Lost In Reality

Spiritual lostness in Japan is not confined to the physical world; millions retreat into virtual reality to escape depression, loneliness, and the hardships of life. Recognizing this vast spiritual void, IMB missionaries are using digital evangelism as an entry strategy to find the lost directly inside video games and virtual chat rooms. By forming real relationships with virtual avatars, they introduce isolated individuals to the healing power of Jesus, turning hatred and addiction into gospel belief. The digital world needs the gospel—pray for these unique tools to multiply healthy churches.
