Abstract

Preaching the Good News is the duty of every believer of all ages as been mandated in the Bible. This Great Commission has to be carried out faithfully by followers of Jesus Christ. In this era of disruption, which is closely related to fundamental changes in all aspects of human life, the mandate is still relevant. In addition, the Gospel must deliver with sound content and a contextual approach. However, the reality on the ground is that there is no Christian spiritual content that can convey the gospel message positively for millennials. Therefore, this research seeks to examine evangelistic content that is relevant to the millennial generation. This research uses a case study method that can use as a global understanding. The study results show that the millennial generation is interested in Instagram as a content source, which YouTube and WhatsApp follow. However, this interest is not following by content relevant to the Millennials generation’s language
