In the last 10 days, CRMF made awareness about the good use of technology to an estimated 3,300 people.
This is live audience numbers via power point presentations and speaking at conference venues.
“Wantok Radio Light” (Christian Radio Station) was present in one of these conferences to live broadcast the potential that technology provides for the church in Papua New Guinea. In other words, a lot more people heard of the WI-Fi Bible over the radio. We thank the Lord of the knowledge and wisdom to use WI-Fi technology to distribute God’s word.
The more urgent question to ask is how to increase the capacity of downloads so that all the 200 – 300 participants attending a conference can download the resources. The team experienced that the enthusiasm of the conference participants resulted in the WiFi network being jammed up.
The next step was to monitor the number of mobile phones so that only a maximum of 10 were downloading at any one time. There is something about the bible that attracts people no matter what form it is packaged in.
Apostle Peter in John 6:68 – 69 said “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God!” To me, it’s Peter realizing who and what Jesus is; he is the word of life and the holy one of God. There is no other way to find real life that lasts (John 14:6). As a team involved in bible distribution, we identify a similar hunger and thirst for bibles.
We know of a man who walked a day’s distances just to get to the airstrip to buy a Bible from an MAF pilot’s “Bible Box”. We also know of a woman who no longer has fear of the evil spirits because she owns an audio bible which is part of her “tool” when she goes to the garden. An MAF Pilot’s Bible Box is empty by the time it lands in the airstrip.
The one and the same living and active double edged sword (Hebrews 4:12) is now being delivered via Wi-Fi technology; our hope is that just like Apostle Peter and the other disciples who realized the importance of being with Jesus for the words of life we create opportunities for the younger generation to have the words of life at their fingertips!
One such opportunity was to speak at the “PNG Visionary Leaders Conference” organized by Joseph Kingal Ministries, in Lae. This is the third time that Pastor Susan of Joseph Kingal Ministries has organized to bring secondary school students for a week long teaching on various topics focusing on being a visionary leader. Popular Pastors were invited to speak on various topics including the good use of technology.
We came away with a challenge that there is vast opportunity to minister and distribute digital bibles and biblical resources to today’s young generation; we just don’t have the time and the manpower to meet this need.
Pray with us to have opportunities to minister to the younger generation especially at educational institutions.
