Our NEW Addition!


BuyFromAChritian is proud to announce the launch of their new addition bfacmi.com! bfac mobile inspiration is one way we're trying to reach the world for Christ one cell phone at a time! We've posted many times on our FB Page "text bfac to 90210" to receive your daily bible verse - but how did this all start?

In the bible it says in Philippians 1:18: "The most important thing is that in every way...Christ is proclaimed."

It is our belief that we can act on this by sending out a bible verse to your cell phone everyday - rain or shine! We do not charge anything for you to sign up. Depending on your text messaging plan it may charge you when you receive a text - but in today's world most people have unlimited plans. If you have an unlimited plan - our free daily bible verse is 100% free!


Get this! Research shows that 80% of cell phone users keep their phones with them at all times and keep them on 24 hours a day. 94% of all text messages are read, most of them immediately. And 80% of cell phone users are willing to receive opt-in text messages and even pay for them if the content meets their wants and needs. Now think of that in terms of how many people reading a bible verse everyday! This movement in our company has nothing to do with the people that made bfacmi.com but God working through the lives of those who made this opportunity possible for you!

How many times have we as Christians intend to do a daily devotion - but reality sinks in and it just doesn't happen. Life gets in the way and that daily devotion gets reschedule for tomorrow but tomorrow never comes. And then - how many of us honestly carry a bible in our purse, back pocket, in the car, backpacks, or briefcases? Having said that - some of us do have "an app for that" and have the bible on our iphone (or any smartphone) or ipad. But how often we do open that app and read a scripture?

But here's the thing - we all have a cell phone. In Mississippi alone, there are three times the amount of cell phones out there than there are internet connections! Amazing right?! How many times have we left home without our cell phone? How many time we know exactly where our cell phone is but we don't know where our bible is? Even as the blogger of this entry - I can honestly say "I think I know where my bible is" but my cell phone is about six inches away from me right now. It's reality - and it's being honest. So why not combine texting and the bible and get thousands of people to read a bible verse everyday! At the time of this blog entry, bfacmi now has more than 2,000 subscribers to the daily bible verse! What's even more awesome - this feature has only been live for about 3 months! We, as in bfacmi.com, can't wait to see how God grows that number by the end of 2011!

Since the launch of the daily bible verse we've had several people share their testimony of how the 160 character (max) daily bible verse on their phone sent via text have impacted their lives. Click on this link and you can here just one of the testimonials of how the bible text message moved them. This service that we can now provide to you is a true blessing to our company and we hope you share this with all of your friends!
