Oikos Captures Attention of Top Christian School
Larry LaBarge, one of the founders of Simon Solutions, is at a special gathering of students and alumni at his old alma mater, Christ For The Nations, in Dallas this week.
Founded in 1970 Christ For The Nations (CFNI) has trained over 28,000 students who are now positioned all over the world. CFNI has reached into 120 nations, raising up bible schools, aiding in worldwide relief, and assisting missionaries in planting churches. Not only are they known worldwide for missions, they are also known for praise and worship music.
While attending CFNI, Larry was part of their praise and worship team. He even wrote one of the songs for their best-selling CD. Returning to the CFNI campus has been a wonderful blessing for Larry that is now translating into a wonderful blessing for Simon Solutions.
Larry called me yesterday with great news! One of the leaders in the IT department saw our Oikos Community Console and was amazed. Plans are in the works to use Oikos as a way for CFNI students and alumni to keep in touch with each other all around the world.
We see this as a "mission accomplished." Our hopes in helping ministries build coalition forces for worldwide evangelism are now starting to take shape.
