Christian mobile content provider, Unity In Values, announced the launch of The Mobile Word Video Community, the first user-generated mobile video service targeted at Christian youth. Available on The Mobile Word, the application gives consumers the opportunity to use technology to stay in touch with the community and share their spiritual values. To kick start the application, Unity In Values has launched an initiative to collect video prayers for the troops, with the goal of reaching one million video prayers by the end of June.

The Million Prayers for the Troops initiative allows Christian youth to express their support for friends and family and other American soldiers in the military. Subscribers from every major U.S. mobile phone carrier can record their inspirational message or prayer on their video capable cell phone and send their video message from their phone to [email protected]. Users without video phones can upload prayers from their computers at The Mobile Word website. Upon review, the submitted prayers will be available at the same website and via wireless providers who carry The Mobile Word application.

In addition to the Million Prayers for the Troops, users can submit Christian and other video clips in the music, comedy, entertainment or inspiration category. Registered users of the Mobile World website will be able to view their submissions, as well as rate other content. Unity In Values will review submissions to ensure that each video meets Christian decency standards and award prizes to the best videos in each category. Furthermore, Unity In Values will donate $1000 each month to a charity supporting the troops on behalf of the user who sends the top rated Prayer for the Troops.
