Mormons Make Their Voices Heard — Digitally

The Church Newsroom has a good article about members of the Church who are using YouTube and other websites to share the Gospel.
The article includes references to MormonHunnies, the three Mormon college students who’ve shared their beliefs on YouTube, and youth in Las Vegas who recorded their testimonies at Youth Conference.

Youth in Las Vegas share beliefs in online video

Youth of the Las Vegas Nevada Redrock Stake shared their beliefs on camera at a recent Youth Conference, answering Elder Ballard’s call to share the Gospel online. The production was beautiful, and I see several good things coming of this:

Youth can tell their friends about the video and link to it from Facebook or MySpace [...]

Sharing the Gospel on YouTube

As a missionary in England, President Gordon Hinckley was known to have preached from a portable stand in Hyde Park, presumably because there were large gatherings of people there.

Make Your Influence Felt in the Digital World

On Friday, Elder Ballard spoke at BYU-Idaho graduation and, as he had done previously at BYU-Hawaii, asked graduates to get involved on the Internet:
“Every month there are 60 billion searches for information on the Internet. Many are seeking information about the Church; and while some are finding the truth, others find anti-Mormon sites that mislead [...]

Latter-day Saints are called to open their mouths and share the Good News

At an advertising conference last year, Robert Stephens said, “Advertising is a tax you pay for unremarkable thinking.” (Source: Business Week)
The implication was that if your product is good enough, people will talk about it and spread the word, and you won’t need traditional advertising. Seth Godin calls this being “remarkable” or “worth remarking about.”

Elder Russell M. Nelson recently discussed the Church’s new website about the Savior, JesusChrist.lds.org, in a short video clip on YouTube (embedded below.) He said the Internet is a medium which will help the Apostles fulfill their calling to preach the word of God throughout the entire world:
