New Kingdom Builders
Building software for the Kingdom
What is New Kingdom Builders about?
We are builders. That is why we chose the name New Kingdom Builders. Another term for ourselves might be craftsmen or artisans. We focus on making things, specifically software that when executed does great things. Yes, there is design first, but the end result is always something that we make.Christianity has always been about building/crafting. That is part of what it means to be made in the image of God. We created this company as a way to join the effort to create great things for the Kingdom of Christ. There is great joy in using the creativity that our Lord has given us and we know that it also brings him glory.Much of our software careers have been spent in the commercial space, learning, improving our craft, and growing resources as God has blessed us. We sought the Lord for direction and wisdom on how to best use the talents and resources He has blessed us with in this phase of our lives. To be honest, starting a company was the furthest idea in our minds . But retirement was just not an option because we felt that we had a mission to fulfill. That mission turned into a company. So, let’s go!
How we build
We make use of technology to build things. Just like most things, technology can be used for evil or for good. We use technology to build good things.Software can be great for creating solutions but we have been doing this long enough to know that throwing technology at a problem does not ensure success. In fact, most software projects fail.Our approach is to create amazing apps but at the same time keep them as simple as possible. In fact, the simplicity is usually what makes apps great. We want to build products that are intuitive and have exactly the features that are needed without features that make the entire application more difficult and distracting. We know the feeling when you install a new app and the first screen is so confusing that you do not know where to start. That is not what we plan to do.
What we plan to build
We plan to build a Bible app. You might be thinking, why another Bible app? There are already so many. We realize that and have even jokingly named our prototype YABA (Yet another Bible app).Here are some reasons why:- Our skills are well suited for it- Wise use of technology can build up of the body of Christ- Nothing is more important than the Word of God- We have new ideas to try- A solid foundation of a Bible app can lead to other very helpful apps
