Alliance for Renewal Churches, Agapé Community Church shares in a common
vision for the church. First, they see the church as the primary presence of
God's redemptive purpose on earth in this era. As churches they are to demonstate
the power of the Gospel through their corporate life and to proclaim God's
redemptive purposes to neighbors and to the world. Second, they see the church
giving to God the glory due him through worship and good works. The church
community, therefore, prioritizes worship toward God, the proclamation of God's
redemptive work and good works toward their neighbors in the world. The church
is constantly renewing and being renewed because it is composed of imperfect by
saved people in a changing world. Therefore, they see the need to welcome the
winds of renewal and be open to change.

AGROS MINISTRIES
http://www.netins.net/showcase/agros/

and seminars tremendously challenge areas with a large population. However, the
needs in rural ministries are much different. Growth is usually slow and
consistent and is based on relationships rather than programs. The people at
Agros do not claim to be experts; instead simply a small group of soldiers in
God's great army who are trying to conquer a small corner of this world for
Christ. They believe the denominations, schools, and many others have left and
ignored this field and they believe it is one of the greatest mission fields
America has in the 21st century. They are burdened, committed, and encouraged
to be a small part of God's wonderful work. -- adapted from Introduction, Agros
Ministries. Find the following information at the web site: Encouragement for

IRC #apologetics Channel WWW site.
APOLOGIA REPORT
http://apologia.org/
The web site houses a major weekly publication available online by
subscription, entitled "Apologia Report". Apologia Report serves
professionals in religion (graduate/undergraduate educators, ministers,
missionaries, journalists, media professionals, Christian bookstore managers,
as well as students of Christianity and other religions). Apologia Report has
been formed by three senior researchers formerly affiliated with the Christian
Research Institute (CRI) of San Juan Capistrano, California. The first online
edition of the publication was recently released by its evangelical publisher,
a new non-profit organization known simply as Apologia. Apologia Report targets
the wide spectrum of religious issues which have an impact on orthodox Christian
faith. The report covers an extensive range of topics, including cults, the occult,
world religions, aberrant theology, new religious movements, spiritual trends in
modern culture, and general apologetics. Former CRI researchers Dr. Ron Rhodes and
Paul Carden will also contribute to the publication, with the publication's editor,
Rich Poll. Rhodes has authored several books on new religions and other topics
related to apologetics, the defense of the faith. Carden directs an international
apologetics-centered ministry network with outreaches to the former Soviet Union
and Latin America. Poll sifts through the key tools religion professionals use to
remain current in their fields of specialization as they relate to defending
Christian faith. The annotated bibliographic format of Apologia Report provides
summaries and reviews from many academic journals and popular periodicals, the
online universe, books, broadcast media, software, CD-ROMs, unpublished monographs,
and other news sources. Having written a similar research bulletin, FYI, for a
private audience through the Christian Research Institute during the last decade,
Poll's work is known to a number of professionals in Christian apologetics. --
Adapted from the announcement. Information regarding how to obtain sample issues
is available on site. Other information online includes What's News, a section
highlighting important events amidst the Christian apologetics community. Examples
include announcments on the Lombard Defend the Faith Conference, the reopening and
expansion of Paul Nanson's Apologia work to ApologiaNet, and Doug Groothuis'
observations on Heaven's Gate. Information about the publisher is detailed in
another section. Another section is devoted to the ARTALK Discussion list, noted
in the Mail-based Services section of this guide. Having had the opportunity to
work with Rich Poll for a number of years now, we very highly recommend Apologia.
