Adam Braun was on the fast-track to success. He had comfortable life and while at Brown University he decided to spend a semester at sea. That semester while he was only 21 changed his life forever. In Adam’s book, “The Promise of a Pencil: How an Ordinary Person can create Extraordinary Change,” he chronicles this trip and more. On one of the last stops of the trip he went to India, and met a young boy begging on the street. When Adam asked the boy what he most wanted in the world, he simply replied,
“A pencil.”
That interaction became Adam’s inspiration. He started a non profit called Pencils of Promise, with just an investment of $25 and five years of hard work, this organization has been responsible for funding and building over 200 schools around the world!

When you talk about technology most people tend to listen, but when you talk about Church tech some people don’t listen at all. That’s ok, I used to be one of those people who didn’t listen until I realized how Church technology has changed my life.
The year was 1999 and I was invited to a small church in West Baltimore named Miracle Temple. I was hesitant to attend but a good friend kept inviting me, and it helped they had a free meal after the service so I finally obliged.
The Pastor at the time was talking about vision and creating a website, the first website for the church, and at the time, I was working as a freelance website developer. I felt inspired and after a few more visits I told the pastor I wanted to join the church and help with the team.

I was practicing reading with my 5 year old daughter Sanai while the Sunday Night Football was on, so I figured I would test her by reading a random sports tweet.
