How to Evangelise in the Digital Age

If Jesus were born in our digital age, I believe He would fully embrace digital technologies to share the Good News and make disciples of all social media platforms!

Here're 3 key social media digital statistics as of July 2020:

  • More than half the world population (7.8 billion) are active social media users
  • The top 5 social media platforms are Facebook, Youtube, WhatsApp, WeChat & Instagram
  • Users spend an average of 2 hours & 22 minutes daily on social media platforms

Hence, it's high time for us unleash the power of the Gospel in social media and here's how I have been evangelising digitally for your reference:

Divine Preaching

I must confess I could not remember much from Sr Faustia’s talk at the Divine Mercy Shrine in Krakow, Poland. Earlier in the morning of 12 June 2018, we were totally wasted at the WieliczkaSalt Mine and after lunch, we were only thinking of Divine Sleep… However, Sr Faustia continued to speak with love and conviction despite seeing many of us “nodding”. Throughout our brief encounter with her, her divine smile never left her and I could feel it reaching to the very depths of my being with an incredible joy that is definitely unearthly. Sr Faustia attributed her amazing life to the Diary of St Faustina and I wasted no time in getting a copy from the bookstore and started reading it. I am still reading it but I am already inspired with the first few chapters, so I highly recommend it to everyone who wishes to grow in holiness and joy. In our modern world of distractions and digital deluge, we really don’t need more eloquent speeches or articles – Sr Faustia showed

Come And See - "The Chosen" Jesus TV Series

It has been a long while since I last binge-watched any series because I really need my beauty sleep but I gave it all up for " The Chosen ": Rated a super impressive 100% by RottenTomatoes and 9.7 by IMDb , this unique crowdfunded TV series has 158 million views to date (and still increasing every second!). What I love about it is its ability to bring stories and characters in the Gospels to life in a way that is not preachy yet relates to us personally, reaching the very depths of the human heart; you cannot watch The Chosen without being transformed internally! In addition, it aims to be historically and theologically accurate as the creators of the show brought in a Catholic priest, a Jewish rabbi, and an evangelical scholar as consultants! Its portrayal of Jesus is refreshingly touching because it shows us the humanness of God; His human needs, compassion, limitations, kindness, love and most surprising of all: His great sense of humour! Yes, you heard me right: Jes

A Diary of Divine Mercy

Known as the second most important book in the world after the Bible, St Faustina 's Diary has allowed us intimate glimpses of the very heart of Jesus who wanted very much to bestow his mercy to us all but sadly, many of us are simply not aware or not interested.  From age 7, St Faustina started to have deep experiences of God and Jesus appeared to her often till her death at age 33. Her diary captures her conversations with Jesus who yearned for souls to turn to His Mercy for salvation. You can freely download the PDF of her diary here . In my pilgrimage to Western Europe in 2018, I had the privilege of visiting the Divine Mercy Shrine at Krakow and I had such a powerful experience there that I immediately bought St Faustina's Diary to learn more about Divine Mercy ! Here're some of my favourite entries of her diary which would give you a good idea of its power to transform our lives: 47 In the evening, when I was in my cell, I saw the Lord Jesus clothed in a white garm
