The Church of Pentecost Youth Director calls for digital champions

Apostle Ebenezer Hagan, Youth Director of The Church of Pentecost, has called on young Christians to aspire to become digital champions, revealing that the digital space has become a new frontier for ministry.

He emphasized that the digital space offers immense potential for Kingdom impact, and God is inviting believers to join Him in this realm.

During the Digital Champions Summit 2024, a training event for digital missionaries, Apostle Hagan defined a digital champion as someone who is proficient in technology, but most importantly, a strong Christian. These individuals understand their role as vessels through which God can bring transformation to the digital world.

He acknowledged the challenges posed by the digital space, such as misinformation, cyberbullying, and mental health issues, but assured young Christians that their familiarity with technology equips them to navigate these challenges. He encouraged them to leverage their technical skills and platforms for ministry, turning challenges into opportunities for evangelism.
