Kenya (MNN/The JESUS Film Project) — It’s been a year since the al-Shabaab attack on Garissa University College, where 147 people were killed. But even in the midst of such tragedy, God was working.

You see, one student didn’t just flee for his life that day. He ran away with the Gospel. Right before he left, the student grabbed his tablet–which had access to the “JESUS” film through an app.
While hiding out in the bush, he continued to use it to show JESUS. Eventually, he made his way to another city, still with tablet in hand.
As he reflected on what happened, he shared this perspective: “Despite how they did everything, [the terrorists], the tablet is here. Why? The simple reason: because the tablet is mobile. Anyway I find myself now, despite homeless: I think I am privileged to share, I’m privileged to share with the tablet.
“I want to say a very big ‘thank God’ first, and I want to thank all the effort that [has] been put to have this tablet because it’s really helpful. This tablet has gone a long way in affecting souls.”
The best part? Anyone can get the very same app this student has used to evangelize while on the road. Through Jesus Film Media, The JESUS Film Project shares its entire JESUS Film project library with anyone who has a smart phone or tablet. And now, the JESUS film is available in over 1,300 languages.

You seem to be mixing facts. You talk about the Garissa attack in Kenya. But the student you mention is a West African???????? Thousands of miles from Kenya????? I lived in Garissa for 3 years as a missionary and there is no city within a 100 miles of desert where this man could have walked to.
I like how you want to promote the app but to do so my sckechy means is very questionable.
Dear Andy,
Thanks for calling our attention to this. The clarification is that the student was from West Africa, but was attending Garissa University. The story also indicates that he fled, hid in the bush and eventually made his way to another city. It does not say he did so on foot. We don’t have more details on this story other than what The JESUS Film Project shared with us.
