SUMMARY:Experiencing Spatial Analytics in Business
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, Dr Girju (professor of marketing and analytics) and her students\, will present a series of hands-on\, experiential studies in spatial analytics in business developed in their Spatial Analytics in Business class at California Baptist University. Students will present a study of church membership at a medium size church with 4 locations in the Inland Empire area. Other projects with non-profits and churches will be described. Much more can be accomplished by Christians in GIS\, so Dr Girju will make a call for stronger connections with the Christian GIS and Christian business world.  \nDr. Marina Girju has 20+ years of industry experience and holds degrees in computer science\, marketing and Management Science. In the Strategic Business Analytics and Insights concentration dr. Girju designed Spatial Analytics in Business\, a key class with a strong focus on experiential learning. All learning materials are case studies of business problems and opportunities and in every class there are a few hands-on consulting projects with non-profit organizations and churches.  She is currently writing a book of case studies for spatial analytics in business and is looking for Christian organizations eager to collaborate with her classes to solve business problems with spatial analytics. \nDr Marina Girju is professor of Marketing and Analytics and Associate Dean at California Baptist University in the JABS School of Business.

SUMMARY:Every Somewhere Sacred: Rescuing a Theology of Place
DESCRIPTION:Our identity as followers of Jesus can and should transform how we live in the physical world. We need a far more expansive Christian imagination for land and place. Common American narratives that reduce land to commodity\, or irrelevant background miss the consistent emphasis in the biblical story that God created and cares for land and place. We should grapple with complicated American histories of land and Indigenous people\, race and social class\, and reapproach Biblical themes of land as home\, gift\, sacrament\, and kin to help prompt Christian groups and individuals to work toward a Christian vision of land mattering in the past\, present\, and future.  We can recover Christian practices for living faithfully as members of our human geographies. And perhaps most importantly\, we can receive the world itself as the gift it was intended to be. \nMy dissertation (PhD – Azusa Pacific University) explores how people learn and grow and how educational sectors become ideological battlegrounds\, using a regional study of Palestinian colleges and universities in the occupied West Bank. \nDirector of the Network of Evangelicals for the Middle East and author of upcoming book Every Somewhere Sacred: Rescuing a Theology of Place in the American Imagination.

SUMMARY:THE AI JOURNEY AT MISSION AVIATION FELLOWSHIP
DESCRIPTION:In the past six months a subset of the MAF IT team has been looking into the ways that AI can be used to facilitate MAF’s work across the world. The talk will explore some of the things that the group has come up with and demonstrate how the MAF GIS team is currently using AI for application support and creation.  \nIn the early part of his career Frank was the GIS Manager for the Coeur d’Alene Tribe. Frank joined Innovate Inc. in 2011 and coordinated a very talented group of solution architects and geospatial programmers as IT Director. His team primarily crafts mobile and web-based geospatial solutions for clients throughout the USA. In October 2024\, Frank stepped down from his role at Innovate\, and started his work at MAF as their Global Data Architect. In addition to his work at MAF\, he has spent the last year as a fractionated CTO for two different start-ups (GeoTrace Systems and Vacation Clean). \nWhen Frank isn’t thinking about technology\, he fills his time by making music with his wife and taking his children and grandchildren fishing as much as possible.
