Mobile Ministry Magazine

A question that I have been asked a few times in my walking out on MMM is how do I go and minister mobility. I mean, is there more that one can do besides publish a magazine and write in a daily blog? Well, my answer is yes, and its the "more" of MMM that makes me want to do this more often for more people.

One of the more fun aspects of MMM has been being able to go to different people (friends, family, and strangers alike) and help them get thru their technology questions adn problems with as little hurt as possible. Sometimes, the advice is just that, advice. Maybe to do something differently or consider a program or device that would better meet one's needs. But, even in that, there is always the idea that no matter what is said, MMM is always a resource, not a crutch. I like that the many people that I've been able to bless with tech (hardware or software) have been able to take what they have been given and go to someone else with it and bless them.

Another thing is something that I'd like to do more of is related to the previous paragraph in that I like to give PDAs away. I like to buy them and then give them to people who have a genuine need for a PDA. Of course, I like to give to everyone, but I am learning to listen to the needs of people and then try to either set them up with a PDA (and hopefully later tabletPCs and laptops) at little to no cost for them. I think that part of enabling teh Body to be mobile with ministry is to give them the tool that can let them be mobile. Jesus didn't send the disciples into the world without the Holy Spirit, and so I feel the same (except in no way does tech equal the Holy Spirit).

What I would like to begin doing, and would require a lot of time on my part, is going to churches and speaking at workshops and services about the need to be a mobile minister, especially online. Not so much that we have to be JesusIsLord@Iam.com; but that we need to represent Him in our speech, actions, and let that flow into our offline lives. To those that have been given teh ability to, mobile ministry is taking the technology of mobile computers and the internet and submitting them to our Lord. The goal isnt to make the whole net Christian; but it is to make the whole net worship and honor the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as the God who runs things. And why cannot the net be another place that's submitted to that ideal? I think it can be and want to help others get there.

So yea, this is my heart and the vision for where MMM is going and is presently. I would hope that you would encourage and help MMM either in prayer, emails, or if you have tech that you want to donate, let me know. There is always a need for someone to have what we dont want. And you never know, you might just bless a future president or CEO with the means to become the Light God intended them to be. Something to think about dont ya think ;-)
