Earlier today, I spoke at the Kingdom Builders Conference in Ayala Vertis North. My talk was titled “AI Technology for God’s Kingdom.” I want to share the heart of it here because I believe this message matters far beyond the room it was delivered in.
I started with a story from 2009.
I was still in school. Life was not great. We weren’t poor, but we had just enough to get by. And I told God — Lord, this is my last ₱2,000. I want to give it to You.
I started a blog called God and You. It wasn’t a ministry. It was just me — a single Christian guy journaling through life. WordPress was free. The server cost ₱800 a year. The domain cost ₱500. Total investment: ₱1,300.
I wrote my heart out once a week. Then I checked my stats. Three readers. And I knew exactly who they were — my mom, my brother, and my sister.
So I did what any certified millennial would do. I Googled “how do I increase my readers.” Google said SEO. I had no idea what that was. There was barely any YouTube back then, so I learned from shady forums — brilliant, sometimes unethical people teaching tactics I had to filter through my own conscience. I experimented on the God and You blog. The tactics that worked and didn’t cross the ethical line, I documented in a new blog.
I called it SEO Hacker.
God and You grew to 2,000 readers a day. That’s an auditorium’s worth of people. Every single day. Strangers commenting that an article changed their life. People I never met, reached by words I wrote alone in my room.
That was the moment I understood something that has shaped everything I’ve built since: the pulpit has moved. It’s no longer confined to a church stage. It’s online. And most of the people preaching the gospel through content today will never be ordained, never attend seminary, never be called pastor — but their reach exceeds what most pulpits will ever have.
Technology is nothing but a tool that gets the job done in a shorter span of time. That’s it. For most of history, your reach was your voice. Technology broke that ceiling.
Mark 16:20 says, “And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them.” Notice — working with them. When you do God’s work, you’re not working alone. In Paul’s day, God worked through Roman roads, letters, ships, and trading routes. That was the technology of the age.
So what makes you think God won’t work through fiber optic cable?
There are verses I believe will come to fruition through technology. Revelation speaks of the gospel proclaimed to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people. Jesus said the gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations — and then the end will come.
Everyone will hear it. Not everyone will accept it. But they’ll hear it. And right now, the thing that can reach that wide is the internet.
But I gave the room three warnings, and I’ll give them to you too.
First — create with God’s Spirit, not just with AI. It’s easy to generate content now. But kingdom content cannot be outsourced. You have to walk in the Spirit and read God’s Word daily. There is no shortcut. I’ve been reading one chapter a day since I was twelve years old, when Joshua 1:8 grabbed me: “Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night… Then you will be prosperous and successful.”
I’ve finished the Bible fourteen times now. And I’m here to testify — God’s promises do not fail. Not just in finances. In health. In marriage. In children. Only God can give you a good spouse, and who you marry is the single biggest factor in how your life turns out.
Second — don’t outsource kingdom work because you’re lazy. I use AI heavily. I’ve spent seven digits in tokens in two months. But I will never use it to minister to someone. AI cannot pray for people. Proverbs is merciless about sloth: “A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.” And the one that cuts deepest: “One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys.” We’re not kingdom destroyers. We’re kingdom builders. That means we work.
Third — offer to God something that costs you. When Araunah offered David his threshing floor, his oxen, and his wood for free, David refused: “I will not offer to the Lord that which costs me nothing” (2 Samuel 24:24).
Sacrifice only means something if it costs you. A prompt costs you nothing. Prayer costs you attention, time, and quietness — the rarest commodities in an age where your phone screams for your attention. Rewriting at midnight costs you something. That’s the offering God honors.
Then I showed them what’s possible right now.
King David had a kingdom as his platform. You have more reach in the palm of your hand than King David ever had. A mobile phone and data — that’s all you need to reach millions.
I explained AI agents the simplest way I know: creating an AI agent is writing a job description for AI to fulfill. It’s like hiring an employee — except this employee works 24/7, has no salary, no 13th month pay, no SSS, no Pag-IBIG. Right now I have more than ten agents working for me. I wake up and read their conversations — 2 AM they were coding, 4 AM pushing snippets, 7 AM done. While I was sleeping, they were building.
That’s how RankSeer exists. I started building it March 23 this year. I failed 28 units in La Salle — I’m a terrible programmer. But AI is a fantastic one. I cast the vision, it specs it out, I review, it builds. Now it’s a real platform people subscribe to.
I even replaced my EA with an AI agent named Athena. She lives in our Slack, sees my calendar and Gmail, and answers my team’s scheduling questions — with no gossip and no data privacy leaks. Ask her my flight details and she returns them with no extra commentary.
But here’s how I closed the talk, and it’s the most important part.
There is one line AI cannot cross. Your spirit.
Have you ever been forced into chatbot support? Did you like it better than a human? Nobody does. Because the subliminal message a company sends when it puts software between you and them is this: your worth to me is the worth of my software. And you cannot preach the gospel that way.
The human touch will never be replaced. Not in business. Not in support. Not in kingdom building. You can automate and scale everything up to the point where a human being on the other end desires to know God more. Then you have to be there. You have to pray alongside them and for them. That’s when God’s Spirit moves.
You cannot tell AI, “Hey, pray for this person.” God is not moved by AI. He is moved by you.
The commission hasn’t changed in 2,000 years. The technology has. The question I left the room with, I leave with you:
What are you going to do about it?
Because with the technology in your hands right now — there is no more excuse.
