Mobile Ministry Magazine (MMM)

A few days ago on Twitter, I came across Jeremiah Fyffe and a tweet that he posted:

PLEASE RETWEET :: I’m having a BOOK SALE to fund my church planting mobile office :: fyffe.me/booksale

That one caught my eye because it wasn’t just someone looking to get their book into more hands, but for the purpose of them getting rid of the office attachment so that they could be more active in their local community. Here’s his response when I asked if he meant the tech or a literal change in work-location/perspective:

@mobileminmag Basically jettison the traditional pastor’s office for technology enabling work anywhere and especially in the community… Will enjoy being closer to the people I want to meet.

This short tweet conversation set me to smile for several hours. Not only was this a person taking advantage of the technology at hand, but utilizing it in such a way that would allow them to pastor more effectively. And while I’m quite aware that this isn’t a shift that many pastors can do, to see someone take the jump like this – and be self-funded by selling their book – makes me fell that we’ve got some company in another aspect of mobile ministry.

I’d encourage you to check out Jeremiah Fyffe (website, @JeremiahFyffe) and to purchase his book. He is using the funds from his book sales to purchase the tech tools that he believes he’ll need to work best within this mobile office context .

If you have been thinking about going this route (a mobile office) or are already acting within your mobile office (whether successfully or not), let us know some of your experiences in the comments.
