Years spent in pastoral ministry, church planting, global missions advocacy, and disaster relief provided invaluable experience in leadership, equipping others ("equipping the saints for works of service," Ephesians 4:12), and understanding diverse needs. This background fostered character development, strengthened faith, and solidified the conviction that God's capabilities far exceed human understanding. The transition to technology was seen as a new avenue to serve and equip, demonstrating that the core calling to support and guide others remained consistent across different sectors.
