As a Digital Missionary there are lots of ways you can engage people. You can create videos, do blog posts, utilize hashtags to talk with others, play video games, share your conversion story, and countless other ways. And while many of these ways are very simple to do, the thought of being a “missionary” can sometimes be overwhelming to others, even if it is simply using platforms they are already familiar with like Facebook, YouTube or Instagram.
One of those ways is to simply ask questions. Watch this video, listen to the podcast or see the 3 points below.
Here are 3 questions to ask on social media as a Digital Missionary to engage others and begin conversations to can help you lead others to Christ.
- How can I pray for you? I do this every week to ten days as I ask on Twitter and Facebook and I am always amazed at the responses I get. I always ask people to either comment below their requests or direct message me.
- What is something good that has happened in your life? Social media is so toxic. It is hurtful and degrading. People need hope. They need encouragement. They need to share something good with someone else.
- Will you come to Church with me today (or the weekend)? This is probably the most forward of the three but how will anyone new ever go to Church if they aren’t asked. You can invite them to attend in person, online or through a house watch party.
All these questions start conversations.
