Social Media and Proclaiming Truth

7/13/2017

  • What if you could promote your ministry more effectively for less money? Even better what if you could reach people in your church with more truth every day of the week as well as the folks in your community or around the world ? You ca

  • What if this communication was inexpensive or even free? It is!
  • What if you could grow your ministry, whether a business that is involved in Christian Education, Christian Literature, Christian Camping, Christian music or as a local church with promotion that is cheaper and more direct than ever before? You can!
  • If this were all true, would that excite you?
  • Would you feel an obligation to rise to the occasion, meet the opportunity head on and deliver?
  • Would you feel negligent with the Truth if you didn't have those services and communicate with those people or promote your ministry or church through this means?
If you answered with a resounding "YES," then welcome to the world of social media for ministry.  I know you've heard of Facebook and so on, but perhaps you've not considered how vital it is to be utilizing all of this strategically and consistently.

Many folks age 45+ in ministry think of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn as complicated or for teens or for big business or maybe even as a "time waster."  The truth is that social media is where 75% of the people in your church and community are spending a lot of their time.

They are on the social sites before they get out of bed in the morning and after they go to bed at night.  They are checking Facebook or Twitter in the elevators, on the sidewalks, in their living rooms, in waiting rooms and even in the bathroom.

Social media is a great way to connect with your people, the community and the world all week long almost 24/7. It is a great way to extend your ministry, promote your ministry and communicate Bible Truth. 


If you aren't using social media to communicate truth, Please consider it.

If They Have a Social Media Strategy, Shouldn't We?

7/29/2014

If the leaders of the Catholic church are advocating social media use for Catholic outreach, shouldn't we evangelical Christians who are passionate about spreading solid Gospel truth (Christ, grace and faith alone) be engaged in a social media strategy for our ministries? 


Several years ago, Pope Benedict XVI encouraged Catholics to use the web and social media to reach others. In a video released by the Vatican on YouTube, he says in part, “So that the Church and its message continue to be present in the great “Mars Hill” of social communications as defined by John Paul II and so that it is not a stranger to those spaces where … people search for answers and meaning in their lives, you must find new ways to spread voices and images of hope through the ever-evolving communications system that surrounds our planet.”  Pope Francis has recently said much the same as recorded in this article from the National Journal. 

Due to this from the Pope, the Vatican added a YouTube account, a personal Facebook page for Pope Benedict then, and for Pope Francis now, an iPhone app, and a Facebook app. Outside of the Vatican, many of those in the Church have heard the "call" from the Pope and started blogging and creating other online resources like Open Source Catholic. 

If the Catholics have aggressively pursued the use of social media, smartphone apps, mobile internet access, and so on, shouldn't we be doing the same in order to reach people "where they are" with Biblical Gospel truth?

Too many of us have continued to only use old outreach options such as “door to door”, newspaper ads, radio spots, phone calling, or postcards. Not that these are wrong, but if they are effective, they are also expensive, require a lot of effort and/or often annoy as many people or more than they reach. 

Why should we use social media and the internet to help people find our church, school, ministry, and the Truth itself?  Well, because that is where people look for information – the information highway. 


People are on the internet and specifically on social media - throughout the day, everyday. We can reach them in their homes, waiting rooms, buses, airports, taxis, etc. with the true Gospel message of salvation through Christ faith and grace alone.

Is your ministry involved in this outreach medium? Is your ministry part of the conversation in social media. Can those who are using social media to find answers, truth, and local help find you? If not, don’t miss the opportunity. Get involved today. Put a strategy together and use this mostly FREE and highly highly utilized communication channel to expand your reach.
