How to Participate with Missionaries on Social Media

Every mission has Facebook Pages to allow full-time missionaries to reach out to their community. Missionaries are sharing uplifting stories and events. You can help share the gospel virtually through their Facebook Pages.

Here is a list of things you can do to “sweep the earth with messages filled with righteousness and truth” through social media and invite others to come unto Christ (David A. Bednar, “To Sweep the Earth as with a Flood” [speech delivered at BYU Campus Education Week, Aug. 19, 2014], ChurchofJesusChrist.org).

Create and share a video post


Coordinate with missionaries to create your video story about experiences of how the gospel of Jesus Christ has transformed your life. These faith-promoting stories are inspiring to others in their journey to come unto Christ. You can give it to the missionaries to upload on their Facebook Page if you don’t want to share it on your personal profile.
