Some time back, we announced the MobMin.Info portal – a simple resource portal to much of what’s happening within this space we call mobile ministry. Since its unveiling, there have been a few updates to it, and we want to highlight those items, as well as the updates that have happened most recently:

• The addition of a Videos section – pointing to several videos which speak directly to mobile ministry (definition, activities, and trends)
• The addition and refinement to the Bible Apps and Dev & Services sections for more platform-specific content – so if you are trying to build or deploy something, this is a one-stop-shop for those resource links
• An updating to the Articles, News & Discussions sections links – adding a bit more of what’s happening in social networking spaces (if anyone has a mobile ministry specific link for Facebook, please send that and we’ll get that there too
• Setting up the page to act like a mobile app – so that you can access this when offline, and if needed, you can utilize your mobile device’s ability to send links to others (via SMS, Email, or Bluetooth) for those items which might be applicable to them; this feature uses the HTML 5 Application Cache feature, and has been implemented as a beta/experiment play (this might not work on your device)

Hopefully, this is something that can serve to help you better understand what mobile ministry is about. And if you are looking to develop, this kind of page can potentially serve as a template to guide you towards how to translate content into a mobile-friendly view (for example, this portal page uses elements from Modernizr, jQuery, and Google Analytics in concert with a UI custom design).

If you have any additional items that should be added here, please get in contact with us so that we can update accordingly. To view this portal, simply point your browser to http://mobmin.info
