Strategic Resources Ministry (a dba of Oregon Professional Microsystems) provides technical support to pastors and Christian leaders for the purpose of fulfilling the Great Commission. We use sophisticated tools and resources that are available to the Church for the first time in this generation. At the same time, however, we believe Christ is after the hearts of men, and in our journey we must never forget it is the hearts of men we are trying to win to the gospel. Technology is only a tool that can help us. Carl has had extensive experience at the local, national, and international level providing his technical skills.

Here are a few of the services we can provide:

• Carl is a Certfied Consultant for the Kingdom Combine Connecting Software available from the Mapping Center for Evangelism and Church Growth. These tools enable a church to do strategic follow-up with visitors, do prayer walks in streets where you have the names of the families in each house, and do targeted mailings for catalytic events.

• Carl can provide demographic data for a specified area both in aggregate form and as maps. In addition to generational and ethnic profiles, SRM can provide you with the felt needs of the targeted area as well as its socio-economic profile. Our data source is Percept.

• SRM has commercial quality mapping software, and can create maps with specified databases. For example, if your church has a preschool ministry that reaches many unchurched families, we can map these families from that address database. From the cluster patterns, you can obtain common characteristics. Examples might be a particular music style (as country music), or a large number of single parent families. You can then initiate ministry strategies from this.

• SRM can also provide a wide variety of related technical support such as computer installation, wired or wireless networks, software training, internet support issues, web design for a site, search engine positioning, and problem troubleshooting.
