Taking back TikTok  for the gospel

Church leader David Sims is taking back ground for the gospel on social media – sending Bibles to strangers and seeing people find faith.

“We’ve got to reclaim this back for the Lord,” said the Walsall minister, who hosts live TikTok church on the platform each week. “I think we should be using it and take every opportunity to give reason for the hope that we have.”

Sims, who began evangelising on social media three years ago, has amassed 17,000 followers and interacts with about 100 people in his “Ask me anything” videos which address common questions about Christianity.
