<p>This week is the big conference week in the US for Bible
research.</p>
<p>I have 2 different cards printed up to hand out this week. The
first is intended for students.</p>

<p>Probably the single most important resource for a seminary
student is the German Bible Society's Nestle-Aland Greek New
Testament. After years of negotiation and a ton of work on our
part to format their data, overlay morphology on top, have the
INTF (the research institute that produces the text of the
edition) proof and correct the morphology, The Germany Bible
Society agreed last year to offer an unlock key for our software.
It available from the install source: Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft
(German Bible Society). They are offering this module at a great
price of 10€. This is the cheapest way I know for a seminary
student to purchase this resource, and I believe should go a long
way to promote interest in what we do here at CrossWire at these
conferences. We are promoting this offer together with the German
Bible Society this year and it is featured on the back of both
cards. My goal is to leave tons of these with the backs up, on
tables all around the conference centers and hotels and with
booths of seminaries for their students. It should be a great
blessing to students. The promotion has a QRCode which points to
a special mobile page which shows how to install the module on an
iPhone or Android using Bishop, but the promo page explains that
we have many applications for many platforms and that all of our
modules work across all of our software. (I hope the NA28 works
well on our various software platforms).<br>

<p>The second card I have to hand out is one that replaces the
"Cool, Free, Open Source Bible Software" on the front, with
"Publish Directly to Consumer." These I intend to hand out at the
publisher booths at the conferences. I hope to pitch our model of
direct to consumer to stir up interest from publishers to take
their resources directly to the consumer, bypassing the
distribution fees and markup charged by commercial software
vendors (no offense to our commercial friends-- I pray their work
will too be used to share Christ with a lost world). The interest
we get from publishers will eventually be directed toward the
modules team. I hope we can overload our team and subsequently
need to issue a call for modules team volunteers to help their
great work.<br>
</p>
<p>So, please keep our ministry in your prayers this week (and
always). It is a pleasure and honor to serve Christ together with
you,</p>
<p>Troy</p>

Anyone planning to visit Texas this year? I hope to be at each
event. Would love to meet if anyone else plans to attend or is in
the area.<br>
