Popular Digital Platform Reaches Millions
by CHAD FIX
More people than ever are searching the internet for guidance on topics like stress, anxiety, depression, fear, suicide, and other issues. Vivenciar.net has been an instrumental digital platform for LHM to reach Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking individuals seeking information on topics like this since its launch in 2017. Vivenciar.net offers relevant content to help people through downloadable e-books, topical videos, and an opportunity to talk to a team of volunteers throughout Latin America and in the United States.
A young woman from Panama who has trouble interacting with others recently connected with volunteers through the platform because she wanted to chat with someone about how she feels. She says people describe her as “weird,” but she has never examined why she allows herself to be treated poorly. After a period of time, the volunteers began to help her reconsider the intrapersonal relationships she has and introduced her to the Word of God as a key source of understanding, forgiveness, and new life.
Over the past six years, stories like this have been common among the more than 1.5 million visitors to the website from 85 countries who have explored a diverse range of content covering 28 topics. The platform has facilitated meaningful interactions with 6,100 individuals who started an ongoing conversation with volunteers. In addition, Vivenciar.net reached 2.8 million people during just the last year through its presence on Facebook and Instagram. These accomplishments inspire our Latin America staff to continue bringing the message of Jesus’ love and salvation to hurting people through digital strategies. u
