STEP 2 |  Share Your Story

We encourage you to share your story with your friends and family both in-person and online.

SOCIAL MEDIA:
If we each share our ‘selfie’ video stories on our own personal social media accounts, together we will reach thousands of people across Birmingham and beyond. After you record your story you will have the option to download your video; simply then share on the platform(s) you use.  Otherwise, after you record your video we will let you know how to share directly from the Riverside social media accounts.

STORIES LIBRARY:
Otherwise, you can simple share all the vidoes with your friends and family via our central stories video library.

Why Social Media?

By sharing your video story on your own social media account(s) it is likley that your friends and family will see it. Most people in the UK are on social media for 2.5hours per day. Further, most people prefer short-form video content and the main reason for having an account is for ‘keeping in touch with friends and family’.

Prayerfully sharing your story on social media therefore holds HUGE opportunities to trigger conversations about your faith with your friends and family.

We want to be prepared for any opportunity to share our faith, and that comes with prayer and studying God's Word daily, before the opportunity presents itself. So how do we get prepared and find the courage to share our faith? God has not called us to be timid people, but imitators of Christ.

1 Corinthians 11:1

“The devil will try to discourage you, to divert you; he will seek to dilute your testimony; he will attempt anything to destroy your relationship to Christ and your influence upon others".

Billy Graham

“Blessings are released when you testify of the goodness of the Lord. What are you grateful to God for? Share your testimony".
