ICCM '96 Session Notes

"Project Updates 1"

Back to ICCM '96 Program

• Faith Academy (Philippines) now has a mail hub in operation. There are about 70 users in a number of sites. In the last week about 10Mb of mail has gone through.
• Roger Johnstone - Mission Computer Update newsletter can be received by E-Mail by contacting mcu@xc.org.
  He also has a page on the Web for missionaries to start looking for information on the Web. He would like to know about any useful sources so that they can index them.

• David Ashby - Mission Possible focused on Eastern Europe. Developed a four year pastoral and four year Christian worker's course. Now translated into many Eastern European languages, and they are trying to distribute it. They are looking for ways to do it more cheaply, and also looking for sponsorship. There is also a Web site to look at.
• Phil Barker - Moody Bible Institute - Web Page for Christian activity during the Olympics.
• University of the Nations (YWAM) runs a modular training program.
  Project 1 - they would like to run a 12 week full time school for training the Generation X for IT in mission.
  Project 2 - the team behind musicam mail are Christians. There will be discussions on using this for remote learning in Reno, Nevada next week. How can we do this cheaply so that the third world can get involved.
• Pete Holzmann - Interactive Task Force. The local church is getting mobilized to use their secular skills for missions worldwide. For example, summarizing meetings so that a summary can be received by mission Leaders whose E-Mail costs are high.
