I’m thinking if I go with the “use them” route, I can have kids google facts pertaining to the message I’m giving, or have a contest to see who can find the scripture verses quicker (bonus points if it’s one someone has memorized and they can recite it without a phone or Bible). I was thinking of doing Bible trivia as well… but I might just require memory for that one. 🙂

I am looking to create a cell phone ministry, one for parents and one for kids. I want to embed 1-3 minute video or audio files so that folks that are less willing or able to go to the Bible but have their phones glued to their hands can get immediate access to great content on the run. Not ideal as the best way to get God’s Word is to soak it in (crock pot vs microwave), but this could work well for some busy folks whose alternative would be to spend no time in God’s Word. I have a full time job outside of the ministry and am looking for great content that I can easily package and share. I have sources like GodTube and some BlueFish content, but looking for suggestions (or hopefully this will inspire some of you to start sending messages like this).

Some people don’t give their number out, I think Google Voice is a great alternative.

I recently started working with the youth and did not want to dwell on the negativity caused but cell phones. These suggestions might turn a negative into a positive.

This strikes me as odd. All my students have my number. Did I miss something?
