Harnessing the Internet to spread God’s Word

July 21, 2011

“The youth cannot afford not to be extraordinary especially in this day and age.”

I have quoted these words a number of times in this blog, which I attribute to social entrepreneurs Mark Ruiz and TJ Agulto. And the facts cannot be any clearer.

Never has humanity been more connected until the advent of the Internet, making virtually everyone in the globe reachable. So what can one do with the power that is literally just resting at their fingertips?

As a Christian, it is our duty and obligation to honor God and make disciples. This call to action is made easier by Web 2.0, the very tools that enhance interactivity amongst web users. More than two billion people are online–and it is safe to assume that more than half of that population is surfing the Web at any given time of the day.

Just imagine how far-reaching an online advocacy would be. This

With this, I propose for Churches around the world to create an Internet/Web/Online Ministry that will take charge of reaching out to unbelievers at the virtual space.

This ministry will face its own unique challenges. And as I write this blog, a number of issues is already stunting any form of enthusiasm. But I am already doing it, which is why, as you may have noticed, this blog has slowly been focusing on Christian-related themes.

The original and primary thrust of Greater Good Philippines remains, which is to spread the stories of ordinary individuals doing extraordinary things for the betterment of the community. But I offer more of this space for the glory of God.

The real challenge is how to reach the other four billion. Perhaps only in God’s time.

Guidelines International is a great case study.
