Mobile in the Next 10yrs

Mobile will be the primary avenue for telling the church's story over the next 10yrs
Mobile increases the church's need to have cross-functional knowledge of culture and context
Censorship and copyright will drive mobile sharing of religious texts to innovative solutions
Mobile will be vilified and affirmed by traditionally-minded church and lay leaders
Education + genuine faith + mobile = education and community redefined (Africa, SE Asia, and Global South)

[additional notes]

Seek to understand both mobile web and SMS behaviors and services (Google Calendar, mGive, Facebook, specalized service offerings, etc.)
Understand and set foundational knowledge for parents and their mobile kids (communication, stewardship, etc.)
Example: Bulgarian Mobile Bible School (communication, accountability, stewardship, context, community, etc.)
