Mission SIFAT: Here is more from Jeremy Hall a Chapelwood college student who is sharring his experience at SIFAT (Servants in Faith in Technology). Jeremy was selected to be an intern at SIFAT for the summer to engage other youth teams and mission teams in learning about sustainable and appropriate technology among the poor.

We had our second batch of campers this week. Around 130 kids left yesterday absolutely on fire for the Lord and empowered to do something about it. I am humbled in knowing that every student who comes through here is equipped to love his or her neighbor with a greater intensity. Sometimes that looks like teaching kids about the appropriate technologies that SIFAT is known for worldwide and them using that in their lives. Sometimes that looks like just showing a kid what agape love is. Either way, God is glorified by the fact that each student is receiving an opportunity to love. As am I. Every day while I'm with these students a new opportunity is presented to me to show God's love to those around me. It's a unique feeling knowing that God is using you directly for the furthering of his kingdom in the lives of these students. The sense of accomplishment you receive from that knowledge coupled with the humbling fact that God is the one making it happen just amplifies my desire to be his vessel here.



Regarding the technologies being taught here, I really couldn't say enough about how astounding it all is. The information these students are learning is the same information that is being used to provide food, water, and shelter to the needy in 87 different nations. The opportunity for Americans investing in communities abroad to make a legitimate longterm impact is achievable with the technology of SIFAT.
