Using Mobile Phones in Evangelism

The lastest Web Evangelism Bulletin has a very helpful article on the use of Mobile Phones in evangelism. There are currently 2 billion people with mobile phones and 80% of the world's population lives in a mobile phone reception area. The Christian Enquiry Agency has used text-messaging in the past so that people could respond to radio ads with great success (see image right), but is just the tip of the iceberg as far as their potential usefulness is concerned.
The article points out that mobiles can be used to download Bibles and scripture verses; video-clips; wallpaper (background screens for your 'phone - as a conversation starters), and to direct users to websites - which can be accessed by an increasing number of mobiles.
