Digital Day 2026 to Address AI and Evangelism Challenges

Christian Vision is set to host Digital Day 2026 on November 12, an annual event designed to convene church leaders, ministry practitioners, and technology innovators. The gathering aims to explore the intersection of faith and emerging technology, specifically focusing on how artificial intelligence influences evangelism, discipleship, and the digital landscape.

Heinz Oldewage of Christian Vision highlighted that the primary spiritual challenge for the church in 2026 is discernment. He noted that while digital tools offer unprecedented opportunities to share the Gospel with unreached populations, they also present risks of counterfeiting spiritual authority. Oldewage emphasized that the rapid pace of technological advancement often conflicts with the need for wisdom, urging leaders to slow down to evaluate how these tools can be used to serve the kingdom of God.

Despite these tensions, the event will examine the potential of anonymous online spaces to foster faith-based conversations. Organizers suggest that digital platforms provide a unique environment where individuals feel more comfortable asking questions about faith that they might otherwise avoid in public settings.
