In eDOT’s Soul Connection app (still in development), we desire to give believers an opportunity to immerse themselves in a guided time with God’s Word, for the purpose of restoring communion with God. By seeking to immerse the believer in times of interaction with and reflection on God’s Word, the app draws believers into deeper, personal, intimate relationship / communion with God that results in […]
The C2C (Creation to Christ) Story App was created by the eDOT team a few years ago and it’s designed to be a Gospel bridge, a way to move from a secular conversation to a spiritual one. We don’t always know when people use our resources, so we really appreciate the feedback whenever someone lets us know that one of our tools was used and […]
“All that glitters is not gold,” wrote Shakespeare in The Merchant of Venice, and I find that applies to a lot of things in this world. Take Las Vegas, for example: it’s a very glittery place, with lights and action and excitement everywhere, along with an undercurrent of the taboo: What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. In my 34 years in the computer industry, […]
Amazingly, the God of creation chooses to communicate with His fallen and corrupt creation. In the greatest act of love ever seen, He sent his Son to communicate His love for us by dying in our place, taking the punishment that we all deserve once for all. God has communicated this offer of forgiveness through every advance of technology man has devised: from the road […]

Registration is open for ICCM Americas, and friends, you don’t want to miss out. Last year was my first ICCM experience, and while I understand it’s different on every continent, it was easy to get swept up in the ICCM community. ICCM (The International Conference on Computing and Mission) claims to be part spiritual retreat, part tech conference, and part small group. I can attest: […]
During a casual conversation at a recent Greater Europe Mission (GEM) leadership meeting, eDOT was described as an example of a reactive ministry. They didn’t understand eDOT’s core mission and incorrectly assumed that our purpose is to be GEM’s IT department in Europe and that we fix computers. Is eDOT a reactive ministry? A proactive ministry? What’s the difference, and why is it important? To […]
We’ve shared a lot about our upcoming Hackathon and realize many of you may be curious as to what a Hackathon actually entails. In short, a Hackathon is an event in which multiple people meet to engage in collaborative computer programming. The event will often last several days and include long blocks of work time. When we asked the team what people need to know before […]
Help us meet our goal on November 29th With the popularity of Black Friday and the recent emergence of Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday gives holiday shoppers the opportunity to give to a worthy cause during the holiday season. This year, our Giving Tuesday goal is to raise $1,000. All Giving Tuesday gifts will go toward Hackathon Kandern 2017. Hackathon Kandern is a short-term missions opportunity for […]
I’m often asked how eDOT fits into the greater structure of Greater Europe Mission. Are we an IT department supporting our headquarters? Are we some sort of rogue group operating independently? The confusion stems from the fact that traditional missionaries are often called to a specific people group in a specific area. Together, missionaries in that area are then defined in the organizational term of […]
