Middle East
Walking around an airport, a man*
secretly carried a wireless hotspot in his pocket. This device advertises open
Wi-Fi to anyone seeking an Internet connection. Similar to the Wi-Fi at a
McDonald’s or in a hotel, the first page served from the hotspot displays
content available in the local languages, including the text of the Bible and
the film, JESUS.
In just over an hour, 30 business
travelers, asylum seekers and tourists downloaded JESUS from the hotspot
in this man’s pocket—in a country where authorities would kill the man if he
handed out a single copy of the Bible on a street corner.
Today, this man has prepared 2,500
hotspot units to be carried by hundreds of volunteers in the coming months. Who
knows the potential impact of the story of Jesus on phones and touchscreens in
places where traditional methods of ministry face so much resistance?
* This man and his location need to
remain nameless for security reasons.
