Mobile Ministry Magazine

Sitting at a coffeehouse while typing this on an N800 Internet Tablet is pretty neat. But in doing so, I have this idea that this should be only a part of what I do to engage the tech.

I was asked last night about some of my goals, and one of them is to make a full transistion from one who acquires tech knowledge and is known for doing so, to a person who is empowering others through technology, whether they are mobile, technological, or something else entirely. I look at what Bill Gates is doing in his stepping down from Microsoft to work for his foundation that will be seeking to educate and find cures for those diseases that sap the life from developing communities. This is the kind of transistion that I want to make, and I am finally feeling like this is possible.

As a ministry, MMM is a resource that aims to educate Christians on ways of using mobile technology as parts of their own ministry endavors. We've transistioned the content though from being so instructional though to purpose and effectiveness driven. Where we speak on those issues that relate to life and faith at the intersection of technology, and then what are our responses - whether that is is educating, empowering, or warning. As a user and analyist of this stuff, I feel like taking it to that step further. That step where the mobile tech is an agent of the change that brings all that Christ is to those around me.

As a user, this excites me. As a Christian though, this sparks me.
