What an awesome avenue of ministry. This will have a major ripple effect in transforming lives and people groups.
This gets away from the traditional missionary work that teaches people to live off of missionary welfare and gives people the opportunity to get out of poverty by their own means and not just wait for the next handout to survive. And just to clarify I'm not against handouts, I just think there is so much more wisdom in this method of mission work. It follows the rule of "don't catch the fish, teach them to catch the fish". I can't wait to see the fruit from this "Five Talents Fellow Program" this summer.

Yeah... these guys are pretty amazing. I agree completely that you need to teach people how to fish, and these guys are certainly doing that...

WOW! What a concept! It never ceases to amaze me how creative God has made His people. In this age of computers, it is possible for ANYONE to use WHATEVER talents the Lord has given. Websites, niche sites, blogs and the list goes on. One word of caution though. Make sure to enter your "talent" endeavors prayerfully. God has all the inside information. That's why He says in James 1:5 "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God who gives liberally..."
