This document discusses how the church can use social media and technology to spread the gospel message to more people globally. It notes that while only 20% of millennials regularly attend church, 90% use social media daily, so churches should leverage platforms like websites and social media in interactive ways. By doing so, technology allows the church message to reach those who cannot attend in person due to work schedules, distance, or illness.
