Jake Carlson shares how his AI-powered chatbot is revolutionizing global evangelism by providing biblical answers in 192 languages across 125+ countries. His journey from missionary kid in China to tech innovator demonstrates how cutting-edge technology can be harnessed for the Great Commission, particularly in reaching unreached people groups.

• Chatbot answers theological questions using content from trusted ministries like GotQuestions.org
• Customizes responses for different worldviews and cultural contexts
• Reaches places traditional missionaries cannot access, including closed countries
• Users feel comfortable asking sensitive questions they wouldn't ask another person
• Developing voice interfaces for illiterate populations and offline capabilities for areas without internet
• Partners with missions organizations to create white-labeled versions that match their branding
• Identifies spiritual openness in conversations to help focus on receptive seekers
• Technology serves as a bridge to human relationships, not a replacement
• Already seeing usage among highly unreached people groups without any targeted advertising
