EMPOWERED FOR FREEDOM [new 12/96]
http://www.redshift.com/~empower/
"In about 1770, American colonists formed Committees of Correspondence to keep each other informed of events affecting their hopes for independence. We want to see the Internet serve just such a purpose, equipping Americans, and persons of goodwill in other countries, to resist the advance of totalitarianism in all its forms. We also hope to share what our faith means on a personal level. After all, there can't be a righteous nation without righteous individual citizens." -- Mary and Joseph Ravitts, Empowered For Freedom. This ministry provides source materials (The Great Either-Or), including files relating to: The Resurgene of Marxism; the Decay of Education; Fallacies of "Global" Thinking; Misuses of the Bible; Christians Themselves Being Deceived; The Attempt to Make God Female; and, Getting More Alert to Evildoers in Power. Personal testimony by Mary Ravitts includes concerns involving the importance of Christian activism, the curbing of runaway promiscuity, and a general lack of willingness to receive guidance from God. Personal testimony from Joseph Ravitts includes a short biography, and the following files: The Facts (A Leap in the Dark? No, a Leap Toward the Light); Belief System (It's All the Same -- Not!); Moral Validity (The Response to Criticisms of God and His Worshippers); The Promises (The Value of Hope); Personal Conduct (Bear Fruit That Befits Repentence!); Miscellaneous Musings; and, Space Aliens (The Cornelius Principle).

ENJOY LIFE AND PRAISE HIM! [new 10/96]
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/THanks/
One can get a sense of identity, and encouragement, by checking out these pages! What we find at Enjoy Life and Praise Him! is a comment on the things that make a Christian mother... well... a Christian mother. Let's face it. You moms out there have at one time supported Welsh Corgi, cats, rats, chickens, bunnies and fish. Right? Check out the list, enjoy the links, and see if you have one or more of these as a pet. If you do, you've been blessed by a facet of the Lord's expansive creative ability. (And, maybe your kids would appreciate this site too.) Also find a thoughtful treatise on Homemaking and Mothering. The way our society functions today, perhaps homemaking is undervalued. Whatever a mother's role in society today, mothers gain the respect that comes with a lifetime's devotion to their family. Other aspects of a mother's life include gardening, crafts, eating chocolate, and rollerblading! And, if that's not enough, and you're the proprietor of web pages, check out the little links at the bottom of almost every page for doodads that you can use to spice up your own web page. Recommended.

There is also another document being written by Edward Hersh, a staff member at Millersville College, and webservant for the Church home page, under the banner of John 3:16,17. A part of Ed's biographical notes say this: "God may not have given me the miracle of sight, but he has performed many other miracles in my life. As a matter of fact, the ability God gives me each day to get up in the morning and face another day of living with a serious sight limitaion, is far greater a miracle than if he would restore my eyes with sight. There is simply no way to overcome adversity without having adverse situations to overcome. Trials and tribulations are sometimes the only means to a healthier dependence on God."

THE FALLIS FILES [new 10/96]
http://www.npi.net/~fallis/
This morning, the sun came up in Papua New Guinea just as it has for hundreds of years: blazing over the ocean near the islands; darting through the gaps in the trees and leaves and vines of the Sepik River jungles; creeping over ridge after ridge after ridge in the Highlands. Tomorrow it will do the same. Thousands of tribal people live on those islands, in those jungles, below those ridges, and life seems to change little there. Many still live in darkness. Almost 2,000 years after Jesus Christ gave His life that all who call on His name may be saved, nearly 2,000 years after He told His followers to make disciples of all nations, many of these tribes have never heard the gospel. -- Ian Fallis, The Fallis Files. You may wish to consider a career in international missions, and maybe you need some answers. Or you may have already decided that The Great Commission is crucial to life and wish to be more closely involved in seeing that hope more fully realized personally. There's a good chance that you'll find answers for both at this site. The Fallis' provide information about one of most dedicated mission organizations, New Tribes Missions, and about Papua New Guinea -- the needs for help, the geography, an overview of religious practices, language, economy, and health needs amongst the people of PNG. Provided are answers about who the Fallis family is, and why they are committed missionary elects to PNG. Reading the News Updates and Travelogues provides valuable insights into the process of deputation, visiting various churches and groups: work necessary to attain the funding necessary to live overseas, fellowship through sharing the hope of salvation, ministry to fellow Church members. Why should I care? Provided are the Scripture imperatives. How can I help? Find an up-to-date prayer request. Or, if you have it on your heart to give (or would like to have an idea regarding the expenses that missionaries face) review the documents that detail logistical needs and support level needs that are required. We opened this brief report with a quote from Ian Fallis, NTM missionary elect. The sunrises in this part of the world are truely awesome. Against this backdrop outshines the love and endurance of a faithful God sharing His wish upon the hearts of His servants. Highly recommended.
