1. INTRODUCTION

F acebook is today the biggest social media platform

around. Facebook has more than two billion people
using it every month (which is almost a third of the
world's population). Facebook has more than 65 million
businesses using Facebook Pages and more than six
million advertisers actively promoting their business on
Facebook.
All these facts and more that we will be looking at shortly
are what makes Facebook the first social media platform
that you should consider getting an account on. It is also
because of these facts that we will be spending more time
talking about this platform than the
other 4 we will be looking at in this book
and discussing how you can make the
best use of the features the platform
offers for your church/ministry.
