Individuals throughout Latin America who seek answers to common issues of today now have a new online resource available. Lutheran Hour Ministries launched vivenciar.net April 4 during a ceremony at the LHM-Brazil ministry center in Sao Paulo.
Much like LHM's new THRED project in the United States, the purpose of vivenciar.net is to reach out and digitally connect to the non-believer and non-Christian populations by sharing information about issues that are of concern to them. Once visitors arrive at the website, they are invited to look deeper into their selected topic, which may include marriage and family, anxiety, loneliness, relationships, online pornography, and much more.
"We are hoping that this project opens up opportunities to start an online relationship in Spanish and Portuguese between visitors and the trained volunteers from our ministry centers in Latin America," says Rev. Nilo Figur, LHM's regional director for Latin America. "By sharing messages of hope with the millions of people immersed in an increasingly virtual world, we can provide answers and the peace that can only be found in Jesus Christ, the One who is the Way, the Truth and the Life."
Vivenciar.net has a potential reach of 650 million people throughout 10 Latin American countries. Individuals will be brought to the website using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, WhatsApp, Pinterest, Snapchat, and other online tools, as well as newspaper and radio advertisements.
