Social Media in the 21st Century: A New Way to “Follow Me”
When Jesus gave us His command to “follow me,” he obviously was not talking about his accounts on Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube. It’s hard to imagine Jesus sending a “tweet” or posting a photo of the latest happenings in Heaven–unless it’s a sketch on “Saturday Night Live.” Nevertheless, the power of social media can be a conduit for not only following Christ but sharing His love and living out his command to share the good news and serve others. In this issue, we offer you a glimpse of some of the ways Vision Africa is sharing God’s love through the power of social media. Follow us at the links below!

Summer Sun and Solar Radios
This summer we will be blessed to partner with Galcom International, a Canadian firm providing technical equipment for communicating the Gospel worldwide, in a campaign to provide solar-powered radios to homes without access to broadcasting. The radios will be distributed in November at the Vision Africa ICONs singing competition and the 20th anniversary celebration of Vision Africa radio. All the radios distributed will be hard-wired to Vision Africa radio, LOVE 104.1 FM, where God’s love is shared every day.
