Jesus Shared is a new website designed to encourage and connect believers and non-believers alike, through the power of God’s unconditional love and compassion. It exists to prove to the world that no matter how broken you are or what you’re going through, there will always be someone to help you through it. Jesus Shared is more than a website. It’s more than a platform. It’s an outreach meant to bring hurting people closer to each other, and to the God who loves them.

So how exactly does Jesus Shared accomplish that goal? The platform actually includes a variety of features that serve to fulfill the same purpose in many different ways. One of the highlights of Jesus Shared is the ability to request a prayer. Within a few clicks, anyone can send their prayer needs to the staff at Jesus Shared, who then pray as requested and send a blessing both through e-mail and on their blog. Though the Holy Spirit is all you need to approach God in prayer, it is always uplifting to know that someone cares enough to approach God on your behalf.

Another simple feature that goes a long way is the ability to talk to someone about your problems or concerns. Sometimes the most compassionate thing someone can do for you in your time of need is listen. These people don’t know you well enough to have biased opinions or thoughts about your situation. They are simply there to listen and give advice that ultimately directs you in the way of the Lord. When you’re hurting, that’s all you can ever ask for.

Jesus Shared does not only provide a safe haven for weary souls. It also equips passionate hearts for ministry. It gives people who care a platform to find people to care for. Whether you desire to counsel others or simply pray for them, Jesus Shared will never deny you the opportunity to shine the light of Christ in this dark and lonely world.

In this day and age of incredible technology, Christians are able to reach out like never before. Jesus Shared seeks to take a hold of the invaluable resource of the Internet and use it for the glory of God and the furthering of His Kingdom. The Church cannot thrive without people who are humble enough to admit their weaknesses and bold enough to find strength in the name of Jesus. The community at Jesus Shared is full of both kinds, and there are many who would testify to that.

Jesus Shared’s site verse is Matthew 5:3: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” This entire ministry is living proof that the least of the least are loved by the King and that when we come to Him, together, as equally imperfect human beings, He empowers us. He gives us all that we need to make it in this life and to walk boldly into the next.
