ITD, ITC and ICCM

April 5-6: We had the face to face yearly IT Discovery meeting in Nairobi Kenya.
IT Discovery Purpose is to research information technology issues for the benefit of Bible translation workers in Wycliffe and SIL Africa Area and related Bible translation organizations.
The group's role is to work together to discover the key area issues, and develop practical recommendations that address the means to implement solutions. This might mean commissioning others to do specific research tasks in information technologies that will expedite the work of Bible Translation and Language development in Africa and the world over.

April 7-10: We had IT Connect Conference English:
IT Connect is the annual gathering of IT Staff serving SIL International, Wycliffe and Alliance Organisations in Africa share best practices, find ways of helping one another to overcome challenges and to learn from one another. The whole idea is to collaborate, learn, grow and teach one another so as to expedite the work of Bible Translation and language development. It is always a time of great spiritual refreshment.

April 11-14: International Conference on Computing in Missions (ICCM) Africa
The International Conference on Computing and Mission (ICCM) is an annual informal gathering of women and men who have a common interest in computers and mission. We share a vision of cooperation for effective use of technology, bringing the Gospel to every nation. ICCM Africa. The gathering this year brought staff staff from several countries for spiritual refreshment, and sharing technological knowledge to advance the work of the great commission.
We are thankful for this time spent together. We go back ready to serve the Lord with renewed energy and ready to work together as a team with the Holy Spirit operating in us as the operating system.
