Mobile Ministry Magazine

One of the music artists that I like to hear rap and preach is named The Ambassador. He takes his name from 2 Cor: 5: 20 ("...Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us, we pray you in Christ's stead, to be reconciled to God."). I like that verse for a few reasons, but the key one is that it speaks of us being an ambassador, not simply for blessings and benefits, but for the fact that our representation of Christ is what leads people around us to want to be reconciled to Him.

Its like having a new phone or mobile device and your friends see it, and then they want it (or something very close to it). You, in effect, become a beacon of what it is that people want. And by no fault of your own, but because of what it is that you are carrying and how you are using it, people are finding a new joy and potential about life that they had previously not seen.

Now imagine if God's directing our use of mobile tech. Just imagine the kind of beacon that is. And better yet, think of when you are using and putting technology in a place where you are free to move with God whether that is an area of teaching, or just a place where you are quiet under Him to hear and respond in intercession.

This week, consider the effect that your life has had because of and with mobile tech. And just think, a Christ-focused approach to using it makes for a life-giving outlook to those around you. Just like an ambassador.
