Actor Jonathan Roumie who plays Jesus in The Chosen Series gave a speech he said:

For the Jubilee of Digital Missionaries - that's you - Honestly, what you're doing is incredibly important. And I'm really grateful to be able to say a few words, even from afar. As someone who's been blessed to portray Jesus in The Chosen, I've seen firsthand how a story shared online can touch a heart, soften a soul, even change a life. You're doing the same. Whether it's through a post, a reel, a comment thread, or a livestream, you're showing up in these digital spaces with the heart of Christ, not to preach at people, but to meet them, to listen, to engage, to start conversations that actually matter. So don't grow weary. Don't underestimate the power of what you're doing. This is holy ground, and your presence online, authentic, prayerful, joyful, That's part of God's plan to keep us talking about Jesus. That's what evangelization looks like today. It's not just pulpits and church walls, it's Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, blogs, all of it. And you're stepping into that world with love, creativity, and authenticity. What you're doing is mission, period. You're reaching people wherever they are, no matter what they believe or don't believe, no matter how much they understand or don't understand. And that openness, that willingness to connect without judgment, creates space for real dialogue, for moments of grace, for Christ to move in surprising ways. So keep going, keep showing up, keep being that light in the feed. You never know who's watching, or listening, or scrolling, and whose life might be changed just because you shared a little hope. God bless you. I'm praying for you all. I love you. And seriously, thank you for being out there.
