 Break up into pairs
 One of you will pretend to be from another
country.The other should strike up a
conversation and find out what language
they speak and try to access and play a clip
from the JESUS Film in that language.After
the clip is finished e-mail a link to it to the
viewer.

 Switch roles.This time the Christian should
try and share John 3 with the person in their
heart language by either showing them the
text in their language if they can read or
playing the audio if they can’t. Once finished
try and e-mail the person a link to the
chapter.

Section 6

 Media playback is the main must have!
 Look (around) before you leap
(purchase)
 Avoid the wow factor
 GSM phones (using a SIM card) are
more likely to be able to be used
in other countries

 The size of the sound is more important
than the size of the screen
 Removable memory (microSD card) is a big
plus
 If means of charging are scarce, forget the
smartphone (unless it has a removable
battery and you can get 1-2 spares)
 Consider whether what you give up worth
what you gain with the iPhone?
