QUESTION
What tracking software are other Mission Organizations using to track potential recruits interested in missionary careers? ...track work teams? ...track missionary human resource data (i.e. college they graduated from, blood type, etc.)? ...track short term missionaries? ANSWER
TntMPD is a program for managing your relationships with your ministry partners. It is written specifically for missionaries who raise their own support. My vision for developing TntMPD is to give you, a fellow missionary, more time to reach your world for Christ. TntMPD is written by Troy Wolbrink, a missionary programmer with Campus Crusade. It is available for free at http://home.ccci.org/wolbrink/tntmpd/
