reach is a little book with a big vision: spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ online.
Laura and Angi share powerful stories about using social media in campus ministry and worldwide missions. Just the story of the way they met and came to be writing a book together is a testimony to how God can use Facebook to bring people into His kingdom!
The first part of the book shows the huge opportunity we have; the second half gives practical suggestions for ministering on everything from Facebook to Instagram. Then come the appendixes with conversation starter questions for every personality. I really appreciated the honesty and clarity with which Angi and Laura discussed the potential pitfalls and the recommended safeguards of online ministry.
No matter your comfort level with the internet, reach will give you a glimpse of the potential we have to use the world wide web to fulfill the Great Commission. The authors’ passion is contagious. Maybe you won’t feel comfortable searching Facebook for random conversations to join, but perhaps you will consider filling your Pinterest boards with Scripture. Maybe you aren’t the type to ask provoking questions, but you might post a Bible verse to your Facebook wall a bit more often when you are reminded that God’s Word does not return void.
reach is the Conversational Evangelism for the internet. reach shows believers that they don’t have to get on a plane to be a missionary—they have only to go online.

Disclaimer: I purchased my own copy of reach but the authors provided the giveaway copy.
I’ve been able to create and nurture relationships with a much wider group of people than I ever could have without the help of social media. Some of those people have met christ because of searching online and have beautiful testimonies!
This is something I believe the Lord has been laying on my heart, as I am able to be in touch with a much larger group of people via facebook and blogs than I am in my real life.
I love how the Christian blogosphere offers a symbiotic relationship between the messengers and the receivers. Developing a blogging community is encouraging to the soul and allows you to minister to others. I would love to read this book!
I think things can go much farther than just the four walls of my home. Whether it be from others to me, or the other way around.
To have the ability to reach beyond our on borders to share the gospel is a wonderful opportunity.
