Mobile Ministry Magazine

Far be it from me to keep everything a secret here for long, but I am working with one of MMM's partners on a task that will change MMM's backend from being Blogger-based to using Movable Type. Of course in this kind of change, doing a redesign was also a part of the equasion and I even found a website whom I wanted to emulate their design (it was just that clean and effective).

I've decided not to use their design, however, in speaking with that site's owner, I was given an idea for a segment here at MMM that would really be effective in helping all of us do a bit more with our mobiles and time as it relates to living the Gospel around us. So call this part one of a (hopefully) five-part series where we will be covering two items (software, hardware, and/or services) and how they can help you be more effective in sharing and living out the Gospel. So with that all said, let's get into the first two items:

Software: Laridian's MyBible Bible Reader software for PalmOS, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, Windows desktops, and (soon) iPhone.
Sharing and growing more intimate with God is the name of the game with Laridian's offerings. From being able to read the Word anywhere, to doing comparative studies of difficult passages, Laridian has some of the most comprehensive offerings out there. Download at the Laridian website (www.laridian.com).

Service: Email. Short of talking face to face, email is the most ubquious aspect of a service that we use to connect with one another. From Google, Hotmail, and Yahoo, to smaller offerings, to Exchange hosed offerings, email is a big mover of the Internet, and using email effectively can bolster relationships with those you might not have face time with. I do caution, there is nothing worse than sending a ton of forwards and never a personal note; keeping items personal, to the point, and withou excess fluff makes email a more usable and less a burden to the reader.

Ok, so that is part one of our look at software/hardware and services that help better share the Gospel. In part two we'll take a look at two more items.

If you have software, hardware, or a service that would be effective in talking about in this series, please use our contact form to let us know. In the meantime, get out there and share Christ with someone.
