Evangelizing the Digital Continent

I, as part of the billion young minds and beings setting foot in this wide world, am encouraged and obliged to become a responsible evangelizer of this generation. The miracles of God’s evident love in everyday life keep inspiring me to pass it on to others. That’s why as a young person created by God in His own image and likeness, I will fulfill my mission of converting this digital continent to Christianity by sharing my blessed experiences of God’s unconditional love through my internet accounts, by continuing to post the Message of the Lord on my email address, by implementing the moral lessons I have learned from the different Christian emails and websites on the internet and many more. I will continue to carry my meaningful mission because I believe that every little wisdom of the mind, every good will of the heart, every good proclamation of the mouth, and every good deed of the hands count in evangelizing this continent embraced by the digital world.
