British Christians Can Get ‘Prayer Alerts’ Via Cell Phone

Jump to Comments

The Christian charity, Prayer In Action, has teamed up with telephone company Teimlo to offer a mobile phone prayer service. The group hopes to reach 500,000 people across England.

With a world in turmoil, it’s amazing to think that we could soon have half a million people in the United Kingdom alone joining in focused prayer on an issue of national concern.

“This will be a force for positive change in our nation,” Erik Fok, sales chief of Ecumen said.

Ecumen has a range of religious products that are designed for British mobile phones. They are affiliated with Teimlo.

Subscribers to the service will receive text messages asking for prayer on a wide range of issues. Last year Teimlo offered downloads of the Bible for mobile phones.

“The Prayer Mobile text service pulls together one of the oldest traditions known to mankind with one of the newest most prevalent technologies available. Prayer is only a text away,” Prayer in Action boss Carl Brettle said.

The service will cost subscribers about 50 cents a week. For that fee Prayer Mobile will send a weekly prayer alert out.
