Five years ago, I grew impassioned for the idea that a media strategy could be used to reach nomads in East Africa. Time and again, I ran into people [who] pushed back, saying: \u201cOh, they don\u2019t use media,\u201d \u201cThey are in the bush,\u201d and \u201cThere is no wifi.\u201d Then they were willing to say, \u201cYou can try it, but it needs to be high quality.\u201d Their request would have meant thousands of dollars and long production delays.<\/p>\n
Finally, they allowed me to just use my phone for creating a simple video showing local women at work with a recording of Proverbs 31. Then we advertised the video only in areas where these nomads were predominant. 10,000 people have watched the video so far, and 200 have asked us for more videos from God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n
When I took these results to locals and my leadership, they said, \u201cWe could never have believed that 10,000 Afar would hear God\u2019s truth all for US$20 and a little time investment.\u201d Now I have the blessing of leaders to move forward on using mobile engagement in digital ministry as broadly as possible.<\/p>\n
Mobile ministry can be effective as we are released to try it.<\/p>\n
