UNASHAMED witnesses - equipped

By the providential grace of God, the generosity of a donor, the exemplary work of the Somerset Media Group, and the faithfulness of our Media Ministry, we were able to get our new media system up and running last Sunday. We still have some things to learn and some kinks to work out, but by and large it was a great launch! My excitement about the media system is palpable. By my own account, I have been like a kid in a candy store on Christmas morning. A small part of my excitement centers around my love for technology and social media, but I am most excited about the ministry potential inherent in these new tools when used to the glory of God. Matthew’s Gospel records, “And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (28:18-20).

In his book The Connected Church, Natchi Lazarus writes: "Social media can be an important tool to help us fulfill this mission. Thanks to the Internet and social media, this generation is better equipped to fulfill the Great Commission than any other generation that ever existed. The phrase 'reaching the nations' sounds less daunting today than It did 100 years ago."

First Baptist, as we begin 2024, we are better equipped to fulfill the Great Commission. Let us go into the streets and post across social media, being UNASHAMED witnesses for Jesus Christ!

In Christ’s Love,

Pastor Donna Olivia Owusu-Ansah
