Connected

Digital.

A while ago, I attended a writing workshop hosted by Connected Generation (of FEBC Phils.) in partnership with the Philippine-CCC at the Student Center, Katipunan. Kuya Rei Crizaldo, author of the book Connected Ka Ba? was the speaker for the workshop. The workshop focused on "writing" and writing online materials that may be used in connecting people to Jesus in a not-so-preachy way--according to the trend, penetrating where most of the youth hang out these days: the internet.

A few weeks ago, I also became involved in the Digital Strategy ministry of CCC, for which we are looking for ways to evangelize and disciple students in campuses with no existing movements yet using digital stuff. I was challenged to be a part of it during the Student Congress 2013. Oh why, ain't I so excited about it? Praise God 'cause it's possible to lead people to Christ even through online communication.

Everything digital.

And, I decided that the workshop a while ago is a very helpful strategy for us who are involved in the digital strategy, and who are in love with writing and God at the same time.

Writing thoughts. Winning souls. Is it possible to put these two different actions into one to initiate something revolutionary? Well, as far as I know we're already starting it. And not just that, we are going to do it the digital way. Apparently, God is omnipresent, not just in our homes, churches, campuses, not just in the nations worldwide, not just in physical places where we could step on; God is present even in the virtual world. I mean I just said God is omnipresent (present EVERYWHERE AT THE SAME TIME). I praise God for His goodness that He is giving us the wisdom to make use of the shifting trends as ways to connect Him to people! :)

There had been an opportunity for us, too, to become bloggers and writers for FEBC's website: RightNow. While PCCC, on the other hand, is already starting to develop an online platform for discipleship and evangelism.

The digital way may also be a good response to the Great Commission, where we Christians are being commanded to "Go and make disciples of all nations...". Because nothing is impossible for Him.

To fellow Christians out there, those who are radical in sharing a love unfailing, and those who are passionate about Christ, and those who happen to be always "connected" online, here's an awesome chance to share the Source of it all, the Saviour, Redeemer, the Glorious King. You may not know it yet, but God may be crafting you to share His Word to all nations, and the digital strategies may be the ones fit in your hands. :) Come, join usssss!
