Fellowship Finder-From Christian Testimony Ministries

The Concept:

Fellowship Finder is tool to help saints seeking fellowship simply around the Lord Jesus Christ to find like minded believers.

Fellowship Finder allows you to mark your approximate location on a map of the world.  When you mark your location you also provide a brief public message about yourself.  Once you have marked your position you can see the marked locations of all the other Fellowship Finder users around the world.

When you locate another believer you can send them a brief anonymous message from within Fellowship Finder.

Uses for Fellowship Finder include looking for others with which to fellowship around where you live, looking for other believers while on the road or preparing to move, and announcing that you are seeking fellowship to those that may be traveling to your area, and just for encouragement to see that the Lord is working in other places.

The Power of Intercession from Abiding & Brokenness in Prayer

To think that God would have a man drop dead before my eyes to try to pass on to my heart the gift of brokenness in prayer is something that brings me to tears, but it was only truly reawakened in March 2015, after James Flowers opened with a brokenness prayer for Dr Dobson’s talk about how we stand at a moment similar to Roe vs Wade. At the close of the meeting as I thanked Flowers for the reminder, he was shocked that the same last words to inspire him, I had heard from the last breaths of Mickey Bonner’s lips in 1997. “We must learn to pray with the mind of Christ and it comes only when we humble ourselves before him. It comes only when we are broken.” Please share additional resources that should be added to this playlist on YouTube:

ToYouBible -New Bible App for Mobile Devices Personalizes Bible Passages with the User’s Name & Gender

A new Bible app, ToYouBible, is revolutionizing the way Bible readers experience the Bible. ToYouBible instantly populates thousands of applicable Bible passages with the user’s name and also customizes them to read according to the user’s gender. A version of the app also allows the user to input their spouse’s name, if married, and then instantly customizes all relevant biblical passages on marriage with both spouses’ names. For instance, John 3:16 for a woman named Susan would read this way:

“For God so loved Susan, that he gave his one and only Son, that Susan believing in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”

 


The popularity of Bible reading using mobile device applications has been demonstrated by the success of the YouVersion Bible app which currently has over 100 million users worldwide. This trend piggybacks on the increasing popularity of smartphones and the busy and active lifestyles of many users who are people of faith.

The ToYouBible app also caters to the popularity of personalized merchandise and gifts. The creators of the ToYouBible App, believe that use of mobile devices and as well as the added value of personalization could help make Bible reading more meaningful and relevant to readers.

One of the creators, Gregory Ijiwola, Ph.D., an evangelical pastor and a Moody Theological Seminary alumnus, said his desire is to foster a more intimate experience in reading God’s word.

“We believe the Bible is God’s letter to humanity on his love and plans for us and it contains the answer to all of life’s questions. However, when people read it, the words and promises of the Bible oftentimes seem distant and meant for people who lived thousands of years ago.”

Ijiwola asserts that people of faith are taught to memorize and meditate on scriptures by speaking them. He believes the ToYouBible app can encourage this practice. “While using sound hermeneutical principles and staying true to the original text, we want to use this app to liven up Bible reading by making it read like a letter to the individual with their names directly in it,” he said.

The ToYouBible App, tagged ‘The Bible That Reads in Your Name’ is currently available in the iOS and android version on the Apple Appstore and Google Play store respectively. According to the creators, it already has “hundreds of steadily increasing downloads” a day after its launch.
