Computer Problems in Africa

Since many of you who come to our website are computer savvy or even have a background in computers, I thought that you might be interested in one of Wycliffe's recent prayer requests:

"A translation team in Africa has reported that computer problems are the #1 hindrance to translating the Bible -- even ranking above the ongoing civil war. Most teams have minimal understanding of computer software and hardware. Since their only computer support is hundreds of miles away, even simple problems take months to correct. Pray: 1) for protection over their equipment and files and 2) that adequate technology and technical support will become more available."

I've personally heard reports of this stuff all over the World. The needs for computer people in missions is huge.
