The advent of social media has made the world indeed a global village. It has made communication fast, easier and cheaper. It offers a great opportunity to reach more people with the gospel at more than any other means. In this chapter, we will focus on five social media platforms that can help us to reach people with the gospel message. These platforms have been selected because of the capacity they possess for effective outreach if properly utilized. I will be sharing tips that will help you to be able to leverage on these platforms for advancing the gospel of Jesus Christ on the Internet.
Facebook
1. Be intentional about your posts. Take out time before posting on Facebook. Make them thorough and error-free and pray about them. It could be a silent and short prayer from your heart to the Lord.
2. Engage people (Share, comment, like and join)
3. Use infographics. It gets people’s attention. The saying is true that “A picture is a thousand words”.
4. Create groups and pages with the intention of building community and reaching people. Build community by discussing issues, asking questions and holding live events that border on the specific subjects you have selected to talk about.
5. Use the feature: Add a story
6. Promote your blog on Facebook (Use your groups and your profile). You can also link both together.
7. Make your posts to be visible to everyone.
8. Initiate one-on-one chats with people as you deem fit. Interact with friends on Facebook and preach the gospel to them. Chatting can also help in following up on new converts.
9. Use Facebook live to project a video of your compiled Christian short lines. You can also use it to launch your eBook.
10. Host a watch party with clips of gospel content.
