webmaster to paste in selected portions from Missions on the Web and your church will have easy access
to so much of what they need to catch, build and run with a world vision!

technicians to come to your next on-field missionary conference and fix
missionaries' computers? Here's a group of mission technology support
agencies that have discovered a good way to involve IT folk in short
term mission trips and really bless the missionaries they serve, by
fixing their computers. They are currently trying to identify
conferences that they can help, especially those in Asia/Pacific and
Central & South America. If you know of a suitable conference then
please let them know about it, including the contact details of the
organisers. Email David for Asia/Pacific
and Shawn for the rest of the globe.

USING TECHNOLOGY TO FACILITATE WORKING TOGETHER
Wycliffe Bible Translators offers a good example with their Enterprise Architecture:
(from an article by Peter Wang.)
Their vision is "to see different parts of the worldwide church effectively
linked together as partners, participating in meaningful ways in the Bible
translation movement, and supported by up-to-date technologies to allow
every person to effectively and efficiently carry out their strategic role".
One approach to determining one's approach to personal response to Jesus' Great Commission:
1 - Research the Christian status of countries around the world.
2 - Which country/people group do I feel called towards?
3 - What organisations work with that people group?
-- Chris Baxter, Australia 7'03
