Our gift is the ability to teach people and computers how to learn the Bible like a baby and a little child. Teaching the computer how to learn is especially important because once it has learned something it can backtrack and give all of the evidence and reasons for what it has learned thus empowering us to learn things that are too difficult for some such as the original language. In addition we give food, clothing, electrical generators, clean water and other physical needs, but we work with those who receive so that they will also give to others. We also provide education in tribal languages, Indonesian, and English for new life. We don't just give handouts. We bless, empower, and enable disaster victims to teach and bless others. | ||
