Why Engineering?
When we partner with nationals and missionaries, we love providing solutions that are needed while being able to share the gospel. We also need to think of ways for those who are growing in the Lord to minister to those who come to know Christ in their country. To help people how to accept both authority and responsibility to care for the physical and spiritual needs of their own people takes a lot of engineering.
We are blessed at SonSet Solutions, to have a group of some of the best and most creative engineers to do just that.
It takes a great deal of creativity and engineering to design a radio transmitter that will fit into a suitcase that can broadcast without the cost of a full studio! Or how about a small system that ties in various tools for a rural pastor to use – our Solar Ministry Toolkit is all about that! How about antennas for a radio station? You have to engineer that so it will be able to do all that you want it to do and also fit into a shipping container well.
Many people think that the unique skills that God has given them are not applicable in missions. But whether you are a IT person, medical professional, videographer, mechanic, farmer, teacher, administrator, business person, or an engineer, there is a unique role for you to play in fulfilling the Great Commission.
Discover
Discover is a one-year service opportunity for participants to use their unique gifts and talents to build God’s kingdom. The participant will experience the global impact of SonSet Solutions while also developing skills needed for longer-term missionary service. Whether God leads into full-time service with SonSet Solutions, into service with another mission organization, or on a different path altogether, our desire is to prepare participants to use their vocations for His glory.
For the past year, we’ve been hosting Erick Johnson. He completed his year in the Discover program and is pursuing another avenue of service for the Lord. We appreciate his time with us, his contribution as a member of our Community Development Team, and pray for his direction.
