Bible verse by text message service relaunched

-14/12/04

The Christian thinktank and news provider Ekklesia, has relaunched its daily bible-verse-by-text-message service.

The "Daily Text" initiative was initially launched for UK mobile phone users two years ago, to help Christians gain a moment of reflection in their busy working lives.

The service has now been relaunched, providing cheaper, and now global delivery of a daily bible verse.

Although there are other organisations also running bible-verse-by-text-message services, Ekklesia's service is believed to be the only one run on a not-for-profit basis.

It is possibly the cheapest sms service of its kind anywhere in the world.

Those wanting to get a bible verse on their mobile every morning can do so through the Ekklesia web site, by signing up for a one month, three month or six month period.

Each text costs less than 12p.
