There's hardly a young person out there without a mobile phone and the HOPE movement is tapping into their technological dexterity with a new campaign encouraging young people to text about their faith.Textify was recently launched by Hope Revolution, the youth arm of HOPE, at the Redeemed Christian Church of God's Festival of Life in Manchester.
As part of the campaign, hundreds of young people will use their mobile phones and social netowrks to begin conversations about Jesus.
The campaign takes 1 Peter 3:15 as its inspiration, encouraging young people to use Textify as a way to "always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have".
Textify challenges young Christians to spend a week praying for three friends and then text them each a question or 'God thought' as a conversation starter.
Participants are encouraged to pray daily for their friends and use their responses as an opportunity to speak about the difference Jesus makes in their life.
The vision is to see conversations drenched in prayer, youths empowered and confident to engage in mission, and young people coming to know Christ.
