Radical Fighters Transformed

   Ali is a young man who lives in an oppressive, hostile-to-Christ society. He had become a follower of Jesus and wanted to share the Good News with everyone, but he could be killed for declaring his faith.
    That’s when he learned about a device called a New Life Box*. Ali went into the town center and turned it on.
    Immediately, every smartphone and tablet in range beeped with a message, “Would you like to watch a movie about the life of Jesus?” Fascinated that they could watch a film about Jesus privately—and in their heart language—people began watching.   
    Unfortunately, hours later, Ali learned someone stole the device! The villagers thought the thief was a woman named Myriam, visiting from a distant mountain village, but now she was long gone.
    Ali and his friends went on a recovery mission, trekking over difficult, mountainous terrain, eventually finding her home.
    To their surprise, Myriam invited them in and offered them a meal. Ali thought, “Is this a setup? Are they going to kill me? What do we do now?” You see, before Ali arrived, inside Myriam’s home, were 25 men—among them radical fighters—seated with their families, crowded around a small table. And in the center of the table, as though placed in a position of honor, was the stolen New Life Box!
    Suddenly, Myriam blurted out, “I WAS THE ONE WHO STOLE IT!” She picked up the small box to give it back. Then in unison, everyone rose to their feet, as though to honor what to them had become a sacred device. Myriam announced: “It brought changes to all of us. All of our lives were transformed!”
    Everyone began talking with joy, speaking over one another, telling Ali about the Words of Life they had seen and heard on their smartphone. 

*New Life Box. Also called a “Lightstream Pocket”. Created in partnership with Renew World Outreach, see a video about it HERE. Small enough to fit in a pocket and battery powered, it sets up a Wi-Fi zone for 150 feet in all directions, making the film “JESUS”, the Scriptures, gospel themed short films, and discipleship resources available to anyone with a smartphone—even when there is no cell service, power or internet.
