Technology benefits the church in many ways and the internet makes it possible for people from all over to discover your ministry.  For instance, church websites are being used to spread the gospel and social media is proving to be very helpful for uniting believers through prayer.  This article highlights several reasons why it’s a great idea to put your prayer requests on Facebook and other social media platforms.

 

One way in which Christians grow in faith is by doing prayers for each other.  People of faith want to feel like they’re making a difference and typically respond to prayer requests on Facebook.  When they do, most church members no longer feel helpless but rather get a strong feeling that they’ve helped a fellow congregant.

 

It might seem like some of the prayer requests on Facebook get very little reaction from churchgoers but the truth is that many believers are out there and ready to pray for others.  Prayers create unity among believers as they work towards a common goal and this can greatly boost faith.

 

Many Christians know they should pray often but don’t, mostly because it doesn’t create any commitment.  If you want to enliven your prayer life, one effective way would be to pray for other people.  After praying for those who are part of the congregation, check to see who have posted prayer requests on Facebook.

 

A church that looks to achieve growth needs to keep members informed on how they should respond to prayer requests.  Start by reading the post and observing the comments of others then remember the responses you see from believers and employ them in the future.

While church websites and video sharing platforms like YouTube remain the best channels for spreading the gospel on the internet, social media is the most effective outlet for prayer requests to be answered.  Encourage church members to post prayer requests on Facebook as it not only improves unity among them, but it helps the ministry attract new members.
