Mobile Ministry Magazine (MMM)

In the latest issue of The International Journal of Frontier Missions, there’s a look at the use of and the impacts towards ministry engagements in the mission field in the article The Little Phone that Could: Mobile-Empowered Ministry. Here’s a snippet:

…After the commemorative dinner in the morning tent, Abu Mohammed took the role of emcee for the evening, regaling us with tales of his hunting exploits and the skills he had used to track down and kill his prey. I was amazed when he produced a mobile phone from his pocket and pulled up a video shown him brandishing his scoped hunting rifle as he posed next to various animals he had bagged. Wow! Not only had this forty-something “man’s man” embodying the ideas of his people taken his video clips and assembled them into an impressive show on his phone, but he had even added a popular local tune in the background. Yes, I had known that the mobile phone was making tremendous inroads among these people, but this meshing of all that was truly and agelessly representative of their culture with the latest and greatest of the 21^st century took my breath away!
