Give a Phone, Give a Connection

Got an old phone sitting in a drawer?

 

That phone could put a Bible, a church family, and a helping hand into the life of someone who has none of those things right now.

 

Boundless is an online church for people who cannot get to a church building. For a lot of the people we serve, a phone is the only way they can worship with us, read the Bible with us, and stay connected. Some are pastors and missionaries. Some are families going through a hard season. Some just have no way to afford a working phone.

 

If you have a device you are not using anymore — a computer, a laptop, a tablet, a phone, any of it — you can give it a second life with us.

 

What we can use — just about anything that still works

 

• Computers and desktops

• Laptops

• Tablets and iPads

• iPhones and Android phones

• Chargers and cables, if you have them

 

If it turns on and still works, it can probably help somebody. Ask us if you are not sure.

 

Before you send it

 

1. Back up anything you want to keep.

2. Sign out of your Apple ID or Google account.

3. Factory reset the phone, so none of your personal things travel with it.

 

When a phone reaches us, we wipe it and check it again before it ever goes to a person. Your privacy matters to us.

 

How to send it

 

Send us a message first through Boundless and we will tell you exactly where to send it. Please do not mail a device until you hear back from us, so nothing gets lost.

 

What happens next

 

Working devices go to pastors, missionaries, and people in need who are part of this church family. Devices that cannot be used get recycled the right way. Nothing gets sold for profit.

 

Your name goes with your gift

 

When your device goes out to a pastor or missionary, we attach your name to it, with your okay. And we will connect the two of you as pen pals, so you can write back and forth, pray for each other, and hear what your gift is doing. A donated phone is not just a phone. Around here, it is the start of a friendship.

 

One honest note

 

We are a church family, not tax experts. If you need a receipt or a tax answer, check with your own tax person about your gift.

 

Thank you for helping somebody get connected.
