3) Joshua Project Just Released a New App that Gathers News/Photos

Every day, thousands of people visit the Joshua Project website and use Unreached of the Day to pray for some of the neediest people groups. Now, those same visitors can add to the information available by using the new photo and data gathering app. With it, they can take people group photos and send them directly to Joshua Project, add location data for improving people group maps, and even update information about a people group. Learn more about this and other JP apps at…

And by the way, it’s available both for iOS and Android.

4) June 20th is World Refugee Sunday? What Will Your Church Do about it?

You, your church, or your group — you could make a difference. If you don’t believe us, just click to…

Maybe you’ll find a “Cause” — or at least change your perspective. Please read and study options there this week. In our own org, we’ve felt compelled to do something — so we’re starting a work in Sicily. Your church or group could take the dare and start something there as well. No matter what, please don’t just sit back and do *nothing*. (Thanks to our friends at Missions Catalyst…

for reminding us about June 20th!)

5) Mobile Passport Control —

Now You can start the U.S. Entry Process from Your Smart Phone. Mobile Passport Control is a free app that U.S. citizens and Canadian visitors can use to expedite their entry into the United States. This is the first app authorized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and enables travelers to create a profile with their passport information and pre-answer the CBP inspection related questions. Find the full list of participating international airports at

https://www.cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/mobile-passport-control

With it, you can significantly speed up your reentry into the USA.
To confirm — it’s not Global Entry, but it’s better than nothing.

7) Your Opinion on WorkFlowy?

Some think of it primarily as an outliner, while others keep their entire “mind meld” within its online pages. There’s a great smartphone app which even works and searches contents while offline. (Fewer and fewer devices tackle that — but it’s really handy when working overseas, or in rural areas, or flying on planes.) At the very least, you could use it to do a version of your agency’s organizational chart? Learn more about this awesome tool, much of which you can access for free, at…

https://workflowy.com/

It also permits simultaneous, multi-user editing and storage of protocols, quotes, principles, to do lists, or whatever you want to type into it.

8) Helping MK’s/TCK’s Reenter

If you had a couple of missionary kids (or third-culture kids, as they’re being called now) and you couldn’t afford the MK reentry program at MTI, where would you go? Where would you send them? Of course, MTI is great. We know that. But suppose you can’t afford it. Would you send them to Train in Missouri?

Or are there books they could read or other workshops that are more affordable? What’s your best advice? Please click “Comment” after the web version of this item. Thanks for any help you can give!

10) Errors and Omissions

Well, most just an error. Last time we reported that a particular course was *free*. But that turned out to be wrong. *Way* wrong. The course is like… $500!?! It must have just been a rumor — or we must have been asleep. If you didn’t notice, then forget we mentioned it. But if you went there and couldn’t tell what in the world we meant, please forgive us. They’re charging. : ) So sorry. We’ll try to do better.
