Be a Digital Witness for Jesus

Interested in having this shared as a presentation or workshop for your organization?

Description: As Christians we are called to tell others about Christ and how he is active in our lives. As 21st century Christians, we should be "digital witnesses" for Jesus. In this chapel message, we'll reflect on the power of Christian testimony, view examples of Christian Digital Storytelling, and learn how we can use the power of YouTube as well as social media to share our stories about Jesus with others in our community and around the world.
