My name is Sus Schmitt (saltnlight). I’m the webmaster for eQuipping for eMinistry; the rest of the e4e authors are listed alphabetically. Since 2010, I’ve been serving as a Technology Ministry Developer in the Women’s Resources department at Headquarters. My desire is to encourage Campus Crusade women to use technology for more effective ministry. My main medium to do this is, at this time, through twice-weekly posts on eQuipping4eMinistry.wordpress.com (e4e) and training sessions at Lake Hart. I have two other blogs, my main site, mikeandsus.org and The Sovereign, which focuses on living holy lives in light of the return of Jesus Christ.
I have nine years of programming experience. I’ve also done a lot of dabbling on the internet and in a variety of technology. I’ve been on the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ in the Information Technology Group since 1975. My husband, Mike, is a business systems analyst, also in ITG.
I love good music, a good book, and being outdoors. We raised three great adult children, but now we have four since our oldest married in 2011. You can see in the photo that we’re expecting Schmitt # 7 this year!
