Projects Worked On
I have worked at the Help Desk of the student computer lab of a large conservative seminary in Dallas Texas USA. God has put into my heart a great compassion for the next generation of Christian leaders.

I know dozens of seminary students and graduates. Even though I am a considered a digital immigrant at 55 years old I resonate best with those in their 20s. They immediately appreciate the need to harness the online opportunities.

I have been working for many years to find ways for seminary students and graduates to learn how to minister online. I have dozens of blogs and many websites. They are linked from a hub with my initials JSO www.JSOhub.org
Roles / Skill Sets
I am in the process of putting together the visual aids for face-to-face fund raising presentations. That is my first milestone. The next milestone is to get into the habit of meeting with two prospective donors per week and present to two groups per month.

Milestone three is to raise the 40 thousand dollars needed for the seed capital. Ten thousand each goes to Consultants & Coaches, Web Development, Hardware & Software and Initial Payroll.

Milestone four is the building of version 1.0 of the Web Platform. From that base will flow Five Services 1) Networking Hub, 2) Information Clearinghouse (wikis), 3) Educational Nucleus, 4) Think Tank and 5) Research & Development Lab. And this is supported by Five Income Streams 1) Donations, 2) Retail Sales, 3) Affiliate Commissions, 4) Memberships and 5) Advertisements.

There are more milestones.
