4) Evangelism and Discipleship:
Digital tools offer various ways to engage in evangelism and discipleship, allowing the church to reach out to non-believers while supporting the growth of current members through online teachings, discussions, and support. Small groups meeting in homes are fantastic, but think of the connections small groups could make online – with the advantage of including members worldwide. I’ve filmed in more than 70 countries during my career, and over the last decade, nearly everyone has a mobile device, even in the world’s most remote places.
5) Adapting to Changing Times:
In a rapidly evolving digital age, investing in digital missions allows the church to remain relevant and connect with younger generations increasingly reliant on digital mediums for information and community. Rather than building brick-and-mortar outreaches – you can create resources they can easily access via a mobile device or computer. That’s why digital missions are more cost-effective and scalable than traditional methods, potentially reaching more people for a fraction of the cost.
At The Influence Lab, we believe it’s time to change the perception of Christianity and missions in today’s media-driven culture. To make that happen, we’ve mobilized a powerful global strategy to teach and train the next generation of pastors and leaders how to effectively use media to share the gospel in today’s digital age.
The three-day intensive is geared towards building up the local church while expanding their media production. It will also include creative Christian filmmakers from numerous countries across Africa. Our team will impart a big-picture vision and the knowledge and expertise to share the gospel through media with greater impact.
The Need:
We’re confident that the seeds sown for this training intensive will bear abundant fruit. A team of seasoned Christian media professionals has volunteered their time, and we’re now seeking partners to help sponsor the trip.
To make this trip possible, we’re trusting God for a $50,000 budget to send our team and help us respond to other invitations that have recently come in from other countries. We’re specifically praying for partners who can give $1,000 or more – and, of course, whatever level you can give will help make this trip a reality.
Would you prayerfully consider partnering with us today with your generous gift?
Can you help with a generous donation of $50, $100, $1000 or more? And even more, encourage your church to put The Influence Lab on their monthly missions support list.
Would you join us and support this strategy of changing how today’s Church pursues global missions? You’re probably online for a significant part of every day, so you know its power.
