Faith is a beautiful thing, isn't it? For those of us who are on fire with God's love, it is only natural that we would want to reach out to others and bring them closer to the truth. So many poets, musicians and authors do so everyday in their own way. If faith is the core of your existence, then I hope you are as excited as me about sharing it!

The time to be active is now.

There is a stronger need now than ever before in our increasingly hungry world. Outreach and evangelism are an essential part of our faith; and now that we have web technology we have an even greater reach. Social media is built on communicating and networking with others that share common interests. So let's get to it!

1. Communicate with Enthusiasm. Becoming part of social networks is fun! Real people all around the world are communicating with each other with the click of a button. That is amazing! This article can and will reach people globally! This has never been possible in the past. We are living in an exciting era. Take time to research topics that interest you personally. Communicate with others, get active in online communities.
2. Don't Dictate. Sharing faith online should be informational and inspirational. No one likes to feel like their faith is under attack. No one likes to feel threatened or judged. So rather than sharing comments that may come across offensive, or seem that you are talking at people, try to lead by example. Share positive messages about how your life has been changed by your faith.
3. Look and Listen. There are many people out there who are genuinely confused about their faith. Take the time to notice a need and uncover what kind of insight you can offer. There may be millions of people online, but don't forget there is a person behind the computer. And sharing the good news of Jesus Christ in this informal setting can be just as effective as being in person.
4. Get Informed. The Internet is a sea of information. You can pretty much Google anything and find an answer with a couple clicks. Not all sources will be credible but it's no excuse to label the Internet as evil. The Internet and the social media are tools. Tools that, when used right, change people's lives. Be smart about finding credible sources, following online leaders that are genuine.
5. Tell your story. There are people all over this world that are searching for meaning in their lives, searching for the truth and for answers. Ironically the world is also full of clutter, noise and messages everywhere we turn. If faith is what gets you out of bed in the morning, share your story! If faith is what rescued you from a life that was heading down a dark path, then tell people! Share your story, we all have stories. Let's learn from one another! What is your story?
