Mobile Ministry Magazine

Its not often that we hear about the other sides of pushing the edges of the envelope and doing things others do not, but in reading an article by the tech/startup blogger Michael Arrington (Tech Crunch), I wanted to ask that we stop for a minute and just (a) pray for Michael and the rest of his team there, and (b) understand that for all the successes that can come to us in this life - whether ministry, tech, or otherwise - that we not forget that people deserve to be treated and honored with integrity. Sure, you might not agree with their point of view, nor how they approach something that you too are passionate about, but these are people too - and not one of us sits on the Judgetment Seat.

If you would, please keep Mr. Arrington in your prayers, and if you do measure to find some encouraging words for him, or even the IT/tech/etc. person around you, please share those words without delay and with all love and consideration that they need it too. Thanks.

While it is great to have a mobile Bible, or at least an electronic one that you can read or study from nearly anyplace. There are some accessories that make using those electronic Bibles a lot easier to deal with. Here are 5 mobile Bible accessories that you should not be caught without:

• Word Processor/Notes Application
  Recommendations: MemoPad (PalmOS), Notes (Windows Mobile, Internet Tablet), MS Word/Google Desktop (laptop, desktop)
• USB key/memory card
  Recommendations: several options, but the general rule is to find the largest size that you can afford, and then go for the next size up via a website like NewEgg or Buy.com. Deals and prices means that space to store and backup information can easily attained.
• Case/laptop bag
  Recommendations: You will want to stuff only so much in your pockets/hands. A nice case will not just keep your hands free, but also protect your devices. In the case of laptops, make sure to find one rated with high shock protection. NotebookReview.com has several models of laptop cases they have reviewed.
• Print Bible
  Recommendations: one small enough to fit in the glove compartment of your car, or a small pocket in your laptop bag for you never know when that power might go out and you want to continue reading.
• Prayer
  Recommendations: seriously, you cannot do anything without this accessory. Get it in when reading, studying, or just out and about (Ephesians 6:18)

What are some of the things you would consider an important accessory to have with your mobile toolkit?
