Missions Assistance Program

The M.A.P. division of InfoSystems exists to provide primarily computer-related skills and resources to international Christian missions organizations in areas of the world where none are available. However, we don't limit ourselves to clicking a mouse or pulling a cable. The MAP division was begun when a couple of InfoSystems employees traveled to Ivory Coast, West Africa to assist with the construction of a new roof for a small rural church. While this was not 'technical' in nature, it showed us the needs that missionaries often have, with no source of manpower to meet those needs.

Some of the other projects we have been involved with are:

» Church construction in Abidjan, Ivory Coast
» Remodeling of a ministry center in Riga, Latvia
» Medical-missions project in El Corpus, Honduras.
» Network installation at the International Christian School of Budapest - Hungary
» Distance Learning Center installations in Zaporozhye, Ukraine
» Installation of wireless network and bridge over 1-mile distance. ABWE Budapest
» Network installation and cabling at ABWE Regional Training Center in Budapest, Hungary
» Computer technical support and training for 200 missionaries at Greater Europe Mission Annual Conference in Budapest, Hungary
» Same for ABWE Central & Eastern Europe conference in Slovenia
» Network installation and cabling at ABWE Regional Training Center in Odessa, Ukraine & Re-installation of the network following heavy damage to that building from a fire.
» Tech support for missionaries with B.I.M.I. for the last two (2) years.
» The tech support for Greater Europe Mission is in it s 5th year
