She was very poor, but she had a media-capable phone with a microSD card slot. The media was fluent in Urdu and powerfully communicated who Jesus is. Amira and her family came to faith and began sharing media with their Muslim neighbors, introducing Jesus.<\/li><li>A movement in Asia, where mobile service is not always available, is progressing thanks to microSD cards. Loaded with appropriate media to introduce Jesus and the Bible, the cards are great tools for evangelism and discipleship. Emerging leaders receive cards pre-filled with leadership material, including videos that demonstrate how to guide groups of seekers or young believers.<\/li><li>Julie travels often and prays for God to give her opportunities to share the gospel. For less than $50, she buys a dozen or more microSD cards, loading them with media in the local language. When people show an interest in what she is sharing (sometimes she just shows a video when she doesn\u2019t know their local language), she hands them a microSD card that continues speaking to them when she leaves.
