Josiah Ritchie describes himself as a technology missionary. He seeks to connect missionaries and church people through the wonders of technology. Much of his ministry is helping to facilitate communications between the two groups.
Join Josiah and me as we talk about how he works out his goals and how God led him to where he is in ministry today. Bro. Josiah also shares a couple of stories illustrating the power of technology to change people’s lives. One of the things he mentions is programs which teach discipleship lessons through cell phones. This is like the project missionary Brad Rhoads mentioned in his first interview on Missionary Talks episode 43.
Bro. Ritchie has a website where you can learn more about him and his ministry. You can also follow his ministry on Facebook.

Brad Rhoads is doing great things. Thanks for making that connection. His team just this week announced Ibidem, another part of the collection of tools they are making available. You can find out more here: http://www.maflt.org/products/Ibidem
Your listeners may also be interested in the documentary “Hello Africa” which shows the impact of mobile phones on Africa. It is in some ways very much the same and in other very different from US culture: http://vimeo.com/4664795
