Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Environmental Evangelism: Leveraging Technology for Creation Care Ministry in Nigeria

Evangelism is a key factor in Christianity. It is acknowledged as the major reproductive mechanism for the church growth. However, in this contemporary time, various factors tend to be militating against environmental evangelism in country, which necessitates that the church leverage on Artificial Intelligence (AI) for efficient creation care ministry in Nigeria. The purpose of the study is to ventures into socio-religious analysis of the efficiency of AI and Environmental Evangelism: Leveraging Technology for Creation Care Ministry in Nigeria. It explores how AI technologies are being integrated into environmental Evangelism, facilitating new ways of interpretation of sacred messages, while also offering novel approaches to understanding social dynamics and cultural phenomena. The computational learning theory was simulated in this study. In this study, two methods were used: the first is the empirical method, and the second, the historical method involving the use of records and secondary data. Field research involved the use of research instruments consisting of both online and paper-based questionnaires; observation was both participatory and non-participatory, personal interviews and informal discussion. Findings reveals that leveraging on artificial intelligence for evangelization in the contemporary Creation Care ministry presents both challenges and opportunities. Consequently, inasmuch as the use of artificial intelligence for evangelism in our today’s world will improve evangelism by reaching a wider audience and souls through digital platforms, artificial intelligence gives Creation Care ministries a genuine human engagement, relationship and personal touch in the contemporary Church mission fields. This study submits that leveraging on Artificial intelligence for evangelization in the contemporary Creation Care ministry wields the prospective to be a valuable mechanism in reaching a broader soul as well as ministering to individuals in meaningful ways. However, relevant moral, social and religious consequences should be considered as that will enforce the effective leverage of integrating Artificial intelligence to boost evangelism expertise in the contemporary Creation Care ministry.
