How to Grow Digital Disciples
1. Use a hashtag for the event.
2. Give concise points that are easy to remember.
3. Summarize the main thought in 140 characters or less.
4. Show short videos of specific moments or a post-interview with participant.
Cautions
Remember the purpose is to share the blessing or information with friends, not to compete or try to outdo or outshine someone else. You do not want the acknowledgement to overshadow the goal. It could become very easy for it to become a competition or a race to be noted as the church that does this and miss the reason for doing so.
“And this gospel shall be preached in all the world …” which also means digital disciples are one method to hasten the Lord’s coming.
