Hey I have great news. Did you know that if you have a computer you can start making money right now ? I started this job 3 weeks ago and i've gotten 2 checks for a total of $3150 and that is enough to comfortably replace my old jobs income, especially considering I only work about 10-13 hours a week from home. dijlyfp...swiz
What if i promised to show you how to easily put $200 - $500 per day into your bank account, working from the comfort of your home. What if I also told you that what we teach has been proven over and over again to make serious money for anyone, regardless of skills, experience, age, or location?

Needed: Web programmers (Javascript, PHP, XML) able to help us integrate instant messaging into MediaWiki in order to provide communication services for distributed teams using Door43 to create discipleship resources. More here: http://en.door43.org/wiki/Development:In

Have you ever thought about what it takes to "go global" with content, making it available in other languages? Translators, translation checking, publishing rights, copyrights, royalties, etc can result in a lot of time and money. But then there is also the "Open Process" that can be faster, better, virtually free and ...without restrictions on distribution or converting the content to new formats.

“Going global” is the process of making content available in other languages. When someone has created a discipleship resource in their own language (e.g. a book, radio program, seminar, video, etc.) and wants it to be available for use by speakers of other languages, there are two processes that ca...

Did you know this? The number of mobile phones in use in the world today just passed the 5 billion mark (71% of the world's population).

The number of mobile connections worldwide reached five billion in the first week of July, according to research from The Mobile World.
Distant Shores Media It's been great to get in touch recently with pastors in the mid-West and introduce the vision of DSM and the Door43 project. Now that Door43 is ready for use, sharing the vision with others and inviting them to help create resources for the global church is high priority.

Why are unrestricted (aka "free & open") discipleship resources a key part of the future of global discipleship strategies? Before attempting to answer this question, it is important to understand the context in which it is being addressed:
