Post by guest blogger Derek Vance. Derek Vance is currently on his second Summer Project with Keynote. He is a senior at Brown University, where he studies Public Policy and Religion.
Nearly everyone who has a presence on the internet has some kind of exposure to social media. This creates a unique opportunity to share the gospel because its reach is nearly limitless. Because of this, Keynote is actively developing strategies to use social media as an effective tool for doing just that.
As one of the goals of the Keynote Summer Project is for students to develop an assortment of ways in which we can share the gospel, we spent some time last week learning how to use social media to do so. Last Friday evening, we were given the opportunity to participate in a Facebook outreach, in which we were challenged to select ten of our Facebook friends to try to engage with spiritually. By following the plan outlined in The Innerview, we were able to learn a strategy that can be followed in future online encounters with our non-believing friends. As a result of this outreach, several Summer Project students were able to engage in spiritual conversations with their friends in a way that was both conversational and non-confrontational through the internet and social media.
Here are three valuable online resources to help you share the gospel through the internet:
