Nick Liebenberg has placed a series of posts on https://social.ttn.place/TTNPG which is in my view a very in-depth description of what is needed from us to spread the Good News through social networking.
As you can imagine, this subject is close to my heart and one I want to press onto everyone's heart. We don't all have time to be in full-time ministries, but do we use our spare time each day to reach out to others?
How do you see yourself in this as a task set out for every believer?
1. Be a Place of Belonging (Inclusion)
✅ Identify Needs: Actively listen to others—recognize their struggles, questions, or loneliness. Respond with empathy.
✅ Prioritize Needs: Offer practical help (prayer, resources, or encouragement) before sharing spiritual messages.
✅ Meet Needs: Show love through actions—answer questions, share uplifting content, or connect people with support.
2. Build Authentic Relationships
✅ Engage with Non-Believers: Reach out to those outside the faith; share your journey without pressure.
✅ Offer Identity in Messiah: Remind others they’re valued and redeemed by YHWH.
✅ Give Purpose: Encourage members to use their gifts (writing, prayer, teaching, etc.) to serve.
✅ Show Love: Comment, message, or pray for members—make them feel seen.
3. Share the Gospel Boldly
✅ Reveal Yeshua’s Power: Post testimonies, Scripture, or discussions about Messiah’s transformative love.
✅ Invite Responses: Ask open-ended questions (e.g., “How has faith changed your life?”).
Part 2: Grow & Give Back
4. Commit to Learning
✅ Study Scripture: Compare teachings shared on the platform with the Bible.
✅ Apply Knowledge: Share how you’re living out a verse or lesson.
5. Serve & Support
✅ Use Your Gifts: Volunteer to moderate, create content, or mentor new members.
✅ Give Financially: Contribute to platform costs if able (see Malachi 3:10).
✅ Encourage Others: Comment on posts, pray for requests, and celebrate victories.
Part 3: Invest in Others
6. Actively Participate
✅ Post Edifying Content: Share devotionals, prayers, or discussion topics.
✅ Guide Newcomers: Welcome them and answer questions.
✅ Pray for Members: Join prayer chains or send uplifting messages.
Part 4: Get Involved!
7. Fulfill Your Role
✅ Discover Your Gift: Ask, “How can I serve here?” (Teaching, encouraging, organizing, etc.).
✅ Take Responsibility: Don’t just observe—comment, share, and initiate conversations.
✅ Urgency: Remember—lives are at stake. Your engagement could lead someone to Messiah!
Call to Action
🔹 Today: Comment on a post with encouragement.
🔹 This Week: Share a Scripture or testimony.

“You were created to spread the Gospel—your platform needs YOU!”
