Starting your own SMM "Social Media NETwork Ministry"
On this page, we have 5 Platforms EACH with Instructions
For the most part, Social Media is concerned about gaining a following for yourself. As brides, as believers, we know only ONE who should be followed.
“Then Jesus said to His disciples, ‘If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake shall find it.’ ”
Most of us lost our lives, had the lives we knew stolen from us, but by following Him, we discovered and began to live The Abundant Life.
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have [life] abundantly."
Now it's time to gain a following for Him!
“And then He told them, ‘Go into all the world and share the Good News to everyone.’” "So wherever you go in the world, tell everyone the Good News." If you have LET GO of Social Media, then He is ready to work with you and through you to reach out to women.
~ Lota in Miami, Florida. I confess that when I was asked to create SMM, I was a little frightened just because I had let that area of my life go, and in my case, I didn't initially let go of SM right away thinking I could handle it. Then I had a very difficult situation occur where I knew I had to disconnect and let it go. I remember our first Español SMM meeting and before we even started I prayed for His guidance and mighty hand upon each of us as we started this new venture and it has been exciting and peaceful since then.
If you haven't yet let go and fasted Facebook yet (and other social media), please invest this time into your Restoration Journey. Then reemerge using your new BNN Facebook account!
Course 2 C2 Day 1 “Fasting Facebook"
Spiritual Milestone #3: Fasting Facebook
Building a bridge to help women follow Him means going to where they are currently hanging around. Women at the well who are dying of thirst and need to be washed with the water of His Word.
“The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost.”
Platforms: Knowing Where to Fish
“The Lord said to them, ‘Come with Me. I’ll make a new kind of fisherman out of you. I’ll show you how to catch men and women instead of perch and bass.’ They didn’t ask questions, but simply dropped their nets and followed.”
God is not asking you to start a ministry from scratch. Simply become an Encouraging Women Member then start by joining one of our many Fellowship on Zoom encouraging like-minded women, like you, from around the world—and seeing just how encouraging fellowships are done!
Then follow the steps we took, take His hand, and together do start your own fellowship too!
Platform #1Telegram
Be sure to use your BNN and Radiant Picture when setting up this platform and account!
Telegram is the perfect quick platform for staying in touch with women around the world. Admins are given the privilege of sharing voice notes and promises posted to encourage women who desire to enhance their lives by learning more about their journey, discovering wisdom, and finding an abundant life.
Telegram uses your cell phone number so it will alert your contacts to let them know you are using Telegram. So in order to remain discreet and allow you to be fully transparent—free to share your heart with us and ours with you—you will need to ASK HIM to help you get a NEW BNN Phone number.
- Most countries have this available in different apps (just to set up Telegram), some brides simply purchase a SIM card (again, just to set Telegram up).
- The easiest app is Google Voice. If that doesn't work, then simply purchase a SIM card.
- Just be sure you use your BNN information when setting up both of these.
- WITH your new phone number, simply update your USERNAME on Telegram to your BNN.
https://t.me/BNN+SURNAME- Here are more instructions on Telegram.
Telegram can also be used to send the invitation to an upcoming Zoom Fellowship Meeting allowing women to come and join you! PLEASE download the Telegram app and be sure to use your BNN to join our Zoom Fellowship Meeting and send the Zoom link to join the fellowship.
To enhance the benefits, with each new member, Ground Rules (founded on the Rock) are shared— building your platform on the Rock!
“Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.” “ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where He Himself was about to go."

5 steps to Become a Bridge Builder
Platform #2Zoom
"Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.” Philippians 2:1-4
"They spent their time in learning from the apostles, taking part in the fellowship, and sharing in the fellowship meals and the prayers." Acts 2:42
Using the Zoom platform for fellowship is ideal for getting together with women worldwide, meeting them in their own homes for the same Encouragement. Encouraging Women is coming together by starting each meeting with PRAISE and Thanksgiving—taking turns to share a Promise and also a Praise. Then sharing Answers to prayers!
HERE is some Zoom information for Mac users and more Zoom information for all users.
“Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him, bless His name.” Psalm 100:4

When more than 2 gather, the meetings are automatically limited to just 40 minutes, which is the perfect amount of time for everyone to share what God has been doing in their lives and specifically how their Heavenly Husband is all they want, all they need, and all they live for.
“For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.” Matthew 18:20
Our Ministers work with their Ministry Task Partners taking turns acting as the Hostess (who sends invitations, starts the meeting, greets the women coming in, and also records the meeting for women who are unable to attend) with the other as the lead minister—following the Lord's leading for where He wants the meeting to go.
“Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father Who is in heaven." Matthew 18:19

Platform #3
Laying a foundation for your ministry is important.
Becoming a minister means being an encouraging woman where PRAISE and THANKSGIVING is an intricate part of your life! Reading and submitting Praise Reports, along with pouring your heart into journals from the courses you're taking, which focus on building the bridge for women to easily follow behind is paramount to a fruitful ministry.
Whether or not your praise report or your journals is used on the Encourager blog—each and every one of your praise reports and your journals can be posted on one of your other platforms with a link to the course—thus Building a Bridge allowing women the opportunity to go to the source.
*We only ask that you wait 7 days to see if you hear from us letting you know your praise report or journal has been selected. If it is, we ask you to wait until you see it posted before sharing it on any of your Social Media Ministry platforms.
“And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers.” Psalm 1:3
"Blessed is the man who trusts the Lord and whose trust IS the Lord. For He will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; but its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought Nor cease to yield fruit.” Jeremiah 17:5-8
"I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing." John 15:5

Platform #4
YouTube
YouTube can feature anything that will draw the attention of HOPE at Last and LOVE at Last or any other source He's led you to drink from. Most importantly, using each of your platforms to effectively link and bridge the deep chasm of despair to one of the many sites, specifically, a blog or course or devotionals or Psalms and Proverbs—thus Building a Bridge allowing women the opportunity to go to the Source.

YouTube Testimony
Beloved, today I want to encourage you to persist in planting in every area of your life. This testimony of praise is about the fruits that I am seeing in the Ministry of Social Networks, it has been a long time of sowing, it was a long time in which I did not see anything happen, however, today I can praise God because He is the one who gives The growth and the seed gave me the patience to wait and see that the hope that He was sowing would draw His girlfriends to Him. Today that time finally arrived !!
Today I entered my YouTube channel and I do not know how or why I entered a comment section, then I saw that there were many "pending approval" I was impressed because I read very nice things and many people (women and men) asking for guidance then I jumped out of my chair jumping with happiness to see the fruits of our work on social media and I was very happy to share the hope that I received at RMI when I arrived here with my marriage destroyed.
I had already realized that the number of subscribers was increasing, from 66 to 348. Then I noticed a large increase in the number of views especially in the videos of Testimonies of restored marriages so this month I republished videos of the audios of restored marriages, today I could see the number of people we have reached through these testimonies, these are the numbers of the visualizations:
1. August 22, 2020 / “He never fails us or abandons us!” = 10,251
2. August 29, 2020 / Restoration interview "He changed her heart in an instant!" = 1,320
3. February 6, 2021 / “Learn to let go from the heart” = 1,037
4. February 13, 2021 / “Make your Heavenly Husband your only priority” = 184
Is not it wonderful???? But it doesn't stop there, I received 49 comments from women and men requesting guidance !!! People who, with the help of God, will walk through “this bridge” towards the hope that is in Him through RMI. I only have praises for my Beloved and I trust that He will continue to grow our social media ministries to reach more of His girlfriends !! What a great blessing !!!

Polluted Wells vs a Wellspring of Life
"Lord: Drink this water, and your thirst is quenched only for a moment. You must return to this well again and again. I offer water that will become a wellspring within you that gives life throughout eternity. You will never be thirsty again.
"Woman: Please, Sir, give me some of this water, so I’ll never be thirsty and never again have to make the trip to this well."
Women are dying from the lack of fresh pure water, thirsting, and returning to social media, making the trip again and again. What we want to offer is His Word "water that will become a wellspring within you that gives life throughout eternity. You will never be thirsty again."
On your FB page, you can POST LINKS to the Encourager for His followers to read The Promise of the day, read an Encouraging Praise Report, and many other resources where they can drink from and also be cleansed.
Facebook, like YouTube, should be used to draw the attention of those who are looking for HOPE at Last.com and LOVE at Last.ORG —using these powerful platforms to effectively link and bridge the deep chasm of despair to one of the many sites, specifically: a blog or course or devotionals or Psalms and Proverbs—thus Building a Bridge allowing women the opportunity to go to the Source.
“And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does, he prospers.”

"So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless."
"So that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.”
*Remember, don't create an island with who you're ministering to, don't just bring the truth to the women on FB. Instead, be a Bridge Builder by Sharing a Praise or maybe Sharing a Living Lesson so they can enter the narrow gate—to the source. It's easy now—at the top of all our pages—there's an easy way to post encouragement. Be sure you have all your BNN accounts set up ahead of time!
