Mobile Ministry Magazine

This Sunday, two things happened in my sphere that showed me something difficult and at the same time advantageous concerning mobile.

The first one was a list of 40 people who are considered to be today's most influential minds to watch in mobile. Now, while some of those names and companies I recognize, there were many areas that I did not. Being an analyst by trade, I started wondering about that list and where are some of those fields that are mobile, but not necessarily marketing and telecom. I think there's room at this inn ;)

But even in the mist of that, I got pushed to the other side of mobile. My pastor's son asked me to help him understand the T9 functionality of his mobile phone. Simple right? Well, to some. But to him it was a revelation in how to write and see words not just as letters but as simpler actions. He really got so bright in the face on that simple lesson that it brought perspective to all these things mobile, as well as the list noted above.

No matter what we are doing, there's always going to be some effected in a positive or negative way. But the really cool thing is to be an influencer, and to not get the widespread applause of an industry, but of a generation of users who will simply want to learn something new. For my intersection of faith and mobile that day, it was that realization that has me seeing clearer still how God positions us all over the Body to effect His people for His good.
