Asian digital missionaries called to turn influence into Christian witness

Vatican News More than 100 Catholic digital missionaries, communicators, content creators, and faith influencers from across Asia have concluded a four-day gathering aimed at transforming online influence into authentic Christian witness. The first Asian Catholic Digital Missionary Assembly took place on 10–13 September at the Radio Veritas Asia campus in Quezon City, in the Philippines. Organised under the theme “Influencers to Witnesses: Synodal Way for Digital Mission in Asia,” the gathering drew inspiration from the words of the Apostles: “We cannot keep from speaking about what we have seen and heard” (Acts 4:20). The assembly encouraged participants to move beyond simply producing online content and instead become witnesses rooted in communion and the missionary dimension of faith. It also promoted formation and a shared vision for digital evangelization across the continent.
