Connections

A lot of my work here in Thailand serving God and His people is about connections. Connections with missionaries and ministries but also connections with local companies.

About 2 weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend a seminar hosted by a local IT company called Technocom and ASUS (computer manufacturer). Technocom has been one of my top technology partners for over 10 years now and they continue to provide amazing service and prices for both the school and the nonprofits I support here in Thailand. About 75% of all technology I buy for school, nonprofits, and my own family comes from Technocom.

This seminar was the perfect opportunity to learn more about new technology coming onto the market and to strengthen and build new connections with Technocom, ASUS, and other people in the IT world. Plus they provided free lunch beforehand so that was a huge bonus.

I am truly excited about the opportunities that all the new technology coming onto the market, not just from ASUS, can provide for students and nonprofits alike.
