Building software with organizations doing meaningful work.

The partnership started through a person, not a pitch. A mutual contact connected Baptist Mid-Missions to VinTEK back in 2022. They had a clear ask: a 30-day prayer app for the Matthew 9:38 initiative that would run on both Android and iOS, with home-screen widgets and scheduled reminders that actually fire. No "we should have an app" hand-waving — just a defined problem with users on the other end.

We shipped on both stores. That sentence does a lot of work. Most small client jobs end up Android-only, with "iOS later, sometime." This one cleared TestFlight and Play Store production in the same window — because the right people were on it. I led the build and owned Android; Brendan Kirchner built the iOS side; Daniel Boursalian shaped the planning and design. Kotlin Multiplatform let prayer content, scheduling logic, and Firestore sync run from one codebase — the UI stayed native on each platform where it earned the right to.

Four years later, the app is live and in daily use on both stores — still waking people up for their prayer block at the time they set, still syncing daily content, across a steady userbase. New devices, new OS versions, new permission models — and it just keeps shipping. Our ongoing role is keeping it current and dependable: an Android 15 compliance pass, a permission update here, a widget tweak there. That's the goal — software that ages out of the news cycle and into the routine.

The thing I'm proud of isn't the tech. It's that the work belongs to a mission that matters — people praying for gospel workers across the globe, every day, with software that gets out of the way and lets the prayer happen. Earning the right to maintain that, year over year, with a partner who picks up the phone when something needs attention — that's the kind of partnership worth showing up for.
