VillageServer Initiative
Sharing the Gospel with the help of today's existing technology.
Placing God's Word within reach of every village — even where there is no internet, no power grid, and no trained technician.
Matthew 24:14 · Project 42: 42% of the world has never heard that Jesus loves them
VillageServer places the complete Word of God — Bibles, teaching, and gospel films — into the hands of people with no internet, no power grid, and no technician, and makes sharing it simple enough that one villager can pass it to the next.
Read the full mission →One library. Five ways to reach further.
The same offline VillageServer library scales from a single card in one hand to a satellite signal serving a whole region. Each step multiplies how many people the Word reaches.
-
1
microSD card
Reaches 1 person
Load the full library — Bibles, teaching, and films — onto a single card. One card, one person, fully offline.
How sharing works → -
2
Wi-Fi sharing hub
Up to 5 phones
A pocket hub broadcasts the card wirelessly, so several nearby phones can browse and download the same library at once.
Phone distribution → -
3
Raspberry Pi VillageServer
20–40 people
A low-power server hosts the whole library over its own Wi-Fi, serving a gathering of phones with no internet and no data.
Field configurations → -
4
Projector & audio
Hundreds at once
Play gospel films and teaching to a whole village at a single showing — one screen, one crowd, one evening.
Projector systems → -
5
Satellite receive-and-replay
Thousands across a region
A satellite feed refreshes and rebroadcasts the library across an entire region — reaching 150+ and scaling into the thousands.
