Remember, when you hit buttons like “share, submit or send” online, you are actually leaving a digital breadcrumb throughout the internet. Search engines aggregate those breadcrumbs into search results. Those search results represent your digital footprint.

Bottom Line: Every single thing you do online (when you leave digital data), incrementally advances your ministry and expands your digital footprint.

So, view your online activities as another ministry channel and pour yourself into others. Along the way, your platform will grow.
