Brian Cooke was working in a hostel in Malawi when he encountered a group of racers. Their love changed his life and caused him to follow Jesus.

Now he sees many racers more interested in connecting with their smart phones than with the people they have come to serve. In this short video he tells his story and makes a plea that we not miss out on God's best because of our phone addiction.

I raised the issue here and here and more than 200 people have weighed in arguing the pros and cons. Brian sees it as a big problem. Do you agree?
