Mobile Ministry Magazine (MMM)

Mobile Ministry Magazine (MMM) is online magazine asking questions, presenting approaches, and experimenting around stories related to the implications of faith and mobile technologies.

History

Began in October 2004 as a PDF-based magazine to pastors, MMM has expanded to become a web blog which utilizes associate writers, technology reviews, devotionals, and editorials to create the unique content which assists individuals, organizations, and movements to better understand the implications of faith and mobile technologies.

Today, MMM serves to send and receive information around the use and discussion of the implications of mobile technology within faith-based communities. This is done in one respect by the magazine and its collection of mobile applications and resources. In addition, MMM shares knowledge, resources, and understanding through the use of workshops, training sessions, and speaking engagements.

Location isn’t a limitation to mobile, but an enablement to our message about it.

Relevance

Technology is only relevant when it is personal – Jay Noggle

Mobile Ministry Magazine (MMM) is relevant today, as it was over seven years ago when it started because of the pervasiveness of mobile devices and connected services worldwide. As of 2011, there are over 5 billion cellular mobile accounts utilized over 4 billion mobile devices globally. There has been no technology that has grown as fast and as far as mobile devices, and yet its growth doesn’t imply an understanding of its implications. From instant communication, to the economies of communication versus basic living needs, mobile technologies have truly changed how we view and interact with our world.

The greater faith community has the challenge of understanding a world where broadcast isn’t the only option for media and communication engagement. As this is the second mass media channel which is participatory (Internet being the first), understanding how mobile effects, amplifies, challenges, or changes faith-based efforts is key not just to delivering the message of the Gospel, but living in a world where people are more often taking on the responsibility to be the filters of messages on a personal level. Whether one is sending or receiving Christ, understanding mobile is now more key than ever. We exist to help ministries and organizations to get that understanding.
