A:
One of the best ways we can reach our family today, is through social media. It doesnt have to be hoping they see something on the platform, you can actually create a video and send them a link to it.
Even if you are introvert or shy, you can do this. 💪🙂
"I just posted this, and am sharing this with [the family/my good friends/etc]. Let me know if you have questions. Link here."
How to go about making this.
1. Make sure you include the gospel in the testimony.
2. Tips/suggestions below
3. Pray. Pray over the video after you finalize it. Pray it reaches everyone posdible from family, to friends, (friends of friends) coworkers to people you witness with in life, and others who find it by God's gudance online.
Pick a place to record your testimony:
a nice zoom background type thing
a nice looking spot in your home or garden
a nice scenery outside? >bring a shade someone can hold to keep sun out your face if outdoors
The video planning
Try not to go over 5 or 7 minutes. But 10 min is ok. But do a summary version (dont go into long story or sin details etc). Best way is to audio record yourself as a draft, then type it up, then edit it, and finalize the wording. Sit on it overnight and ensure it is the final.
Then go record it.
Add photos to video where you can, and ideas to make it look nice overall. Get help of a person in church or among friends who can help you create this overall video. make changes & finalize.
Decide what to name the video.
Decide to upload on several places, youtube, Godtube, etc. And back up your original video on googledrive or a cloud service, (cuz computers and sdcards crash).
Research for video
& maybe make another one a bit more like this this one, you could ask your pastor to record some of the bits, and cut them into the video.
To start you could say " Have you wondered why someone becomes a Christian? And how importantbit is that each person knows Jesus as Savior? I want to share my testimony with you today." And go into it.
and in each video, at the end, ask the viewers "have you ever saw need for Jesus, or actually understood the gospel? Pop over to needGod.com, look at and take the good person test. If you have questions i would be glad to discuss over lunch, after work, or after church. We can meet up, or you call or text me anytime."
And put the video on youtube, on public, post on fb and text the link to the ones you really want to see this today.
You could link it in the video description the needGod.com link too, and a link to GotQuestions.com
And "if we know each other or meet irl in normal circles, and you have a question, dont hesitate to chat with me. I am also available for confidential prayers."
You can def use the video to share gospel in a personal way online, with those you know, Christians and others.
I also suggest you take short ticktok style clips from the video, or make a few short ones at the time of video shooting (plan the clips out), so you could use them as teasers online on platforms, or to post on facebook around Easter, Christmas and New Years, to get them to go to the link to full video.
Here is a diff kind of teaser example for ticktok style

You could make stuff like that too, and link to a book from a reputable place like his, or gracebooks.com.
Not everyone is online and those who are dont see every posts on/from your social media page. So you can use other ways to get them to go look at it, as well....
For coworkers/or anyone you could say, "I was thinking of you the other day and wasnt sure if you saw it, but did you see the video i posted?" [You dont need to talk about how long ago you posted it. If they say no i didnt see it 🤔. You could say, "i know people are busy and occasionally online. I'll shoot it over to you later. Let me know what you think." Then put it in a text, and send it over about the time you think they get home + 10 minutes, and hopefully theyll look at it.
Dont bring it up unless they do. And if anyone who views the videos, asks you questions, answer if you do but if you dont, you can say "good Q thats something I will be happy to help with", and drop them a gotquestions.org link or SNSAnswers answer link by email or text.
Hope this helps 😊
