We are living in a digital age where social media has become an integral part of our lives, especially for the younger generation. Unfortunately, for many young people in Vietnam, social media has become a platform for expressing their despair and hopelessness. The lack of support and affirmation from their parents, coupled with the societal pressure to succeed, has led to a heartbreaking crisis of youth suicide.
However, amidst this darkness, there is a beacon of hope. We met Susan about two years ago in Vietnam. She and her husband run a digital marketing company, but as a believer she also saw the potential to influence youth and young professionals. She launched a simple yet powerful outreach and is reaching an astonishing 200,000 followers on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Through bite-sized videos and visuals that capture everyday moments, she shares messages of hope and truth, reminding these young people of their inherent value and worth.
Susan's work is a testament to the power of using accessible tools to bring the light of Christ into difficult places. As she so eloquently puts it, "Everyone has their cell phone. They can do social media. They just need to give themselves a chance to learn how simple social media can be."
At Asia Pacific Media (APMedia), we are dedicated to training and equipping media missionaries like Susan across the Asia Pacific region. We believe that by empowering them with the skills to effectively utilize social media, we can reach countless hearts and lives with the transformative message of the gospel.
Today, we are asking you to join us in this mission by contributing $120, which will help us train a media missionary like Susan for a month. Your support of any amount will not only equip them with the necessary tools, but will also provide them with the resources and guidance they need to navigate the ever-changing landscape of digital media. You can partner in this effort conveniently with your one time or reoccurring gift by going to our website at apmedia.org/give or scanning the QR code below.
Together, we can be part of a movement that harnesses the power of social media to bring hope, healing, and transformation to those who are struggling. Your investment in this mission will have a ripple effect, touching lives one social media post at a time.
