More phones than toothbrushes

James Thomas - Friday 07 November 2014

There are more phones in use today than toothbrushes. No, this is not a blog about dental hygiene.

Villagers who can hardly afford their next meal own phones. They use them for communicating with family, finding work, accessing information, entertainment, and as a light source.

Half of internet users will never use a computer to access the internet. Their mobile is their personal source of global information.

What greater message is there for people to hear than the Story of Jesus in their own language? When has there ever been a greater opportunity to connect with anyone in the world? Although communication is normally best done in person, mobile technology can speak to people anywhere in the world. With mobile technology the time, device, location, and language are all personal to the hearer.

GRN has 11,000 gospel recordings in 5,500 languages available online. This treasure MUST be shared with the world.

GRN is trying hard to expose these precious recordings, making them accessible by the best means available to mobile users everywhere.

Half of new phones in the world have a touch screen. GRN is developing easy to use apps for these devices. Our aim is to make accessing our gospel recordings as simple as answering your phone. We want people to not be able to stop themselves from telling their friends about the wonderful message of God's love they have heard on their phone and how they can hear it too. We are not quite at that point yet. Please pray for wisdom and the means to achieve this. Mobile devices can offer not just artificial light, but the true light of God's good news.

We know that the prevalence of mobile devices and their affordability is only going to increase. We also know that technology changes. Ask for God's help in staying abreast of the latest changes in technology and the ability to recognise further opportunities for evangelism via mobile technology.
