Mobile Ministry Magazine

Palms for Pastors has released Newcomers 1.0 and Correctional Facilities Ministry (CFM) 1.0, as new additions to its inventory of Palm-based applications for ministry. The Newcomers application helps pastors to quickly record information as it is received about new people who have moved into a community and may be looking for a church family. The pastor is able to record a family name, possible address, the source of the information, and to set a tentative date for a welcome call. Newcomers also provides pastors a way to record information about houses for sale in the community as a way to monitor the arrival of new people who might also be looking for a church family and then to follow up with a welcome call. Correctional Facilities Ministry was created at the request of a chaplain who ministers to inmates at several different facilities and needed a way to track names and record notes from visitations at several different facilities. The chaplain is able to plan a day by scheduling visits by name and the application automatically enters facility, floor, and cell information of the inmate. Trial versions of each application are available from the Palms for Pastors website and registered versions are only $10 each.
