Social media Impact

Social media is not just a trend that will fade away. It is an evolution that is here to stay. It will continue to grow and IMPACT and influence the way we communicate with each other. As a church and ministry, the earlier we adapt and get on this platform, the more we will reap the rewards in the future.

Social media is almost like a modern-day synagogue. We know from reading scripture that Jesus spent a lot of time in the synagogue but he was very purposeful about what He said and did. He looked for an opportunity to create change and impact those around him. Social media and online ministry can be great platforms for us to do the same thing.

Social media will continue to be a part of people’s daily lives, with smartphones and mobile devices as the driving force.

Such statistics clearly show the growing trend and reliance of people on social media, indicating a clear opportunity for social media and online ministry opportunities as a tool for reaching people worldwide In Macedonia, statistics show that 82% of the population is on the internet. And we can see that that number is increasing from year to year. Statistics according to Hootsuite show that in January 2022 Facebook have 2.91 billion users, YouTube 2.56 billion, WhatsApp 2 billion, Instagram at 1,47at billion, Wechat at 1,26 billion, and TikTok at 1 billion.

Statistics from Macedonia show that we have 1 million Facebook users and around 800 thousand Instagram users. Social media today is unrecognizable compared to the social media of the early 2000s. It’s now a place for truly connecting with others. Because of that, we need to use that powerful tool and be more and more present through different Online and Social Media ministries and reach unreached people with the Word of God.
