Listen "Reaching Gamers for Christ: Theos Ministry Story"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the Win Win Evangelism Podcast, Tina Waldrom chats with 21-year-old Theo from Brisbane, Australia. Theo is the founder of Theos Ministry, an online movement dedicated to reaching gamers for Christ. What started as a simple idea while recovering from surgery has now become a thriving global community where young adults gather to play, chat, and explore the Bible together. Theo shares how he began sharing his faith during online gaming sessions, using creative metaphors drawn from popular games like Fortnite to start meaningful conversations about Jesus. His story reveals how God can turn even the most unexpected spaces, like a gaming stream, into places of ministry and transformation.
Throughout the episode, Theo and Tina explore how the digital world can be a mission field for this generation. From building the Garden of Eden in Minecraft to hosting online Bible studies and writing a course on digital discipleship, Theo’s ministry is equipping believers to use their online presence for good. He also shares powerful testimonies of lives changed, including a young gamer who found hope and faith after battling depression. Whether you’re a gamer, a parent, or a church leader curious about the potential of online evangelism, this conversation will open your eyes to the incredible ways God is working in the digital space and how you, too, can get involved in reaching gamers for Christ.
