SMS Bible?!

While I am not part of the "text messaging" culture that uses their cell phone as a replacement for AOL Instant Messenger, I do enjoy the ability to send short messages to family when I am running late at work. I would not generally think of it as an evangelistic tool. But it appears the Bible society is taking seriously their commitment to bring the bible to every language by translating the Bible into text message lingo!

Each verse is translated into 'SMS Language' - the full Contemporary English Version (CEV) with a modern twist! True meaning and order of words retained - 100% faithful to original text...The purpose of this program is to provide a tool to the Christian community which will assist and encourage engagement with the Word of God.

They even provide a free downloadable program to send selected passages. Fair Warning: I have not tried this myself, so I can only vouch that it does indeed come from the Bible Society website. I have no idea how stable the program is, itself, or how easy to use.
