Utilize technology to be on the cutting edge of adding new churches and individuals doing the Christian kindness ministry,.
Utilize technology to create a social network of existing churches and individuals doing the P.A.C.K.Ò Ministry.
May God bless this effort to grow his kingdom through Acts 1:8 Ministry.
