A phone. And an internet communicator. Are you getting it? These are not three separate devices\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><br \/>On that day in San Francisco, the world was introduced to the iPhone. And it changed the way we live.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<p>Imagine having actually been there. Imagine the energy, the wonder, the sense of possibility. Sure, you could read about it later that day, or re-watch it on the internet. But those few people who were there at 800 Howard Street are the only ones who truly got to FEEL it.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>Some moments are simply unforgettable. Unrepeatable.

Ever.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>Spoiler alert: It\u2019s not a new iPod, a new phone, and a new internet communicator.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>But it is ground-breaking. Individually, each of these three announcements would alter the landscape. Together, they\u2019re going to change the face of Kid\u2019s Ministry for good.<\/p>\n<p><br \/>Of course, we already know what they are. So we know exactly how important this moment is going to be.
