Digital Engagement in Japan
Unlike ever before, missionaries are using social media to share the Gospel with those who do not yet know Christ.
Over 117 million, 93% of the population of Japan is using the internet for multiple hours each day. Why not share Jesus with those who are already using social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and LINE (Japanese social media app) and bring the hope of Jesus straight into the hands of those all across Japan?
How does it work? We’re so glad you asked! Social media posts asking individuals if they would like prayer in Jesus’ name, sharing Scripture or videos about the Good News as well as culturally relevant content specific to the needs of the Japanese are published online. Then individuals who are searching have the opportunity to message online responders and engage in Gospel centered conversations as well as prayer for them. Individuals can then be offered to receive additional resources about Jesus, Bibles as well as face to face connection with local Christians.
The ultimate goal is always for individuals to come to faith in Christ and then to be connected to a local body in which they can grow in their faith.
