Berachah Church 2022
Third Annual #TeksGiving to Donate a Comprehensive Church Tech Upgrade
TeKnowledge World Wide, a collective of like-minded individuals in the technology industry who share knowledge and seek to make positive and impactful changes in the community, has chosen the Berachah Church of Cheltenham, PA, as the recipient of its third #TeksGiving technology upgrade. The collective raised funds for the upgrade via the Pledge It online crowdfunding platform. The goal for this project was $25,000.
This year’s recipient, Berachah Church, is a church that works to serve people in the Cheltenham community and around the world in a variety of ways, most notably by providing temporary housing and a rotating food pantry. The 150k technology upgrades that will be donated include an update of the Church’s security system to keep the congregation safe and an update of its WiFi equipment so that the church can connect with the community and the world on a larger scale.
The rising cost of technology to protect communities like Berachah Church is out of reach for so many,” said Ray Cline, President of TeKnowledge World Wide. “To alleviate that burden, we have a growing network of World Wide IT professionals who donate both state-of-art products and their time to make these projects possible. We are proud to work with Berachah Church to upgrade their technology so that they can use it for the benefit of the people they minster to.

“We are so thankful at Berachah Church for the generous services of Teknowledge,” said Wilson Bever, lead pastor. “They have gone above and beyond in their desire to serve our church body by providing us with services and equipment we could have never afforded on our own. Their gracious donation of time and talent will make a direct impact on the quality of services we provide to children and youth in the years to come, and will allow them to have the resources they need to work efficiently and effectively.”

WHO IS TEKNOWLEDGE WORLDWIDE?
Teknowledge World Wide (TKW) was founded in 2021 by four entrepreneurial business owners from across the country and is a registered Not For Profit Charity and Community-based organization headquartered in Philadelphia, PA. The TKW mission is to bring like-minded technology businesses and individuals together to share knowledge and teach each other by example while making impactful changes in the community through philanthropy.
The founding members of TKW utilize their expertise to promote the core principle of “Community Over Competition,” all while encouraging industry best practices and the use of the most efficient tools and materials. Furthermore, they assist and educate members of the technology community, to help elevate the level of craftsmanship within the entire community and thus the industry as a whole.
TKW has grown exponentially in less than two years and has hundreds of members across North America and abroad. They include Integrators, Contractors, Installers, Manufacturers, Suppliers and Distributors all working together to understand the key principles which lead the community. The guiding principle not only helps all parties succeed but also lends to personal growth and makes for well-rounded individuals.

Merry Holiday Eve!
Just going to take a moment here to wish you all a very merry holiday season. We as a community have so much to celebrate and be grateful for this year – you all know the highlights – but to think just a few years ago many of us didn’t even know each other is remarkable in and of itself.
We’re so incredibly proud of the work we all do together – but more importantly – we’re incredibly grateful for the relationships we’ve made throughout the years. We’re all so fortunate to watch careers grow, friendships be solidified, and business partnerships be forged all from the connections this community has afforded. It’s truly humbling to say the very least.
To all of you that helped LaEscuelita BiLingual Preschool and made our TEKSGiving initiative an outstanding success
To all who’ve donated funds, equipment and time to further our mission
To all who attend our meetups
To all who participate in conversations in our Slack Community
To all who simply give more than they take
And finally – to the TACs that help lead this community to new levels
Thank you for embodying our mission that we’ve been carrying out since our inception “To bring like minded Technology businesses & individuals together to share knowledge, teach each other by example, while making impactful changes in the community with philanthropy.”
We’re looking forward to seeing you all again VERY soon at TEKFest! Lets all spread the word and bring more amazing folks like yourselves to join a community that is like no other that is literally changing the industry.

Meet Rachel! Another 1st timer to #TEKSGiving - Rachel jumped in and learned all about #accesscontrol #structuredcabling and helped install some cameras for the 1st time.
Rachel also helped certify the cabling with the fastest cloud certifier on the marjet - the @trend_networks IVS Certifier.
Most exciting was learning to use the @verticalcable #ipunch tool - which is literally the most innovative game changing tool on the market.
