(dah-KAR) – “Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages . . .” (Daniel 6:25 ESV). How do you reach millions of lost souls with only a handful of workers? One way is to use social media for digital engagement. A team of workers in Dakar have begun to learn and use social media to harness the internet for the kingdom of God. Their first online campaign was launched recently. It was a great start! Two ads were run, one in French (the official language) and the other in Wolof (a local language). Counting results for both, there were over 170,000 views, more than 1,700 reactions, 50-plus saves, and 11 “followers,” as well as 16 comments each for the two ads. Some good digital “conversations” were begun, which, it is hoped, will bear fruit. God’s Word does not return void. The workers write: “Please join us in praying for millions to hear the gospel, understand it, believe it, and accept Christ as their Lord and Savior. Pray for wisdom in responding to digital engagement. Pray for sincere, face-to-face meetings with those whom the Spirit is drawing.”
