your ministry can do to leave
the unbeliever with something
on their phone after that
interaction. In terms of spiritual
life and discipleship, consider
how you can help believers
redeem their in-between
moments through scripture,
teaching and music input via

answer could be right there on
their phone’s screen. How will
your mobile ministry help in
those circumstances?

Not quite! It doesn’t matter a bit
if you have the perfect outreach if
people never learn of its existence.
Discovery and distribution are
two aspects of mobile ministry
that must be thought through and
worked out from the beginning of
project planning.
How can you help ensure that your
mobile ministry gets discovered
and distributed among your people
group? First, find out how other
media products are discovered and
distributed. Where do people go in
order to get their media needs met?
Is it a particular corner kiosk or
phone store that everyone goes to
