    • Collaborative Spirit: Willingness to work as part of a team and contribute to shared goals.

    • Mission-Driven Mindset: Passion for using technology to help people grow spiritually and connect with God.

    • Heart for Ministry: See work as more than a job, but as a calling to serve others and advance God's Kingdom.
