The Power of Reaching OthersSample

Day 1: The Great Commission – Reaching the World Through Technology

Scripture: Matthew 28:19-20 – "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

The command of Jesus in the Great Commission is clear: we are called to go and make disciples of all nations. In the early church, this meant travelling by foot or ship to reach distant lands, but in our time, we have an unprecedented opportunity to reach the world in a much shorter time through digital means. Today, technology has become a powerful tool in fulfilling the Great Commission. A mobile app can be a modern "missionary," carrying the message of Christ into places that physical missionaries may never be able to reach.

Think about it—billions of people worldwide have access to smartphones. Through a well-designed mobile app, you can provide Bible study materials, daily devotionals, sermons, and even prayer requests to those seeking spiritual growth. Whether they are in a bustling city or a remote village, access to God's Word is possible through a tap on their phone screen.

When we think of the global audience, the question isn't just about who is within our physical reach. It's about leveraging every available tool to spread the Good News. As disciples of Christ, we can use digital platforms to share teachings and help people encounter God meaningfully. By creating a mobile app, you are obeying Christ's call to "go" and making disciples by meeting people where they are—online and connected.

Reflection: How can you use technology to share the message of Jesus Christ more effectively in your community and beyond?
