free resource libraries in the space.^1
Founded in 1988 by British businessman Lord Robert Edmiston, CV is a registered UK charity (No. 1031031) with over 350 team members working across four global functions: Mission, People, Finance and Governance, and Technology.^2 Their mission is straightforward: introduce people to Jesus and equip the Church to do the same. From shortwave radio in the 1990s to AI-driven digital outreach today, CV has consistently pioneered new evangelism methods at each technological frontier — and their online campaigns have now reached more than 1.5 billion people worldwide.^3
Their flagship initiative, yesHEis, is a free mobile app (iOS and Android) that gives believers practical tools, step-by-step training, and shareable video content for everyday evangelism.^4 The platform includes a live world map of global evangelistic activity, a "My People" feature for tracking faith conversations, and bite-sized courses on topics like social media evangelism and empathetic witnessing.^5 CV also hosts DigitalDay, an annual London event that brings together technologists, church leaders, and missions practitioners to explore the intersection of faith and emerging tech.^6
CV's Pioneers program deploys native mission workers who are deeply embedded in the cultures and subcultures they serve. One Pioneer, Pastor Yabe — a former Yakuza member who came to faith while serving a 10-year prison sentence — now leads people to Jesus across Japan through surfing ministry, café outreach, and technology.^7 His story emerged from Future Now: Tokyo, a CV event that inspired attendees to launch their own independently organized Crossings 26 gathering less than a year later — a model of sustainable, locally-driven evangelism.^7
CV's newest frontier is Digital Mission Fields, a coordinated effort to reach people with the gospel inside online gaming communities. In April 2026, CV reported that someone gave their life to Jesus during a live in-game interaction on their Discord server — the first known conversion through real-time in-game evangelism.^8 Managing Director Heinz Oldewage told Evangelical Focus: "We need a coordinated, scalable missional response that recognises these spaces as genuine mission fields."^8
At the 2025 World Evangelical Alliance General Assembly in Seoul, Lord Robert and Lady Tracie Edmiston presented CV's vision for digital evangelism, describing how mobile technology has made it possible to reach communities once accessible only on foot. "How blessed is the finger that presses the button that sends good news," Lord Robert told the assembly.^3
Why Christians Love It"This app is a great way to keep track of my personal evangelism efforts! I also love all the training I can get right on the app. And it's so motivational to see how many people are using it around the world."^4
"It's designed so well and really encouraged you in this area that's often neglected by Christians. It helps remind me that even if it didn't go exactly as I planned, the seed was planted and I learn to trust God just a little bit more."^9
