There is a huge need in Europe for more trained Christian workers. Therefore one of eDOT’s principal goals is the creation of a collection of computer-based ministry training courses that our European partners can use to train young men and women who are unable to attend a traditional Bible institute, college or seminary. Often they are already busy in minist

I remember learning basic office skills on the first “computers” (no color screen, no hard drive, no DVD, no internet, Tandy/Radio Shack model 80s—affectionatly: TRaSh 80s) in high schools. During one lesson, the student next to me questioned the value of learning computer skills—her computer was giving her a hard time. In

eDOT has joined this team in setting up a Mobile Outreach Center in Zaporozhye, Ukraine. That is 8 laptop computers that we will be able to conduct computer classes with. These classes are designed to teach computer skills but as well we will use the classes to draw people to us so that we can share the truth of the Lord and invite non-believers to discipleship classes.
In the next few months we have scheduled two week long computer classes/outreaches in several remote villages. Then in the fall we will conduct the computer classes during the week at the center. We are praying many non-believers will come to these classes; this is a way for us to introduce them to the churches that will be offering the classes.
We also have several of the MOC computers setup in the center for people to come in and use like an Internet cafe. Wednesday evenings we’ve used the center for showing videos (Ones with a Christian theme) and afterwards a discussions time. And Friday evenings are set aside for

Whether you’re building a bridge, assembling scaffolding, or mounting the wings on an airplane, you need nuts and bolts–small but important elements that hold the whole thing together. You usually don’t see them, but they’re crucial to the building’s strength and purpose. My work with eDOT is nuts and bolts—helping to develop graphics to create appeal within the online courses and formatting the text to compose an easy-to-follow structure within the course.
Currently I’m involved in adjusting these “nuts and bolts” for a Biblical Preaching course. That has involved creating colorful graphics and charts to help explain an abstract concept, such as this:
I will also spend hours adjusting the “nuts and bolts

Recently Jim and I were able to spend time installing an Internet Cafe as a part of The Anchorage Project in the inner city of Dublin, Ireland. The director there is an Irishman named Joseph Donnelly who grew up in this part of Dublin and can tell stories of what its like to live in this area. He knows it; he lived it. He knows there’s a loss of hope in his town now more apparent than ever as the recession is taking a nasty toll on the economics of Ireland.
Several years ago, the board of directors of an old mission house approached

Have you ever wondered if there’s a way to speed up the process of evangelizing your community, your region, your country, and the world?
One simple solution would be to mobilize more Christians to share their salvation story with the people around them—people in their circles of influence.
That simple solution is the basis for a new outreach training pr

One of the best things about being a missionary with eDOT is hearing how the Lord has used something that we have created to impact someone’s life. Right now, I am in Ukraine, visiting some of our partners. Last week I spoke with 2 former students who have taken our distance learning Bible courses through Zaporozhye Bible College and Seminar. Here’s what they reported!
Genia – “At the time I became a believer in 2007, I had my own business and it was impossible to study at a Bible school. The online cour

Can you imagine what it would be like to help Russian speaking people all over the world grow in their relationship with the Lord. This past week we had a meeting with a long time partner of ours to explore that question. This partner has been working with over 35,000 Russian speaking people over the years in

Trudging through the mud filled streets, a horse drawn cart splashes by as you enter through a black gate simply labeled “Internet”. You make your way through the courtyard kicking the mud from your shoes then enter the whitewashed building. Next you enter a room where people are actively sitting in front of monitors, clicking on the keyboards. Some are researching school projects, others are emailing and IM’ing with loved ones who have moved away, while others are producing marketing signage f
