The conference

Connecting with social media is an integral part of the Christ Embassy Ministry, which Pastor Chris Oyakhilome runs, and this year, the International Media Connectors’ Conference saw a greater participation from across the globe, as more media connectors participated online due to the travel restrictions and various challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.  

This year’s conference, which ran from the 15th till the 17th of November, was aptly themed “Empowering the Church for Global Gospel Dominance.”

Every effort was made to allow international delegates to participate in the programs, utilizing various online resources to ensure that they did not miss out on the conference. 

One of the aims of the IMMC is the concept of innovation, which is the process of translating an idea or product into a service that produces a monetary value. LoveWorld Inc., or Christ Embassy, has been leading the way with is innovative ways to spread the gospel.

The IMCC was created to guide the many participants from Christ Embassy in the best and most efficient ways of communicating with their growing online following.

The conference included lectures and workshops that all dealtwith media strategy, digital communication and social media networking.

It has been lauded for pushing Christ Embassy into the digital age and transforming evangelical Christianity into a young and tech–savvy spiritual movement for young people.

“The church must never depend on the world”

The esteemed Pastor Lanre Alabi shared some mind-blowing insights on the conference, highlighting powerful points and giving some thoughts on global dominance:

“The church must never depend on the world or be at the mercy of the world to do what God has called us to do. God does not need the world to cooperate for us to do what He has called us to do. The church will never report to man or seek the permission of the government to do what God has called us to do.”

“Do not always come from behind, but always create something new. We can do what has no parallel, which has not been done before. Do not always wait for what someone else has done for you to copy,” Pastor Lanre Alabi continued.

She went on to say, “Always be sensitive to human needs. It should be our desire to help people and as media connectors, we need to find ways to help people and to eliminate the challenges that people face. When you are sensitive to the needs of people, you will find the solutions. As a media connector, you have the initiative to make things easier and better for people and to create solutions.”

“We must believe in ourselves. We must believe that whatever comes from us is the best and believe in our products. If you believe in our products, you will use them. For the church to dominate, it must begin from the inside. Those who dominate always have the thinking that the world needs them because they have something to give. We are the ones dominating and we have something to give to the world! God is not a bad investor. When God gives you knowledge, He will demand from it. Grace is not for storage, it is to be put to work,”Pastor Lanre Alabi stated.

The Grand Finale of the International Media Connectors’ Conference 2020 was an inspiring and memorable experience.

The Esteemed Pastor Rita Ijeoma, Director of LoveWorld New Media and PastorChrisLive.org, expressed profound thanks and gratitude to media connectors for their utter commitment to the digital spread of the gospel globally.

She encouraged the participants to take all of what they hadlearned from the conference with them and be ready to do greater exploits in the new ministry year.
