At the youth workers convention I was at last week, there were several cool uses of the cell phone for worship/prayer. My favorite one was through a prayer exercise led by Jeanne Stevens. She started by saying something like, “Maybe you feel like you need to be filled up this week” and then asked those that agreed with the statement to turn their phone display on. Within the darkness we saw that there were others with the same struggles, while it still gave some sense of ambiguity. The lights filling up the auditorium was quite the site to see — overwhelming me emotionally at times. It was a very unique experience.
