To Whom it May Concern:

My name is Michael Christensen and I'm the Programming Director with the Utah Arts Alliance (Salt Lake City based non-profit). For the better part of a year, I have been collaborating with local non-profits to build an app based "Community Building Game." Basically, our goal is to revolutionize the Salt Lake City non-profit/educational sector by creating a MASSIVE, ongoing practical (digital) game-- essentially scaling ALL of the benefits of games to the size of an entire community. (This will be a public service -- neither the organizations nor the community will have to pay to use the system)

Hopefully this makes sense.

As of right now, we are looking for financial backers (we're getting ready to launch an Indigogo campaign to fund our app) and passionate game-making collaborators who can help us workshop concepts.

Thank you for your time!

Dear Michael Christensen

There seems to be a synchro between our massive gaming projects. In fact, I can see a connection between you at Utah - a land inhabited  on the pattern of the Land of Israel  - and our team in Israel. We want the Jerusalem Games to restore the Biblical pattern of Israel "through forming new communities/teams that build the New Jerusalem - and it seems to me that this is what Joseph Smith intended (so cooperation with us in Jerusalem may help you to receive resources in Utah and perhaps from the "Messianic Israelites" all around the other 49 states of the US)

I can send you massive info and fascinating graphics when ever you want/ 

All the best

Good afternoon, Yitzhaq!

I was pleased to receive your email. I agree with your sentiment -- I think our massive game projects are both attempts to tackle a problem that all communities face. I'm excited and validated to hear that you're team is on the same wave length. And thanks for the download!

How far along is your team in the creation of your project? Also, I'm very curious about the themes of your game. Does your game include characters? 

I look forward to correspondence.

Warmly,
Michael-

Shalom Michael/ I have been working on the games ideas for decades and there is a 600 page document of private communications of my thoughts/ at section of my website is about "Redemptive Games", see  http://www.global-report.com/thehope/c14-redemptive-games-for-yeru-shalem

    it has 10 articles mostly dated academic papers about a year ago I started paying modest wages for 2-3 people. The picture I hope you've received is a sample  of the current work. We aim not at the games (Which would cost like a major movie) but for a splendid presentation material. 

The characters in the games are the participants themselves in the role of Resurrectors of 49 characters regarded as "Children of Abraham"/ Their dry bones dictate some of their characteristics, but three balls are added to them via games interactions by picking from kicked-about footballs ("Liver) then picking  tossed handballs (Heart) and certain heads (brain) which they bring into the Dome of the Rock shrine to get assembled and resurrected. So there are up to 49 types of (religious) communities assembled, with the LDS as one (who wants to take over, just as a few other communities (e.g. Radical Islam would (by different means/ Scores get best, however, when learning to accept the others, helping them to mend their ways in a non-obtrusive manner

I hope that's enough for to day. Please do write me more.
