Gabriel Communicator Sparks New Generation Of Mobile Evangelists
24 January 2008
A new device that could spawn a generation of mobile evangelists will be unveiled at the
Heart of England Christian Resources Exhibition next month (21-23 Feb 08).
The
tiny Gabriel Communicator from Txttouch, which can be placed in a backpack or
handbag, uses Bluetooth technology to beam text messages to all mobile phones
within a 100-metre radius.
'Bible
verses or even digital gospel tracts can be sent to local mobile phones from
this device.' explains Txttouch managing director Nicholas Maguire, who has
been involved in Church leadership for nearly 15 years. 'This is a culturally
relevant way to contact people regardless of their age.'
The
Gabriel Communicator can also be used inside churches - to transmit notices,
song sheets, sermon notes, rotas, bible readings and home group details to
members of the congregation, free of charge.
Introducing
churches to relevant technological innovation is one of the aims of the Heart
of England Christian Resources Exhibition, often dubbed 'the ideal church
show', which takes place at the International Centre,
More than
5000 people, representing most mainstream Christian denominations, are expected
to attend the show which will feature up to 150 organisations, from book
publishers to youth work specialists, relief agencies to chair manufacturers.
Under
the title ‘Your Church’ more than 30 seminars and workshops will target issues
like multi-media worship, debt counselling, child protection and gang culture.
Expert advice will be at hand from people engaged at the leading edge of local
church ministry.
