Evangelizing in Video games

[project312]

Anyone know any good ways to evangelize in video games?

I remembered reading about some players of Second Life who built their own church and holds services. I found a Web site about it right here. Looks like there are several churches in that game.

I thought I heard something about a World of Warcraft guild which also tried to use that as an evangelical outreach. But they received a lot of harassment, and I don't know if they are still trying.

I would never have thought of Second Life of all things having Christian churches. However, I suppose it makes sense because a large portion of players of Second Life do consider it to be a legitimate alternative to the real world and Jesus did say to make disciples of all nations.


I have been also wanting to use video games as tool for evangelism. I want to make a livestream (ie Twitch) for this purpose, but I decided it would be better to pursue this at a later date. Perhaps when I get a Nintendo Switch I can use it to make friends and convert them, as Jesus did say;

Here’s the lesson: Use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. Then, when your possessions are gone, they will welcome you to an eternal home. (Luke 16:9 NLT)

How you act in (online) games is a bit part of witnessing, which is the backbone of evangelizing. That's a good place to start. Being positive and filling others with the spirit helps to showcase you as a light on a hill, and people are looking for that light. From there, pointing to God is an easier step, because people are already seeking something better.
