2015 Mobile Ministry Consultation Executive Summary

De Betteld Retreat Center, Zelhelm, Holland, April 17-18, 2015

Opportunity

“Mobile is the first personal mass medium.”  

Tomi Ahonen shared this at the 2015 Mobile Ministry Consultation. Forbes ranked Tomi as #1 in their list of global “mobile influencers.” Mobile device technology is changing lives, families, cultures, and nations around the world at a rate that no other technology has in human history. The mobile device presents a unique, two-way communication channel that represents the most important technology available for kingdom advancement.

Overview
