To those involved in the technology research and development of Kids 4 Truth:

Thank you so much for all you do to help Kids 4 Truth. I am thrilled to be serving the Lord alongside you guys. I am very excited about all that God might have in store for us in the future. I love being on the cutting edge of technology and all that this day and age affords us. What a glorious purpose we have--to communicate the truth to those in need. What a responsibility.

Kids 4 Truth Web "Properties"

I'm often amazed when talking to different people about Kids 4 Truth and the various resources available how many of those people seem to be privy to only one or two sections of the ministry. The fact is, that there are a handful of different websites that are available for people to use which each meet different needs and focus on different issues.

http://www.kids4truth.com - this is our main website and our primary outreach tool. The goal of this site is to effectively communicate Truth about our great God and to point people to Him. It is also to serve as a resource to kids, parents, and others for various kid-focused activities.

http://devos.kids4truth.com - started a few years ago, this is a daily devotional website designed for childrent in grade school. Each day there is a new devotional based on the theme of "It's all about God". As of January of this year, we've added a "listen" link whereby you can listen to an audio version of the devotional and have also provided a podcast feed and listed it in iTunes.

http://clubs.kids4truth.com - this website is an informational site focused on providing information about the Kids 4 Truth Clubs program. This site details the program, provides samples of the matierals (actually, all of the curriculumn is available for viewing online) and explains the philosophy behind the program.

http://equipuclubs.kids4truth.com - this website is a free resource site available to anyone who registers but is particularly beneficial to those people working in Kids 4 Truth Clubs, or whose children are participating in the clubs. On this site you can view training videos, download teacher lesson plans, collaborate with other workers in other programs and much more. If you are involved in a Kids 4 Truth Clubs program and haven't visted this site yet, se storngly recommend that you sign up today.

http://blogs.kids4truth.com - this is a relatively new site that is designed to provide the staff at Kids 4 Truth an informal mechanism of communicating with visitors to the site as well as those utilizing the Kids 4 Truth materials. On this site you'll find a number of blogs such as Bob's Blog (http://bobsblog.kids4truth.com), this technology-focused blog (http://blogs.kids4truth.com/tech) the Support The Ministry blog (http://blogs.kids4truth.com/supporttheministry) and the Clubs Blog (http://blogs.kids4truth.com/clubsblog).

http://store.kids4truth.com - this is the online store from which you can purchase materials for the Kids 4 Truth Clubs as well as any other Kids 4 Truth materials you may be interested in such as tshirts, totes, Bible covers, and much more.

http://www.worldtradehope.com - this is an older site that was created in the wake of the 9/11 attacks in the United States. This site was used to provide materials and resources to both those who suffered directly as a result of that tragedy as well as those who were ministering to them.

Introductory post

This is a new, little-publicized spot on a little corner of the Kids 4 Truth web presence wherein we intend to share various bits of technical knowlege and insight as well as potentially some struggles. As you may be aware, Kids 4 Truth is a technology-heavy organization and we generally aim to use technology as a means to multiply the efforts of our comparatively small team.

It occured to us (I would love to say of our own intuition but it is really more because people have, in a nice way, bugged us) that sharing information on some of the technologies that we use, and some of the reasons behind those choices might be beneficial to others and might help other ministries with their technology issues - hence this blog.

The next few posts will introduce you to the core web properties and internal/external tools that we use as well as begin to introduce some of the new tools that we are looking to deploy in the comming months.

As always, we are glad to answer any questions you might have - you can feel free to contact the team at support@kids4truth.com or me directly at rob@kids4truth.com.
