British Christians offered mobile phone prayer alerts

Tuesday, 13 May 2008

 

British Christians are now able to pray together wherever they may be by subscribing to a new mobile phone service.

Subscribers to the prayer mobile service are to receive a text asking them to pray, simultaneously, on issues ranging from terrorism to homelessness and the credit crunch, according to an official from the telephone firm, Ecumen. The company is offering the service in conjunction with a Christian charity, Prayer in Action. Ecumen provides a range of religious products for mobile phones. The company is part of the telephone firm, Teimlo, Britain’s self-described leading provider of mobile phone services for the Christian market. The AFP News Service reported that last year Teimlo offered downloads of the Bible for mobile phones.
