Mapping International since August of

8 years at GMI was to assist the global
Body of Christ with their electronic

e-mail. He has worked on several overseas
e-mail projects, including ones in the

technical support and documentation. The
training aspect took to him to India,
Lebanon and Cyprus last year, where he
again saw firsthand some of the
technological needs of Christ's workers
