This project stood out to me as one of the most deliberate and direct-impact projects of all the submissions. This project demonstrates a balance of technical knowhow with cultural and religious intentionality. This solution is easy to access, easy to navigate, and could bring immediate Kingdom value to the world.

I 100% believe this solution could be immediately deployed and embraced within the market.

The Islamic world needs more targeted interventions and this project is a critical resource in the evangelization of hard-to-reach Muslims. It allows for a seeker to privately find God’s truth and come to saving faith in Christ.

I think this is a brilliant use of balancing cutting edge technology (AI/LLM) with relevant needs that go beyond churches, denominations, and regional cultures. This could open up multi-generational doors to empower individuals with the answers and context to open up real conversations with the world & relationships around them.

I was really able to see the purpose, need, and possibility of the project. I could see this being used in communities around the world.

I believe this project has purpose and should continued to be pursued with conviction. This could impact generations.

The mission field is moving online.

Lost in a Marketplace of Ideas
Western society is already being influenced by AIs that promote secular ideals
Lack of Compassion
Non-believers are sometimes alienated and intimidated by judgmental Christians
Biblical Knowledge Trending Downward
Each successive generation knows less about the fundamentals of Christianity
Majoring in the Minors
Believers and non-believers alike often get wrapped up in non-essentials of the faith

Troubling Trends Now is the time to act.

Today's working professional is educated, technologically savvy, and distracted by information overload. We need to meet non-believers where they are and speak to them in ways they respond to — using modern, visually appealing digital products that present God’s truth.

“U.S. adults who have moved away from Christianity are younger, on average, than those who have remained Christian after a Christian upbringing. … This age pattern aligns with a decades-long trend in which each cohort of young adults is less religiously affiliated than the preceding one.” [Pew]

Churches are closing faster than they are opening. Young adults are turning their backs to God. Post-pandemic church attendance is lower; many people decided not to come back or prefer to worship virtually. [Pew]

U.S. Christians projected to fall below 50% of population if recent trends continue
