I recently visited with Jamey Houghton, the Senior Pastor of the McDonald Road Church. We talked about the evangelism needs and plans for their community. In the course of our conversation, Pastor Jamey shared with me the following story about his fascinating ministry:
"Over the last three years, I have been uploading a weekly bible study on my bible study channel on YouTube in addition to YouTube shorts. In those three years, I’ve connected with over a half million people online studying bible truth. With the advancement of Artificial Intelligence, I have started creating Bible study content in various languages. We will have studies coming up in Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Italian, and German. To start, I decided to do a Three Angels Messages mini-series in Italian. I boosted the videos and had 80,000 people in Italy join me for a study in Italian of the Three Angels Messages! Thanks to AI, languages no longer hinder sharing the gospel.
Before I started this channel, I had just been dreaming about doing it. I was talking to a close friend and telling him about my plans. He said, “Why haven’t you started yet?” I said, “Well, I’ve been really busy with my church and family. I haven’t had time.” He responded, “Is that what you will tell God someday? That you were too busy to do evangelism?” I started the channel two weeks later and have never stopped creating bible study content. My church members use these videos to share with family members and friends and review Bible topics for themselves. We have business cards with QR codes to the channel that church members pass out like GLOW Tracts. Now, I am launching the international bible study channel, hoping to reach at least 100,000 people this coming year with Bible truths in their own language around the world!
