# About Me

Hi, I'm John from Sabah, Malaysia.

I created **LaymenStage**, a free worship presentation software designed to help churches, worship teams, and multimedia ministries present song lyrics, Scripture readings, liturgy, and announcements without the high costs often associated with commercial church software.

As someone who has served in church media ministry for many years, I understand the challenges faced by smaller congregations and volunteer teams. Many churches want quality presentation tools but simply cannot justify expensive subscriptions.

That's why I started building LaymenStage.

This project is not backed by a company or investors. It is developed independently, often during evenings and weekends, driven by a desire to serve Christ's Church through technology.

If LaymenStage has been helpful to your ministry and you would like to support its continued development, maintenance, and future features, you can buy me a coffee.

Your support helps cover development costs, testing, website hosting, and the countless hours spent improving the software.

Most importantly, it allows me to continue providing LaymenStage free of charge to churches around the world.

Thank you for your support, your prayers, and for serving faithfully in your local church.

Grace and peace,

**John Phelyno**

Founder of LaymenStage
