Sermon on a cell phone 2

Translating the text of the bible into different languages is the first part of the task of getting the bible to people of all nations. The second part is giving them a media they can perceive it from. This can be either heard, read or viewed. 

In the world today there are about 5 billion cell phones, more than adults in the world. Out of that number 1 billion are smart phones and 3 billions are feature phones. They don't have the same capabilities as the smart phones, but they can still play/display some kind of media whether it be playing a recording of the bible read in a local language or displaying a simple format text. 

This means that the phones can be used to read/hear the bible even though they don't have internet connection. This is an important part as only 60% of the worlds population has internet access. One organization that is working on getting the gospel out to remote areas in new ways is Renew outreach.

They are innovative in the way they use current or already existing (older) technologies to reach people. One example is MP3 players with a recording of the bible read in their local language. It takes only littel energy from battery or solar power to play, but the MP3 file is stored in a concealed chip and it will not be erased or ruined by loss of power or by physical influences like impact, moist, heat, cold, dust, or other things that makes tapes or CD sensitive. They have also created kits that mobile missionaries can bring to remote ares. These kits contains a solar driven PA kit that allows them to play to 50, 200 or 1000 people at a time depending on the kit. Imagine being able to show a Jesus movie even if the electricity is unstable or non-existing!
