The underlining principle behind this Cloud Platform is described below:
The Home Page Screen will allow any of the following Organizations to register for Platform access:
1. Church
2. Mission
3. Church Association
4. Higher Level Christian Education
5. Christian Ministry
Once an Organization selection is made; the Person registering their Organization must use an Email account unique to the Organization and used for Organization business (clerk@yourdomain.org). If your Organization does not have a qualified Email account or it's own Email service you can get a new Email account from Google, Outlook, or Yahoo for this purpose.
The person registering must then appoint themselves or someone else as the Organization Administrator. The new Adiminstrator must have access to the Organization's Email account used to register.
The assigned Organization Administrator will then be allowed to log-In, perform Administrative functions, reassign the Organization Administrator (If desired), appoint one or more Staff Monitors, and finally assign oneself or someone else to be one or more of the various organization Function Administrators, with E-mail and password. The Organization Administrator will also be able to perform any self assigned Function or Support Personnel Duties. Each appointed Function Administrator will receive an E-Mail with password, and then He or She will be able to log-in, perform assigned duties, and appoint needed Support Personnel, with E-mail and password. Each Support Person will in turn log-in and perform their assigned duties. Passwords for Support Personnel may be changed by their “up the chain” Function Administrator. Passwords for Administrators may be changed by the Organization Administrator. NOW THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE CLOUD STRUCTURE – PLEASE READ ON The underlining principle behind this www.theccrp.org Computer Cloud Program for Missions and Churches is that every Mission and Church will: 1. Assimilate each of their Church Members into the Church via an active Discipleship program, Job assignments, Training and Mentoring. 2. Teach, or have each Church Member self teach themselves via the Cloud Training module via the following Courses: a. Abiding in Christ b. Spiritual Gifts c. New Member Orientation d. Basic Beliefs (Doctrines) e. Witnessing via the Roman Road f. Etc. 3. Lead each Church Member to Complete an Organization, Ministries and Church Functions Survey. 4. Lead each Church Member to Sign-up for one or more Organization Jobs, Committees or Cloud Functions. 5. Schedule and assure Church Member needed courses are completed for each of their selected jobs, Committees and Functions. 6. Define their “Jerusalem” area. Build, print and display a wall-size map of their area in a prominent place. 7. Conduct a House by House Visitation Program. Visit and understand the needs of each individual and family and met those needs as much as possible. Follow-up. 8. Assure the spiritual status of every Community individual is known. Witness as appropriate and as opportunities arise. 9. Use every Organization and Church Member to assimilate everyone from the Community into a Bible believing Church. 10. Assure as many of the Cloud 28 + Functions are assigned to trained and qualified personnel. 11. Expand the Church’s horizons beyond their “Jerusalem” area by joining other Churches in performing “Judea” area outreach. 12. Continue performing and supporting local and beyond Ministries and Missions as a part of your Church; and in support of Associations, State Conventions, North American Mission Board and International Missions. The Cloud data System is designed primarily to allow each Organization to input their own data personally into the UNCARD™© database. The Cloud is also designed to interface with other Church databases such as ACS, and Awana’s. It is also designed to allow access and downloading data from National data centers, such as Lifeway, INFOUSA, and Database USA. There is no attempt to share data between Organizations unless data in provided to another Organization and manually input – no electronic transfer. Top level security is provided and so designated on the Cloud site. The underlining principle behind the use of this Program for Church Associations is that every Association will: 1. Select a Lead Church to Network with all Associated Missions and Churches to perform each of the eight Functions contained in the Association Platform. Each Lead Network Church will coordinate with the Association Leader to enlist Missions and Churches to conduct the various eight functions more effectively and efficiently. The underlining principle behind this Computer Program for each Higher Level of Education Organizations is to: 1. Use the Cloud Program Platform as the text book to conduct Class Room training to allow students to implement the Cloud at local Missions, Churches and Associations. 2. Coordinate with and enlist local Missions, Churches and Associations in their Higher Level of Education Organization’s immediate vicinity to let students help selected Missions, Churches and Associations implement the Cloud Program. 3. Provide Students that will initially fill all Administrator and Support Personnel positions, with the idea that Mission and Church personnel will be phased in as time progresses. The underlining principle behind this www.theccrp.org Computer Program is for Christian Ministry Organizations to: 1. (Max: please fill in).

This project started when God introduced William (Bill) Mays to Max Clement at the First Baptist Church of Danville in Kilgore, Texas around the year 2000. It would take another 6 years before these two men would realize that God had a plan for them that would require their very best effort, test the limits of their skills, and dominate the rest of their days. God set Bill on a path to develop tools for the church to reach the lost and dying for Christ more than 60 years ago. As a retired NASA contractor, manager, and engineer God specifically equipped him for this work and he has made great strides over the years. Bill developed outreach tools for churches, missions, ministries, church associations, and Christian schools, to name a few. He also developed Christian Video and Media products, over 200 Christian Games, and a vast Christian training library. However, technology was rapidly outpacing Bill's ability to keep up...
While Bill was hard at work in the cause for Christ, Max Clement was the prodigal son living the high life of secular society in corporate America. It was here that God provided Max with the skills that he would need for the work He had for him with Bill. However, like so many before him, Max had to be broken before God could use him. When the time came God was faithful to do just that and now Max is a walking, talking example of how far God’s love will go for one of His own. On the other side of this desert God showed Max the work He had for him with Bill and together they have been plowing this field ever since. With the addition of Max to this project, all of Bill's work, over the years, was now able to be converted for the Cloud and the next step in technology. However, the enormity of this project is mind boggling and without God’s help, impossible. To this day, you can find Bill and Max working side-by-side to deliver this project to those advancing Christ, who desperately need it.
What started out as a simple database turned into an online platform that would challenge the programming skills God had developed in Max over the years. At God’s direction, Bill and Max wanted functions that many programmers said were not possible. However, this did not stop them from developing the functions anyway. The setbacks and challenges have been many, and the goal post have been illusive, but the resolve is steadfast in God’s perfect timing.
The following buttons provide our best efforts to introduce all visitors with the scope, breadth, and vision of this platform. Thank you for your interest.
Matthew 28:19-20 - Is Jesus’ command to evangelize the World. He gave this last command as He ascended into Heaven in the Clouds.
Acts 1: 8 - But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 11: 26 - And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
The Church, and even other Christian Organizations, have been busy for approximately 2000 Years fulfilling Jesus’ above command.
The Book of Acts records the activities of the early Church to fulfill the Great Commission. Unfortunately, even much later the task has not been completed.
Note: See the Bride Until, Author, Dr. Leonard Griffiths, Available on Amazon,
ISBN 978-1-64299-265-6 (Paperback), © 2018, for a history of the Church and work to do.
Many great People have been busy for many years using the methods and technology available for the past 75-100 years. It is for sure that technology keeps changing, and fortunately, technology has finally reached a zenith.
Starting in 1958, my wife and I began working with individual Churches as we moved around the States. This era ended in 1985. During this period, we used 3x5 cards, and other hardcopy forms, as they became available.
Starting in 1986, we continued working with individual Churches, but began using single desktop computers, with less than friendly Word Processor software. This era ended in 1990.
Starting in 1994, and until 2015 we used Microsoft Access ™, and Visual Basic databases. This was a new era because we were retired and were able to work with over 150 Churches and 4 Associations. A much-needed improvement.
Good News occurred in about 2015 when Cloud Technology started making it possible for all Churches and other Christian Organizations to spread the Gospel collectively, instantaneously, and efficiently to every person. This new approach even makes it feasible to maintain records that provide accountability of the work being done.
Our New Approach is to provide Cloud based Software, Security Systems, Social Media, Networks, High Speed Internet, etc. to collectively lead each Church and Christian Organization to perform The Great Commission for Christ Project on an expedited basis. The Project functions are to be systematically carried out in the following areas:
1. Inside the Church Walls - Brick & Mortor, Home Based, and Internet Domains.
2. Outside the Church Walls in your “Jerusalem Area” - Your Immediate Area as defined by a selected radius around your Church.
3. Outside the Church Walls in your “Judea Area” - The county or counties surrounding your location.
4. Outside the Church Walls in your “Samaria Area” - Your Regional Area(s) as defined by your State Convention or Equivalent.
5. Outside the Church Walls in the “Uttermost Part of the Earth” - Your Planet - People Groups.
We envision the following Christian Organizations needed to complete The Great Commission 4 Christ Project:
1. Churches and Missions,
2. Associations and Lead Churches,
3. State Conventions,
4. North American Mission Board,
5. International Mission Board.
6. Higher-Level Education Organizations and related Christian Ministries,
7. Other Christian Ministries called into service by the One True God of all Creation.
The following Specialized Organizations are required to support and implement The Great Commission 4 Christ Project:
1. Supporting Ministries like Samaritans Purse, American Bible Society, Christian schools of higher education, ect...
2. Non Profit 501 (C)(3) Parent Organization - Grace Technology

We envision Associations and Lead Churches:
1. Performing their unique roles by partnering with Churches and Missions to accomplish tasks that may not be possible or as efficiently for individual Churches or Missions to accomplish.
2. Selecting and commissioning Lead Churches to perform the tasks that the Associations may otherwise perform, since Associations may elect to be Networking Organizations only in this new era.
3. The www.cloud4christ.org software platform will be tailored to make each Lead Church's work possible.
We envision State Convention(s) to:
1. Understand this new State-of-The Art Cloud Project and help fund the finalization of the Cloud www.cloud4christ.org software platform.
2. Embrace and incorporate the Great Commission 4 Christ Project as an available resource within the Texas State Convention.
3. Participate with the North American Mission Board (NAMB) to help them establish this Project with other Sates.
We envision The North American Mission Board (NAMB) to:
1. Understand this new State-of-Art Cloud Project and help fund the finalization of the Cloud www.cloud4christ.org software platform.
2. Establish a Project within NAMB to Market this Great Commission for Christ Project to States.

2. Family Friendly Internet, TV, and Streaming Services
3. Information Technology Services (Web Sites, Networking, Web Streaming, etc.)
State Conventions will provide Cloud 4 Christ resources and accountablity for their Samaria Area. The State Conventions may divide their state into say 9 areas (i.e. North East, Central East, South East, North Central, etc.)
NAMB and IMB will provide Cloud 4 Christ resources and accountablity for the Outter most parts of the earth via People Groups.
Provide for a separate Great Commission 4 Christ Ministry within an existing Organization. This Organization will be a stand-alone Non Profit or a part of an existing Non Profit, such as the SBTC, or a well established Church with a robust evangilistic outreach ministry. This Non Profit Organization will use the www.Cloud4christ.org™© Platform to support all registered Organizations. Support will include Marketing, Software Development, Platform Guidence, Retreats, Conferences, Seminars, and Training.
What We Have Done -
A blueprint for the Great Commission 4 Christ was prepared in 2015 to map the development of a Cloud based Church and Mission database, along with 59 Church APPS and the supporting cloud infrastructure. However, during development it was determined that a Platform would be necessary to facilitate the expanded scope and functional requirements for the new Great Commission 4 Christ Vision. This new vision also required the development of sub-platforms to facilitate Associations, Higher-Level Education, State Conventions, The North American Mission Board, The International Mission Board, and Christian Ministries to the Cloud, and even added complementary sub-platforms for items such as Children's Bible Games, Discipleship Training, Videos/Storybooks/Flip Books, and Activities.
In addition, as we began coding the Cloud, the Cloud software was also evolving through many major technical evolutions and programming iterations. All these things have caused our development cycle to expand from 3 years (2018) to 10 years (2025).
Two positive things have, however, occurred. Our Vision and Purpose for the Cloud have remained clear. In addition, foundational coding of the Cloud Platform and all sub-platforms have now been finished.
The Cloud Platform foundation is now on-line as www.cloud4christ.org
We are currently enthusiastically programming the Apps for each sub-platform.
We have also applied for our own non-profit organization under the name of Grace Technology, Inc.
Our non-profit and for-profit organizations may later be connected with or come under another, well established non-profit organization:
Grace Technology - Information Technology Equipment, Services, and funding
Max Velocity Wireless – High Speed Internet and Other Ministries, if this becomes wise.
Note: The www.cloud4christ.org will be the primary online source for the Great Commission 4 Christ Project.
Within the Church Walls -
We are asking each God fearing, Bible believing, End-time Driven, Forward Thinking and Christ Centered Church to:
1. Establish their Vision for 2025 and beyond,
2. Assimilate every Church Member into their Church by:
a. Completing discipleship courses such as
1.) Abiding in Christ,
2.) Spiritual Gifts,
3.) Doctrines,
4.) Church Member Orientation,
5.) Romans Road – 7 Steps to Eternal Life
b. Completing a Survey of Positions and Jobs available, and
c. Helping every Church Member find their place of service in the church.
Outside the Church Walls -
We are also asking each God fearing, Bible Believing, End-time Driven, Forward Thinking and Christ Centered Church to:
1. Prepare themselves for evangelism and ministry to reach their “Jerusalem” Area by:
a. Completing training in Witnessing, and engaging people in their “Jerusalem” area to win the lost, meeting each persons needs, and to assimilate everyone possible into the Church walls,
b. Disciplining each new Community Church Member into the Church,
c. Preparing everyone to join forces with other local Churches to reach your “Judea Area. The local Association may be available to help.
Note: Accountability for each residence and individual is extremely important.
While all the above is going on, support:
1. Your State Convention and the North American Mission Board (Or equivalent) to accomplish their “Samaria” Outreach,
2. Support your International Mission Board (Or equivalent) to accomplish their “To the Uttermost Parts of the Earth” Outreach Area.
One very important aspect of this work is to provide an accountability for each Family and individual. The purpose here is to make sure Every available method is used, every opportunity is taken, and everyone is given another chance to know God, Jesus and the Holy spirit. As each person is ministered to, pray that each person will at least accept Jesus as their personal Savior.
The first Century Church fulfilled The Great Commission by going into their Jerusalem, Judea, Samarian and To The Uttermost parts of the Earth. These exploits are well documented in the Bible books of Matthew through Acts. The history of the Church from Then Until Now is well documented in the book “The Bride of Christ”, authored by Dr. Leonard Griffiths, and now available at Amazon, etc.
Everyone is very aware that some old methods may or may not be practical in accomplishing a Churches task until Jesus comes. Some of the old and some the new methods noted below may or may not be usable now:
1. New methods may include:
a. Web sites b. Internet streaming c. E-mails d. Texting e. Instant messaging f. Streaming T.V. Platforms
2. Old methods may include:
a. Postal Mail b. Door knockers c. Phone calls d. block parties e. door-to-door visitation.
A. Provide a portion of the planned APPs for each sub-platform to allow all interested Christian Organizations to perform first century level outreach using 21st century technology.
B. We can consult with your Church or Mission to help your Organization utilize the Cloud Software, evaluate your IT infrastructure, and make recommendations.
Log onto www.gracetechnology.org and contribute. Two families have been funding this effort for many years and plan to continue. However, if God has placed it on your heart to support this effort financially please know that our goal is to win souls for Christ and advance His name in our communities.
Our promise to you is that we will provide a summary of receipts, disbursements and bank balance on a quarterly basis on the above Cloud site.
Our intent is to pay as few staff members as possible by using primarily volunteers. Our further intent is to let Churches pay as much as they can afford for Software, Equipment and Services. The remainder of expenses would be paid from the Grace Technology non-Profit organization, as funds are available. We desire that every Church and Mission to be equipped fully for the Great Commission 4 Christ Mandate.
