CHRISTIAN AID [new 6/96]
http://www.christianaid.org/
Helping Indigenous Ministries Around the World. Half a century ago, one outstanding advocate of foreign missions was the network broadcaster and eminent Bible expositor, Donald Grey Barnhouse. In 1952 he journeyed around the world to visit missionaries and mission stations. Upon his return he shocked evangelical audiences across the nation with a startling prediction:"Within 20 years there will be no further need for American missionaries serving overseas as they have in the past." Christian Aid has served as a communications link between U.S. churches and native missionary ministries based in poorer countries overseas, especially those that are closed to missionaries from America. Over four decades, a competant staff of qualified professionals has traveled millions of miles to visit and evaluate indigenous missions in the most remote places on earth. Christian Aid staff now have information on about 6000 different ministries, of which more than 500 have been fully evaluated and approved for support. These groups have a combined total of more than 30,000 missionaries on the field. They operate over 200 Bible institutes and missionary training centers. None are branches of foreign denominations or organizations. All are fully indigenous within the area where their work is located. Missionary minded churches in America are encouraged to "adopt a mission board" by choosing a specific indigenous mission and sending support for it through Christian Aid. This well organized web site provides a good overview of the concept of growing mission involvement through the indigenous Church. The site provides information about its involvement in India, Africa, The Middle East, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the former USSR, The Philippines, China, and Southeast Asia. Recommended.

...Networking Businesses and Executives in more than 65 nations ...expanding the Kingdom of God in the Marketplace ...building up its members and serving the needs of others ...and more... The Christian Business Network is an extension of the International Christian Chamber of Christ whose aim is to put the Kingdom of God as the first priority in our business lives and to teach and train men and women to respond to the biblical challenge of a walk with Christ in the market-place. ICCC chairman and founder Gunnar Olson often speaks about " a release under the Lordship of Christ" when he is teaching. Drawing on insights and wisdom from walking with the Lord in his own business life, coupled with the foundational Word of God, he wants to show that, through the redemptive work of Jesus, there is indeed a freedom from slavery to be experienced also in our professional and business lives. The door into that freedom is Jesus, and is accessed through faith in Him. ICCC is represented in all continents of the world with members in over 65 nations. National ICCC chambers have been established in countries such as Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, U.K., France, Switzerland, Romania, The Faroe Islands, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo, Nigeria, Congo, Cameroun, Gabon, Zaire, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Madagascar, India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, USA, Colombia, Canada, Latvia, Kazachstan and New Zealand.

THE CHRISTIAN FARMERS [new 2/97]
http://www.iccc.net/farmers/
Our way of living and working in daily life expresses our calling. As we make ourselves and everything we have available to God, His blessings will overflow in our lives and His plan for us will be thus realised. One of the foundations for the freedom and independence of a nation, is a self-sufficient agricultural base providing the country's needs for quality nutrition. There are forces at work today within the various agricultural sectors attempting to break them down and thereby create an unhealthy state of dependence. The Christian Farmers want to expose these forces. Through their lives, families and work, yielded to God, we want to show the possibilities of agriculture that is submitted to the dominion of Christ. Christian Farmers has a calling to walk within its field with a prophetic clear-sightedness, and to prepare as forerunners in these times when nations are shaking and uncertain. Christian Farmers work through Literature (The Trumpet etc.), conferences and local meetings in order to inspire, encourage and teach according to the light that comes forth from the Word of God through the revelation of the Holy Spirit. Assisting people in special need (individuals or groups) either individually or through training programmes or projects. Christian Farmers is a section of the International Christian Chamber of Commerce (ICCC). - Adapted from the introduction, The Christian Farmers.

THE CHRISTIAN ZONE!! [new 7/96]
http://www.ed.ac.uk/~jamesmd/czone/index.html
The Christian Zone!! is a set of local and internet resources provided through the work of James MacDonnell from the University of Edinbourgh. Mr. MacDonnell has provided a number of interesting personal resources. Included are his testimony, and a review of his 6-week stay in Papua New Guinea under the auspices of New Tribes. (Anyone considering a visit to PNG or neighboring areas or who has ever been in the area will appreciate James' account.) Another file, called Four Persons provides a lesson about responsibility. Despite its simplicity, it still made this Christian stop and think. There is a poem for suffering disciples, God Hath Not Promised. Mr. MacDonnell also provides a number of internet links under section for Quiet Time, Bible Study, Christian Radio (which also references radio ministries that do not yet have an internet presence), and Missions. He has collected a great set of links for mission related sites. Which brings us back to the six weeks in Papua New Guinea. The pages represented here are not impersonnel pages. They represent something special and personal from James MacDonnell. It is not the wonder of web page building that has made this set of pages something more than a set of web pages. It is the wonder of God in a Christian life. May we recommend a visit.
