=LDSTech Church-Service Missionaries=<br />
</div><br />
==Definition==<br />
:LDSTech Church-service missions are ideal for worthy people who work or have worked in the IT industry. You may be a young or young-at-heart tech expert who is worthy to serve a proselyting mission but cannot. You may be a couple that is retired or on a leave of absence and looking for an opportunity to serve a mission. This could be an ideal place to serve.<br />
*'''Time Commitment''' - Time commitments can be 6, 12, or 18 months. At the end of the term of service, you can extend the missionary commitment to continue serving.<br />
*'''Skills''' - The skills required to serve an LDSTech mission vary based on the opportunity. See the opportunity descriptions for each advertised position. Most positions require volunteers with training and experience who are prepared to contribute to the projects from the outset. Many positions require prior work experience. Senior couples with varying technical skills are especially welcome. Many times one person may serve in technical role on a project while the spouse serves in another role, for example customer or administrator support.<br />
*'''Language Requirement''' - At this time, an LDSTech mission requires the ability to speak English. We also now have opportunities for those who speak other languages along with English to help with special projects.<br />
<br />
