I had another post set to go for this day. Then that incident with EJ happened (see Twitter, Dec 6th tweets) and I had to sit and ask more seriously, “in what ways am I asking for MMM to be supported?”
The first part of that answer is easy. If you are doing mobile in ministry, I can guarantee you that there are very few (individual) people in this space (overall ministries working in this space is certainly getting larger by the moment). With the exception of one person whom I can’t mention, the others don’t have the experince, technical knowledge, or depth across all identified areas of ministry which have had specific mobile activity. If you are doing mobile in ministry – development, content, missions, evangelism, pastorate, etc. – consulting with MMM is worth your time and expense. You can go about it other ways, but I’d encourage you to support MMM when looking at whomever else you are looking for towards mobile.
The other part is closer to the core of things. We used to give away mobiles. Having given away the last “extra” mobile in December of this year, I’m empty. We give the mobile to a person/ministry in need with training. There’s no cost to you (or them, in some cases) for this. Mobile ministry can only happen when people are freed from the constraints of what they don’t know and can just be free in the Spirit to use the tech to push the Kingdom forward. If you’ve got a dusty mobile, or even an old one. We’d not just find a home for it, but ensure that its used before it leaves our possession.
Lastly, partnership. We’ve been talking with a few folks in the past months about what partnetship with MMM looks like. The connections and knowledge here are unique, and worth such an endeavor. If a partnership can be mutually beneficial, we owe it to fulfilling John 17:20-26 to make it work. In doing so, all of us gain.
No, we don’t build your apps or websites. We’ll help you get there, such that you can teach someone else and enable your ministries to succcessfully use mobile. We need your support to continue to do that. Simple as that.
