Updated Sites

I have come across some new blogs and new websites you might enjoy. Check out my udpated Blogs and Favorites sections. 

New Favorites:

• Perspectives Class in Austin & Perspectives on the World Christian Movement 
  
  These 2 links are part of the same organization. The parent group is Perspectives on the World Christian Movement. There are classes all over the world, and having taken this class for graduate school credit 2 years ago, I strongly recommend it.  All believers are called to be on mission with God...not just a select few who may be called to live in huts in Africa. Pardon the lack of adjective diversity - but this class will truly change your perspective on the Christian walk.
  
  
• The Star of Bethlehem
  
  There are no words to describe how incredible our God is. This presentation by Rick Larson of College Station, TX will give you walk you through God's poetry in the sky. Working from 9 "clues" or criteria listed in the Matthew account of the Star, Mr. Larson uses astronomy software to show the world just what was in the sky not only at the time of Christ's birth, but 9 months before at his conception, and then 33 years later on the day of his death. You will walk away from this presenation speechless and in awe of our Creator.  I have the DVD if anyone wants to borrow it.
  
  
• His Hands Taiwan
  
  This one has been on my page for a while, but I'll take this chance to formally introduce you to it. My cousin, Trena Campbell, is a labor & delivery nurse by training. Her family moved to Koashiung, Taiwan a few years ago to work at Morrison Academy. During her time there, the Lord sensitized her to the high abortion rate in the country and impressed upon her the need for someone to show these women His love and comfort. His Hands is a ministry that reaches out to women who find themselves with unwanted pregancy. Similar to Life Care Austin, and Austin Pregnancy Resource Centers, His Hands offers counseling to mothers considering abortion, and care for those who choose to see the pregnancy to term.  His Hands also has a home to temporarily house moms and their children.  From the His Hands site on their Vision:

At the very heart of His Hands is the vision to build relationships. Our primary focus is to build relationships with Taiwanese women, through crisis pregnancy intervention, prenatal education, and childbirth. We believe that by building relationships we will become a place of refuge and hope where we will be able to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
