Share Digital Resources
The Great Commission hasn't changed, but the tools we use to fulfill it have. Sharing your faith in the digital age means meeting people where they already are: online.
By using simple apps and social media platforms, you can extend your ministry's reach, deepen relationships, and share the truth of the Gospel right from your phone or computer.
Essential Apps for Spiritual Growth and Sharing
These are powerful, free resources that can help you read, study, and share the Bible easily:
YouVersion Bible App: This is the most-used Bible app for a reason.
Study: Read or listen to the Bible in multiple translations.
Share: Easily share an encouraging verse as an image on social media or send it directly via message.
Community: Start a Group Reading Plan with a friend, which is a fantastic way to discuss Scripture daily and build accountability.
GodTools App (by Cru): If you've ever felt unsure how to explain the Gospel clearly, this app is your training partner.
Guides: It provides simple, step-by-step gospel presentations that you can walk through with a friend, guiding the conversation digitally or in person.
Confidence: It equips you with clear, memorable ways to share your faith, removing the barrier of not knowing what to say.
Jesus Film Project App: Video content is a universal language.
Witness: This app contains the full JESUS film and hundreds of short clips translated into thousands of languages.
Conversation Starter: You can share a short clip that perfectly addresses a friend's spiritual question and use the suggested discussion questions to invite conversation.
Using Social Media for Ministry
Your social media platforms—Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc.—are your personal mission field. You don't have to be a professional influencer; just be authentic and intentional.
Your Testimony: Use short video "Reels" or written posts to share your story or how God helped you through a recent struggle. This kind of vulnerability builds trust and resonance.
Encouraging Content: Share devotional insights, links to helpful Christian articles, or visually engaging Bible verse graphics (which you can create easily using free tools like Canva). Post hope, not condemnation.
Virtual Community: Use platforms like Zoom or Google Meet to host simple online Bible studies. This lowers the barrier for friends who are curious about faith but not yet ready to step inside a church building.
Ask Open-Ended Questions: Instead of just posting verses, ask questions that spark dialogue: "What's one thing you are praying for this week?" or "How do you handle stress?" This creates space for genuine interaction.
The digital world provides an incredible opportunity to fulfill the Great Commission by extending your kindness, compassion, and the life-changing message of Jesus Christ to people all over the world.
