Digital Evangelism Issues

Secular movies are a powerful starting point for sharing the good news.

• Michael Kosmas is a pastor in London, who uses a monthly film discussion club for outsiders to come, watch a significant film, and then discuss spiritual themes within it.
• LiveChurch run a fun outreach called At the Movies, which even includes decorating the church meeting area as, say, Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, or the Bat Cave.
• Such an approach would be hugely strategic for India, where Bollywood movies are a hugely important part of the culture. This could be either in face-to-face meetings as described above, or as online evangelism. The dramatic growth of the film-making industry in Nigeria, termed ‘Nollywood’, provides similar opportunities on that continent.
• Short movie trailers, installed on a mobile phone, are yet another conversation starter.
