Since the Visual Story Network Summit last month, I’ve had a number of happenings around things related to MMM and outside ministry interests. So much so, that I’ve had to restart some prayers towards increasing my time and attention towards MMM and these other pieces.

Until a decision is made though, there are a few notes about the Visual Story Network that I’d like to share in the hopes that you, or those whom you live/minister with who are involved in the visual arts would have an additional outlet towards life and ministry.

The first item of note is that there are several initiatives that have come out of the September summit. These have galvanized into virtual groups that have met a few times already in many cases. These groups are all designed around the idea that media platforms are moving from just preaching and printing platforms, to a platform that also portrays Christ. Check out the Groups section of VSN and read some about what is going on.

Another item – more along the mobile angle – is that of the investigation of what a mobile media ministry/platform looks like. I sat in on half of a call with a few other folks who are interested in this, and there’s a group started and notes from that call. Check it out and get involved if you are interested in this. One thing that I can say from just sitting in on the call is that its very important that MMM does a better job of presenting examples of what has been and will be working in this area. Its a huge world of mobile to cover.

Lastly, I want to remind you to stay tuned to VSN as next year’s summit seems as if it will be much deeper and bigger than this year’s. I’ve just got a feeling that the next one isn’t one to be missed and will further encourage, equip, and empower a lot of missions and missionaries, local and global, for Christ. And who knows, maybe more folks will be presenting towards the effect of mobile 😉
