We often share insights and ideas about leveraging technology to reach people for Christ. Using the latest and greatest tools available to us can become powerful resources to share thoughts, ideas and the truth of the Gospel. One such environment which seems to be gaining momentum are Facebook Groups.
Sure, just about everyone knows about Facebook but far fewer have leveraged the influence of Facebook Groups to create Spiritual conversations and engage people with the truth of the Gospel. Facebook Groups allow any Facebook user to create a group for any specific purpose. You can check it out at:
http://www.facebook.com/groups/. There are groups that share the arts focusing on painting, music, drama and community events. There are other groups sharing interests like cars, coffee drinkers, golf, football or just about any specialized thing you can think of. Groups are created for just about anything anyone might have an interest for and they can be localized groups or international.
What about creating groups for the specific purpose of having Spiritual conversations? I can’t think of a less invasive way to begin a dialogue with those seriously interested in seeking answers and discussion. Imagine groups established for growing Christians as well as for those seeking answers about faith and God.
A couple of ideas come to mind. How about creating groups discussing one of Lee Strobel’s books like “
The Case For Faith”? This would a great resource to address common questions about belief in God. Another idea might be to take the current “
Awakening” book and 21 day challenge to create discussions on prayer, fasting and personal devotion. A third idea may be to read and discuss a Missions book like “
Through God’s Eyes” to create a dialogue about what God says about His world and the people He calls us to reach and minister with.
The possibilities are truly limitless. What ideas come to mind for you? Let’s use this medium to share ideas and leverage technology to reach people for Christ. Just about anyone can use the tools available through Facebook to connect with people anywhere!
One of my favorite books is C.S. Lewis’ short sermon called “
The Weight of Glory”. I would love to read it again and discuss it with others….care to join the discussion?
