James is married with two kids. His second, Anna, was born 3 months early weighing 2 pounds. It changed everything. Since, God has had James and his wife Karen on an incredible journey in and out of hospitals watching God's miraculous hand at work in saving their baby girl. Their eldest is named Judah.
They live in Waterloo, Canada. James likes bacon, playing hockey and saying "eh" ;)
Tech leaders have virtually unprecedented power to mold the future. The question is: how are they using it — and how will you?
In this post, James Kelly of FaithTech encourages leaders with the reminder of where some of today’s great technology leaders came from. He even reminds us of King David, a man after God’s own heart, who led from a place of faith to influence the world. We are reminded to pray for the influential leaders and realize “technology provides incredible opportunities to change minds, to change hearts, and to change the world — if leaders seize it.”
