 Ministry in the Palm of Your Hand2003-02-25 Their passion is technology used for God. Their method is to inform people about and make available software and products for handheld computers. As stated on their website, Handheld Ministry makes it their goal to “show people and ministries how handheld computers can be used to help them be more effective and productive in reaching and discipling people for Jesus Christ.” Who are they? Handheld Ministry was established in 2000 as part of a group called Discovery Ministry based in Minnesota. The group was born out of a passion to “incorporate technology in ministry”, according to their website (link below). It was Tim Drenk’s passion, formerly with Campus Crusade for Christ and now with Discovery Ministry. What do they offer? Handheld Ministry promotes the use of handheld palm pilots and software. They provide related services, information, technical advice and products for pastors and other Christians who want to know more about technology available to them. Handheld Ministry provides software downloads for palm units, much of which is free – such as Palm Reader, Big Clock, Currency, or Avantgo – or very inexpensive (from around $10 and up). They offer software in six different categories: Ministry, graphics, communications, productivity, utilities, and travel. Hardware devices are not sold directly at the Handheld Ministry website, but they provide information about such products and links to the pages where they can be purchased from. “Handheld computers are designed to make life more productive. We want to help people leverage that ability to make them more productive in ministry. “We see two main areas where handheld devices can make you more productive. The first is leadership/ministry tools and skills including spiritual growth and information management… The second area is transferable content and material, including witnessing, discipleship, and ministering to others. Handheld devices can also help you witness, disciple, and minister to others by having resources immediately available and having the ability to distribute material easily.” Handheld Ministry Can Help You “We can help you incorporate handheld devices into your ministry through several different affordable services. We offer consulting services to help identify your needs, train those involved, create and deploy customized solutions, and support the project. We offer training seminars on how to make the most of your handheld device and how to utilize its power for ministry. We also offer technical support for all types of handheld devices. We provide quality services to churches and ministries who often are unable to afford them. In order to make the benefits of handheld devices available to you, we provide consulting services based on a sliding fee scale.” To learn more about Handheld Ministry and how they can help you, visit the link below.
