If you travel or are interested in a missions trip, you might be surprised to learn how much you could teach someone who hasn’t had as much exposure to computers as you have (even when you might think you aren’t qualified in this area). You may do some things on a regular basis on your computer that you don’t even think twice about and yet you might tell your friends that you’re not comfortable with technology.

Travel

If you’re going overseas, could you add a little one-on-one computer training with some of our overseas national staff wives?  They may have limited options for ministry, however, your time with these staff sisters could go a LONG way in helping them with their computer skills and opening up ministry opportunities for them.

NOTE: If you want to take some of your old technology with you to donate to our staff overseas, you’ll have to get approval from the legal office at headquarters first.

I just ran across this Jesus Film mission trip to teach English and computer skills over...

Malle, I discovered, was from Estonia. Someone had convinced her she could go door-to-door in the blistering Florida summers and sell educational encyclopedias for a summer job.

I had to run back into the house a few times as I was helping my kids paint the hall and they were waiting for me to bring in some more paint. On my first trip back in the house, I clicked on the internet and went to find The Four Spiritual Laws in Estonian. I clicked “print” and went back out where Malle was waiting.

After a little more conversation, I went back in and printed the web site page for the Jesus Film in Estonian and gathered up the Estonian Four Laws. I was on the same page with God by now and eager to see where our conversation would lead.

I handed Malle the Gospel in her own language. . . (Read the entire story on The Sower: July 9, 2006).

Your computer is a valuable resource for presenting the Gospel to people whose first language is not English.

You can print a Gospel presentation in other lan...

You can help add to this list of Campus Crusade for Christ ministries’ Facebook pages.   Just comment below.

This list is more of a general list.  Having all the pages from campuses around the world would be too much to maintain, for instance, but if your campus ministry’s page works very well with your students, and would be helpful for others to learn how to set up their own pages, I’ll be glad to add your campus page to this list.  I obviously can’t include every ministry or every  country ministry, so hopefully, you will be able to find more ministries through searches, too.

Thanks for helping populate this list. You will help others find Campus Crusade ministries, staff, and resources.

On February 4th, I decided to add a new feature, ClustrMaps, which tracks visitors to three of my blogs and helps me know what countries my readers are from.  Within just three weeks, I could see that I had visitors from every continent to one of my popular blogs, The Sovereign!  (Click here to see the list of countries.  This blog has had 12,500 visitors since December of 2006.)

I also look at WordPress statistics to see what people are reading.  I am using the list of countries from ClustrMaps and the statistics from WordPress to plan more evangelistic links and some future foreign language translations for the most visited posts.  For instance, two popular pages on our Family News blog, “God Knows Who You Should Marry” has had over 500 readers and “When Your First Child Leaves Home for College,” over 300.  In these true stories, I point my visiting readers to God.  This summer, I am hoping to get at least a Spanish and a German translation of these articles, and more, if my family and fri...

TntMPD is a free software that helps you manage your relationships with your donors.  I highly recommend TntMPD to manage your names, addresses, email addresses, birthdays and anniversaries.   For those of you not keeping track of ministry partners, TntMPD is still a great contact management tool.

Just to give you that little nudge to start using TntMPD, I’ll try to think of everything I use it for.  I used other software for over 15 years, but I would not go back.  TntMPD does all that the other (pricey) software did and actually does more.  It’s easy to manage my database of almost 700 names!

• keep a task list of who needs a phone call, letter, etc.
• receive automatic tasks for thank you notes when new gifts come in or if I have not written a thank you for over a year
• track fund appeal efforts
• keep a history of appointments, phone calls, emails, etc.
• receive address changes from Campus Crusade’s Donor Services
• merge information into Word and Excel (also CSV files) for personalized letters and envel...
