Are you freely giving your ministry resources in obedience to Jesus' command? Consider submitting your profile to encourage others and help set a good example to follow.

Beliefs

This site is Protestant Evangelical in theology, and you must uphold the fundamental truths of the Christian faith, including:

  • God is the only true god and exists in three persons, Father, Son, and Spirit
  • Sin has left everyone subject to God's wrath and condemnation
  • Christ became man, died and came back to life, and ascended to Heaven
  • Salvation is through faith in Christ alone, who paid the penalty for our sins in his death
  • Scripture is infallible as originally given and is our ultimate authority on knowing God and his will

Freely giving

You must also believe ministry should be freely given, and therefore not:

  • Sell ministry (or ministry resources)
  • Seek to profit from ministry
  • Require donations from recipients of ministry
  • Restrict the distribution, adaptation, or translation of ministry resources
  • Require users to see ads in order to access resources
  • Require users to hand over personal information (such as an email address)

This perspective is not what people commonly think about when they refer to "giving for free", so it's important you first familiarize yourself with the theology. This freely giving ethic should apply to all aspects of your ministry, and not just parts of it.

While this site advocates for dedicating resources to the public domain, we recognize that others have different opinions on what should be considered "freely giving" and so those who openly license their resources (with BY or BY SA) are also featured.

Submit

In order to create a profile for you, the following information is needed:

  • Profile picture (minimum 360x360px)
  • Name
  • Title (e.g. "Founder of/pastor at/missionary in...")
  • Third-person mini bio
  • First-person quote about freely giving
  • Website URL (optional)
  • Do you have a Bachelor+ degree in theology or another relevant field? (optional)

The bio and quote should together be less than 120 words. By submitting the picture and info, you agree to dedicate them to the public domain along with the rest of the website. You also agree to it being removed if your beliefs change or your conduct would bring disrepute on the site.

If all that sounds good, please submit your profile to Jon at Gracious Tech:

Jon has served as a pastor, a missionary in South-East Asia, and went on to start his own company for creating apps for mission. Every app his company makes is free to use and open source.

“The first app I made was for evangelizing using plain Scripture. It was almost done when I realised Bible translations forbid sharing plain Scripture! Copyright has been the number one barrier to my ministry ever since.”
