1. Spanish translator in the local Tampa area
This can be a paid position at $10/hour, because it is important work. Good News Ministries needs to expand its outreach to our Hispanic brothers and sisters.
- I need someone who is readily available on an as-needed basis to help me with Spanish correspondence so that I can provide quick replies (the GNM philosophy is to give fast responses as part of ministering to the person who's trying to communicate with us).
- This team member may also help build up our ministry to Hispanics with their ideas and involvement.
- Additional paid work ($10/hour) is available in my business, Catholic Digital Resources; for this, knowledge of how to work in MS Word and PPT is required.
2. Web Assistant(s)
In exchange for services rendered, you can receive a charitable donation income tax reduction (if you're a US Citizen and if you are a professional web designer who normally charges a fee for webwork) and free web hosting on our server for you own website. I could really really really use the following help:
- Update the over-all design: I've designed a new template and could use help making the rest of the pages carry the same look. There are three inter-related websites: gnm.org (with over 500 pages), wordbytes.org (with over 1000 pages) and gogoodnews.net (very small site) -- but please don't let the number of pages scare you off. You can set the pace of the work to keep your life balanced, as the Holy Spirit leads. The Good News Ministries sites have become a mish-mosh of styles because it's been several years since I had enough time, when changing the basic style of the main pages, to give everything a matching update.
- PHP & MySQL: I especially could use a helping hand with a couple of ministry pages that use or should use PHP scripting and/or a MySQL database. This kind of work is beyond my level of expertise.
- The ministry for Families of Aborted Children Praying Together has a Prayer Chapel Wall that should get automated. This is an important pro-life ministry that helps parents grieve and heal from abortions and miscarriages, while at the same time it conveys that every life is sacred. Our pro-life ministry is stunted because we cannot do more with it while everything is still handled manually.
- The Good News Prayer Request Room already uses a MySql database but it could use some improvement.
3. What's your passion?
Can it be put to use on the Internet for the works of evangelization?
We are interested in hearing from anyone of any age who is ministry-minded and self-motivated and willing to volunteer the gifts and talents in a collaboration with the Holy Spirit and Good News Ministries.
