From Paul’s Letters to Digital Communication

By: Ariel Irizarry, Founder of inweb.ai and discipleship pastor

The Apostle Paul used the means available in his time to spread the gospel and build up the church. He traveled the roads of the Roman Empire, taught in

strategic cities, met in homes, and wrote letters that spanned great distances to guide and strengthen congregations.

If Paul and the early disciples were planting churches today, I am convinced that they, too, would strategically use digital tools. Not because they were trendy, but because they would seek to reach more people with the gospel and build them up as part of the body of Christ.

The message has not changed, but the means we use to communicate it have. For many years, I have served the church in various ministerial capacities, and these experiences, combined with my work as the founder of inweb.ai, have proven that digital communication is not a secondary function of the church; it is an essential part of its mission.

Jesus entrusted us with the task of spreading the gospel and making disciples (Matthew 28:16-20) and the Bible also calls us to build up and equip the body of Christ (Ephesians 4:12). How can we effectively fulfill that mission today without a digital strategy?

For a long time, churches have placed signs in front of their buildings to communicate their name, service times, and presence in the community, and if we consider it necessary to have a physical sign, we must also recognize the importance of our “digital sign” in the internet and digital communications.

Today, many people search for a church on Google, visit its website, or consult artificial intelligence tools. Every week, I meet families who visit the church where I serve because they found the church’s service schedule and information about our ministries on our website.

These experiences, along with available digital data, confirm that a website can be the first point of contact between an individual or family and a local church. Technology should not replace phone calls, visitations, or pastoral care. A digital platform organizes information and helps the church to minister to people.

The inweb.ai agency team has the privilege of supporting the Hispanic Baptist Network through their website and digital marketing services.

inweb.ai platform integrates websites, CRM, email marketing, digital forms, automation, donations and course of study platforms, and creates online communities.

We have prepared four plans with different levels of support. Each plan purchased through the current initiative will contribute a portion of its gains to the Hispanic Baptist Network.
