6:17) then you may want to stop and put this atlas down right now. If, on the other hand Jesus’ great commission to “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone” (Mk. 16:15, NKJV) is a command that directs and energizes your steps we believe that this atlas can provide some direction to your feet (or fingertips) as you follow Jesus into this crazy world we live in at the beginning of the 21st century. The Mobile Ministry Forum began its life seven short years ago and, taking a cue from the opening lines of Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities- these last seven years have been a bit of “the best of times” and “the worst of times”.
