We use technology to spread the Gospel and help build the church in Europe. Watch this video (about 6 Minutes long) to understand why technology is such a great method for telling about an unchanging God.

The saying goes something along these lines - “If you provide a man with a fish, then he is fed for a day but teach a man to fish then he is fed for a lifetime.” There are many in this world who are visionaries. They know how to provide for their families but are unable to find the financial resources to see their visions out. Are they needing thousands of dollars to do it? No. On average, they just need $650 whether its to buy vegetables to resell in the markets of Togo or supplies for a restaurant in Nigeria or children’s shoes in Bolivia . In our Western mind set, this is not very much money but because of a method called “Microfinancing” and a website called Kiva (which means “Unity” in Swahili), its easy for anyone in the world with a little bit of pocket change (as little as $25) to invest in one of these businesses. Yes, I said “INVEST” - not give away but to be an investor in these businesses. With enough $25 (or more) investments, whole country economies can be changed.

So check it out at Kiva.org and read the Yahoo article about its founders.

For me, this is a great way that “out of the box” thinking and technology, specifically the web, can be used to better mankind.

The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me’ (Matthew 25:37 NIV)

My thoughts are like lightning - great flashes of light from heaven; with long spans of darkness in between.

From Courtney: I would agree with this statement.

Just taking some time to learn more with Photoshop and brushes. Here is a couple of my afternoon play items:

Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid. Human beings are incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant. Together they are powerful beyond imagination.
