Our technology ministry is a global ministry providing bible translations, bible teaching and training, and technical expertise through the use of digital media and internet ministry. Examples are: (1) mobile advertising campaign to inform communities outside the us of the availability of scripture in their language. Free scripture downloads were offered to those who responded to advertising. (2) free online theological training. Online theological training websites have been produced that are mobile friendly and offer a free one year theological training course for students outside the us. (3) consulting and training in use of mobile technology for outreach and scripture distribution was provided for free to multiple groups and organizations. Digital and app developments continue in new languages and locations and are now available on all continents except antarctica. Additionally, a new theological app was created and is in the final stages of testing for global distribution. Our technology ministry has completed the first phase of its growth and finalized that step by creating its own 501(c)(3) entity.
