Social Media Statistics

  • For context, as of July 2015, total worldwide population is 7.3 billion
  • The internet has 3.17 billion users
  • There are 2.3 billion active social media users
  • 91% of retail brands use 2 or more social media channels
  • Internet users have an average of 5.54 social media accounts
  • Social media users have risen by 176 million in the last year
  • 1 million new active mobile social users are added every day. That’s 12 each second
  • Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp handle 60 billion messages a day (Brandwatch.com –July 25, 2017)

Here are thoughts on how to approach being a witness in your social media footprints.

Connect on a personal level with striving to having a deeper conversation. Remember to “encourage publically” and to “challenge privately”

Believing the Bible (Biblical Word View) is not held by so many people. Start with your experiences in spiritual matters- then lead to the source of your convictions (Bible) as you are valued for your thoughts by the one you are seeking to influence. Your validation with your life gives credibility to the Bible.

Remember, your placement on an individual’s site/profile will convey you are in agreement to their position, practices and/or belief. “Silence Equals Consent/ Agreement,” avoid being silent-speak out in a redemptive fashion.

Develop a strategy with intentionality in your social media posts.

Reacting to posts requires maturity and prayerful thought. Remember to:

  • Respond after prayer
  • Respond/React after time
  • Quote people who you respect or reference materials that support your thoughts
  • Think of yourself as a coach – striving to help someone succeed in life and find real joy

Disciple-Making Encounters

Two encounters are critical. First, the leader encounters God in His Word and is changed. Second, the leader guides the group to have a life-changing encounter.
