Mobile Ministry Magazine

We have been talking a good bit about how mobile computing can lend itself to being more effective in ministry and missions. This is of particular interest to many pastors and missionaries because of the mobile nature of their weekly work, and the fact that sometimes, its better to get out and be amongst people, instead of in between the pew and the kneeler.

Here are some of the links to posts on this subject over the past week plus:
- Taking the Ministry on the Road
- Mobile Security at 1src
- Speaking of Mobile Offices
- More of the Mobile Office, MMM Tweaking
- Girls Gone Mobile Continues A Tale of Two Offices

So where does that leave us in our discussion and where can we go from here? For one, we have to consider the thought again of whether we are called to simply use technology just to make integrating with culture and life easier for us, or if in using this technology, we are called to take out a significant piece of our use and empower others who (regardless of tech or not) need a dosage of community and healing that the People of God have been called to bring to them.

And then what when we bring it to them? Where do we go with this Gospel once tech has enabled us to preach to every man, woman, and child? When we have been able to do reach from our pocketbooks and share finances and enablement to the disenfranchised? I would think that it puts us in that place of the church that Jesus is coming back for. In effect, we go tech because its another means to share with those who don't have the least, that there is Life available for them.
