10 Things Your Ministry Can Do In 140 Characters

Twitter changed the world with just 140 characters.  And, in a space where every single character counts, it can be a challenge for ministries to reach their congregations while continuing to evangelize to others.  While a face-to-face sermon offers the ability to provide details and context, it seems that 140 characters online just doesn’t cut it sometimes.

How can your ministry use Twitter to spread the word of Christ? Take a look at these 10 tweets, and this is just the start:

Invite someone to Church or a Bible study.
Link to articles that will encourage growth in godliness.
Tweet a short prayer or passage of Scripture.
Tweet lyrics from Christian hymns and songs.
Tweet a short salvation prayer or a link to your salvation page.
Tweet to tell someone that Jesus loves them.
Host a Twitter Chat for a small group.
Tweet about updates within the congregation and upcoming Ministry events.  Encourage church members to sign-up and bring their family and friends.
Tweet information, such as article links, videos or websites, which reinforces the topic of recent sermons.
Encourage people to share their testimonial and how they are growing in the Christian life.

It may be challenging to write a tweet, but if you do, your ministry could convert someone to the love of Jesus Christ—140 characters at a time.
