Mobile Ministry Magazine

I have been thru some interviews in the past weeks (thanks Dad) and many times, when the subject of what drives me comes up, I tell people that its the ability of the Internet to connect people in various places amongst sometimes the smallers of interests. The web is really kool like that. And I don't even think that we are anywhere near the place where the net can actually be consider a fabric of our lives (on a global scale, it is for 1st world countries however). I don't think its at all necessary, its just an issue that communication and technology has evolved this much, and we have a responsiblity to be good stweards over this medium, and more so to extend the grace of God to all that we come across (online and offline).

The way my mind works, mobile tech can help do little things that make big things all the more possible (Google thinks the same way, so I am in good company perhaps). A pastor over 20+ churches in Africa can coordinate with contacts in the Americas and EU no matter where on the Africian content they are for prayer or a call for finances for an emergency situation. A medical missionary has at their fingertips the latest in drug news that might be a life saver for an entire community, and at the same time while away from their family can say hello and send pics to spouses, parents, etc. Some of what is possible, yes. But its all there.

It's All There

When I was younger, the Ragu commerical used to come on and its phrase was "its all there." The flavor, the ingredients you need, everything but the spagetti noodles were all there. All you had to do was open the jar and pour it out. No matter where you sit in the Body, the same thing applies. You have this temple and the Holy Spirit dwells within you. You have a mobile phone, a PDA, or you have the finances or time to support missionaries or local ministries. You have the ability in ya, pour it out so that the world gets a taste of Jesus.
