As fully devoted followers of Christ we are mandated by Christ Himself to go and share the good news of salvation through Him alone with the lost. Sadly though, many countries are actually closing their doors to missionaries on the ground, even though statistics show more than two-million people search daily for spiritual matters online. I believe that makes Social Media and online church campuses a great way to reach those people in those countries, because they’re out there searching.
What type(s) of online tools/sites have you used to engage those in the world that are hurting, broken, hopeless, and lost? Share a story of that interaction if you you’d like.

I was looking for a simple means of reaching out to others that live outside of my immediate community to offer them my personal prayers. I started the Twitter account @LetGodBox and a Blogger account http://www.LetGodBox.com a few weeks ago to do this. I developed what I call a “Let God Box” – a “Let go, and let God” box – Which is something physical and virtual. Physical in that there truly is a LetGod Box for those mailing prayer requests; Virtual in that requests may also be submitted online. It’s a place to release your burdens and pain, knowing others care. I am honored and humbled by the prayer requests, and the responses from others have made my heart smile.
Amen!!! so true!!
