http://www.xenos.org/nee_a.htm
One of many extraordinary documents provided to the internet community by the Xenos Christian Fellowship from Columbus, Ohio, and written by a co-founder of Xenox, Dennis McCallum. The document represents a very well organized study of Watchman Nee, a review of a very crucial period in the formation of the indigenous House Church Movement in China, and as noted by the author, "also demonstrates some of the problems the church can inherit when patriotism is confused with Christianity." Highly recommended.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO APOLLO 13 [new 6/97]
http://www.ghgcorp.com/woodfill/TRACT13.html
The lives of three men, captured in a tiny spacecraft, hung in suspension on April 13, 1970, after the explosion of the oxygen tank for the Apollo 13 command module. People around the world were bought to focus on this one event to intercede in prayer. To pray for a miracle from a sovereign and merciful God. And, God answered those prayers. One of the men at NASA's mission control was Jerry Woodfill, the Apollo 13 Alarm System Engineer. He asks if we have seen the movie APOLLO 13? He continues by saying that "Millions experienced a 'heart-warming' sensation watching the movie. At a loss to explain the tears shed, viewers exited the cinema wanting 'something more.' That something more was explained in an article published in the NASA Houston space community. 'What Really Happened to Apollo 13' details testimonies of answered prayer which resulted in the rescue of Jim Lovell and his crewmates.'" The web site gives details in Woodfill's own words about the miraculous events surrounding the near tragedy of Apollo 13. He talks about another miracle as well: How the Lord brought a sinner into fellowship with Him. Other files include What Really Happened to Challenger? the tragedy that brought the lives of American astronauts to an end, and the response in lives of those affected.
