ABOUT MST
About Main Street Technologies

Main Street Technologies is a family owned business dedicated to providing great software and services at a fair price. This business is founded on Biblical principles and is established as an act of service to our Lord Jesus Christ. At least 20% of all gross revenue will go directly ministries which will further the work of spreading the gospel around the world. We are a for profit business, however, we believe our most important purpose in life is not the production of software, but of telling people that the God who created the universe was willing to die for them, in-order that they might live with him.

Bibical Basis - Ephesians 2:6-10 (NIV)

Eph 2:6  And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
Eph 2:7  in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his
kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
Eph 2:8  For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--
Eph 2:9  not by works, so that no one can boast.
Eph 2:10  For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in
advance for us to do.
From the New International Version of the Bible.
