Mobile Ministry Magazine

Probably one of the biggest issues that I have in just sitting in any assembly of believers is that idea of finding others who are as hype about tech and ministry as I am. No, not saying that everyone should be, there are different gifts that we all need to be able to express in the Body. But it is somewhat disheartening that there is very little attention given in many churches to those who like computers, mobile technology, computer games, or anything else IT (that is not just cautions against covetiousness and idoltry).

So in some respects, I don't want to rant about it, but then again, I realize that MMM is in a really interesting position. Not only do we cover the outs and abouts of mobile technology, but we are also blessed with a team of people (and an even bigger slew of readers) who are passionate about technology, and would like nothing more than to see people everywhere use it to the glory of God and the benefit of all. Some of them even go as far as just being quite enterprising about their mobile tech to other

Something that is needed, is some sort of curriculim that can be given to ministries who want to use mobile and Internet technology that would not just outline uses, but also skillful and God-honoring practices. I mention skillful because many parts of the Body have someone(s) who are into technology, but they are not encouraged to go to school and then return to that Body in the capacity of building it up. And then I mention God-honoring because beyond the usable and accessible end of things, there needs to be a seperate (holy as a term if you will) focus about using technology that speaks to the needs of those who are missing the Gospel, as well as to those who are investigating the Gospel.

And then in addition to that curriculm, there would need to be a resource place (online and eventually offline) where people can get resources, recieve training, or just in general get out and go with that God-honoring, IT passion of theirs.

What I see in terms of technology is simply that there is much ministry to be given with and because of it, but I want to ask you (reader), will you be willing to teach someone about your passion in the hope that what God has gifted you with can be a spark to a whole community of people investing in Jesus for their eternal reward?
