Hidden people need to be reached. Hidden people are now in people groups that are too small to target with professional linguists.
We must equip a missionary with the latest technology so they can reach the unreached in their area. They are there. They are prepared to be there and to stay there. So we have a resource there that needs to be encouraged to reach the end of the earth which is right next door for a missionary because they are at the end of the earth from the other end of the earth. See? Find the hidden people in this picture!
With appropriate technology it is possible to make the front-line missionary a vehicle for reaching the hidden people in the area if they are aware where the hidden peoples are. If the current front-line missionary could contact a linguist and forward information that they receive in the field they could be a vehicle for reaching the unreached. Give a missionary a video camera in their hat, have them meet and talk with those that are hard to talk to and we have an open door to give the linguists the ability to talk to those who are hard to talk to.
We have the technology; we need to complete the commands of Christ. A missionary with a powerful laptop computer, peer-to-peer video and audio communications, could reach the hidden people for the linguists who cannot travel to the small people groups because the linguists are in their colleges, teaching linguistics and the ends of the earth are, well, way over there, where the missionaries are.
A missionary could videotape unobtrusively, using hidden cameras, the hidden people and relay that to the linguist or group of linguists so they could provide a missionary with an audiotape of instruction for the hidden people in their own languages. You can see that if this were to happen, there would be no ends of the earth that we could not reach.
 The normal timeframe throughout history for a linguist to go to the hidden people has been years. Before a linguistic missionary could communicate with the hidden people group, if the missionary could communicate directly with the linguist real-time, they needed lengthy training and communication through a live in situation, which few people are ever willing to undertake.
We do not have time for training missionary linguists to reach hidden people groups when the groups are very small, very far apart, and very inaccessible.
Enter the satellite dish and Iridium phone with eyeball cameras and radio receiver/transmission stations. We believe that it would be better to put technology in the hands of that front line missionary, that would allow those who can do the work on the front lines, do the work in their area while the linguist can sit in the comfort of their office rather than spend excessive amounts of time and money traveling to the small people groups.
Adding a small transmitter and some small credit card sized radio receivers from Galcom.com and we have a missionary who can talk across the world to whoever can help reach the hidden people and then give them a credit card receivers and then we can all talk to the hidden people all day or night or whatever.
Using modern technology we believe on that with a camera in their hats, wireless communications between the individual and their portable computer, communications between the portable computer and satellite phone, and instant communication between linguists and the hidden people groups will ensure liability of all of us to reach all of the ends of the earth.
However people groups often look more like patch quilts on the ground rather than large continuous blocs of people with one language as is so often depicted on large maps or globes.
Look, we have a job to do, and we need tools to get that job done. With the right tools and the right people and dedication we can finish that job.
 I believe that the cost for a single super communication unit will be about $7000. I believe that by training the current missionary in the field that there is a need to reach the hidden people, and providing them with the ability to do so will ensure a quick and successful vehicle for reaching hidden people groups.
These units will also help the missionary in the field communicate with their support base as well as family and friends. We will know exactly where they are and what they are doing just as they will know where we are and what we are doing. This technology will provide us with the ability to be with them, who ever they are and whatever they are doing.
Animation specialists will be able to provide support for all manners of mission work. An animated virtual Jesus will be able to answer questions as well as virtual Paul and others could answer the questions of the new believers as well. However, this technology will give the missionary at the ends of the earth the ability to preach the gospel in languages that the missionary does not know.
I don't think there is a better way to spend mission money than to equip a missionary with the technology that they need to get the work done.
As it is with all revelation by God, there is a commercial value to the project. Anyone, in any business, anywhere, can and will benefit from this project, as they will be able to walk, talk and work with anyone anywhere on any project.
The Police, Doctors, military personnel, programmers, bosses and assistants, senators and representatives as well as moms and pops and kids can use the technology. Because the units are portable and can be contained in a briefcase or backpack, there could be no more missing children or stolen vehicles or, more importantly, hidden people.
