Why own a social network for evangelism and the church?
- Home
- Current situation: pastors and churches often use Facebook, YouTube or Instagram to spread the gospel and build community.
- Problem: Content can get "lost" in the flood of other posts, influenced by algorithms, and subject to the changing terms of major platforms.
- Goal: Create a space where the gospel takes precedence and where you have full control over how your content is seen by people. 😇
2. Advantages of having your own social network
a) Full control over algorithms and reach
- Regular platforms: posts with spiritual content may be hidden or restricted.
- Your own network: you decide what users see. Important messages will not be lost. 🔧
b) Targeting the Christian community
- Common platforms: the community is broad, not everyone is looking for spiritual topics.
- Own network: people come with the goal of growing in faith and evangelism. ⛪️
c) Safe and values-based environment 🛡
- Common platforms: risk of inappropriate comments, extraneous advertising or content contrary to Christian values.
- Own network: you set the rules and culture of communication according to Christian values. 🙏
d) In-depth analytics and impact measurement
- Common platforms: limited ability to track people's actual engagement.
- Custom network: detailed statistics on number of participants, worship attendance, engagement in groups. 📊
e) Greater independence and stability
- Common platforms: risk of account lockout, limited reach or unilateral changes to terms and conditions.
- Own network: you are the master of your own content and settings. External changes do not put you at risk. 🚀
3. Specific activities on your own social network
- Live streaming of worship services and sermons - Instant interaction, comments and user reactions in real time. 🎥
- Online Prayer Meetings - Groups for prayer intentions and mutual support. 🤝
- Discussion Forums and Topic Groups - Sharing experiences, testimonies, analysis of Scripture. 💬

📌 Practical examples for evangelistically alive churches
A place where the Gospel spreads without barriers
✅ Regular social networks: evangelistic content may be suppressed by algorithms, deleted for "sensitive content" or restricted.
✅ On your own network: any evangelist, pastor or Christian activist is free to share the gospel without restriction. Video sermons, testimonies, evangelistic appeals - nothing is lost! 📣
Evangelization campaigns with real impact
✅ Common social networks: Unless you have paid advertising, sermons and evangelistic posts often don't reach new people.
✅ On your own network: churches can collaborate on campaigns, share posts among the community, and target people who are actively seeking God. Every story shared can change a life! ✝️🔥
Practical mission - connecting with the street, cities and missional actions
✅ Regular social networks: evangelism in cities is hard because Christian events are hard to get out to the wider public.
✅ On your own network: Christian mission teams can plan events, invite people, share testimonies and build relationships with those looking for answers. 📍 "Where is the gospel being preached on the street today?" - on this network it will be immediately clear!
Prayer Army - immediate support for revival
✅ Common social networks: Prayer groups are often scattered and impersonal.
✅ On your own network: Strong connection of prayers, instant sharing of prayer needs, and ability to see answered prayers. It's not just a list of requests - it's the power of revival that connects people around the world! 🌍🙏🔥
online discipleship - training new evangelists
✅ Common social networks: Christian content is fragmented, discipleship programs are non-existent, new believers have no clear direction.
✅ On their own network: churches can train new evangelists, lead them step-by-step, and help them grow in God. 📖✝️ dynamic discipleship journey - not dry theology, but practical preparation for mission!
