The role of social media in the spread of the religious message throughout Atlanta is in keeping with the times. In the heart of the Bible belt, Atlanta is also a highly wired city.
It is not surprising, then, that Atlanta based Team Soteria Ministries ranks #44 on the Twitterholic list for the city.
Pastor Terry Graham leads Team Soteria Ministries, a non-profit organization dedicated to “teaching, preaching and healing all that are oppressed by the devil.”
In bringing his healing message to the city of Atlanta, Pastor Graham has created an impressive network of Twitter followers, showing the power of social media in today’s preaching.
The name Soteria is a Greek word meaning salvation or deliverance. Team Soteria ministers deliverance and prosperity to not just Atlantans but, thanks to the power of social media, to people throughout the world.
Not only does Pastor Graham have over 20,000 Twitter followers - his ministry also offers a call-in Bible study every Thursday so one can participate from the convenience of home or car anywhere in the world. The website also offers an online shop, with video sermons and audio teachings for sale; a broadcast center for promulgating the word; and prayer requests can be sent in via email.
As many Atlantans seek a balance between being plugged in to social media networks and maintaining traditional personal interactions, Team Soteria is succeeding in keeping its followers linked and the message of God’s healing spreading – one Tweet at a time.
