Going "viral" was such a huge thing for social media managers and content creators. Actually, it may still be a goal that they strive for. After all, who doesn't want to hit thousands of views on content you create. However, despite the goal, going viral is not something that you can plan or predict. That is why, as Church Communicators and Digital Missionaries, the goal in sharing content should NOT be to go viral, but it is to speak the Truth that leads people down a path of discipleship.
Virtual reality (VR) world building refers to the process of creating and designing immersive 3D virtual environments that users can explore and interact with using a VR headset and controllers. These digital worlds can replicate real-world locations or construct entirely new, imaginative realms. The possibilities are endless for creating. That's what makes it a great opportunity for ministry.
