Mobile Ministry Magazine

Hello MMM readers;
I hope that the pause since the last post has not been too jarring. I am still in a good bit of transistion in terms of moving into Charlotte, and have really tried to cut down my after-work computer time. I'll be pretty loose with postings for the next few weeks still as I wil be settling down into an apt later this week. But hey, that doesn't mean that there aren't still things that come up from time to time.

I had the thought of doing some kind of writeup that talks about various subjects we come across in ministry where technology is under-utilized, or not correctly used and just some ways of working through that. It will take a good bit of work on my part and those will be longer (sometimes) pieces that dig in and ask for comments, so its something that at this point is just a thought. I would like to know what you would think of that, so please do lend some ideas on howa serries like that would be beneficial to you.

Did you know that less than 10% of internet use is actualyl producing something. The rest of it is simply reading and collecting. I ran across that stat and it gave a bit of peace about sites like MMM, CNN, etc which are largly knowledge-bases and from there they (should) empower you to be more responsive towards a particular issue. I hope that MMM has been doing that for you, but I know that sometimes we fall short there. So don't be afraid to let me know either via a comment or the contact form that we could be doing betterr.

One of the team members mentioned that doing more partnerships would be beneficial. I heartly agree. If you or you know of a ministry that would be willing to partner with MMM, and (Lord willing) do some events together, please let me know so that we can get the ball rolling. There is a whole city of folks here in Charlotte that could use some pointers on how to address the spiritual and community needs of this area and beyond, and lending our knowledge in the technical side of things is one way we can encourage one another.

Of course, nothing replaces prayer. So if all you want to do is pray together, let me know that too and we can do that either over email or voice calling, or if time and location wills, we can meet up. Connect via the MMM Jaiku channel if you just want to leave a note to just be prayed for/pray with. And let's go from there.

So as you can tell, I am full of thoughts. And if you read my personal site, you will also see that I haven't been writng there for about a week either. Lots fo transisiton going on, and something (and some people) gives me the feeling that God isn't quite done with getting me set up here. Which is good, nothing like God making us mobile enough to be used for His purposes and glorify His name :)
