Answers in Genesis

Answers in Genesis is an apologetics (i.e., Christianity-defending) ministry, dedicated to enabling Christians to defend their faith, and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ effectively. We focus particularly on providing answers to questions surrounding the book of Genesis, as it is the most-attacked book of the Bible. We also desire to train others to develop a biblical worldview, and seek to expose the bankruptcy of evolutionary ideas, and its bedfellow, a “millions of years old” earth (and even older universe).

AWANA Clubs International

What is Awana? Awana is an international, Bible-centered children's ministry and youth ministry providing local churches with weekly clubs, programs and training. Our goal is to equip churches and parents worldwide to raise spiritual champions who know, love and serve Christ using integrated programs for ages 2 to 18, resources for Bible-based parenting and discipleship, child and family evangelism and specialized volunteer training. (Learn about the prayer, vision, mission and values of Awana.) The acronym Awana comes from the first letters of Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed as taken from 2 Timothy 2:15. Awana began in 1950 as a youth program at the North Side Gospel Center in Chicago, Illinois. Lance Latham, the church pastor, worked with Art Rorheim to develop a program that would appeal to young people, reach them with the gospel and train them in the Lord’s work. Other churches heard about the success of the Awana program and asked if they could use it. By 1960, Awana had registered 900 churches to start Awana. Today, nearly 12,000 U.S. churches run Awana with programs in all 50 states. Awana can also be found in over 4,300 churches in 109 other countries and six continents. Jack Eggar is our President/CEO. Art Rorheim serves as our Co-Founder. Missionaries and ministry teams will assist you in establishing Awana as a vital part of your local church's outreach, discipleship and volunteer training. Find your area missionary and contact him today, or learn more about what we believe as a Bible-teaching ministry. The AWANA missionary for the U.P. is Mark Britton.

AWANA--U.P. & Northern L.P.

Mark and Diane Britton's call to ministry Diane and I have been convinced of God’s purpose for our lives in relationship to full time ministry work since the beginning or our ministry opportunities in 1981. Through the years God has placed a burden on our hearts concerning American missions through exposure to Church Missionaries coming home on furlough and observing the obvious decline in our country’s moral fabric. “America is fast becoming more heathen than where we minister,” they would say. God has allowed us to be involved in a number of Awana ministries through the years, and it gradually dawned on us that here was a program that could really make a difference in America because it is rooted in the basic fundamental that we as a nation desperately need to recognize – the Gospel of grace! Through counseling experiences at Awana’s wilderness camp, Canadian Adventure, we have seen the kind of impact that Awana has in the lives of kids. We’ve also seen spiritual dynamics developed in our own children’s lives because of involvement in Awana. We know that Awana is not an end unto itself, but God has chosen to use it as a wonderful tool to bring kids to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and then train them to serve Him. We’re delighted that God has given us a specific call to this ministry!

Christian Law Association

The Christian Law Association is a "ministry of legal helps." Its purpose is to provide free legal assistance to Bible-believing churches and Christians who are experiencing legal difficulty in practicing their religious faith because of governmental regulation, intrusion, or prohibition of one form or another. Since 1969, the number of legal attacks on ministries has exploded. CLA received in excess of 100,000 phone calls in 2005, not counting the thousands of pieces of correspondence from those who are in some way facing legal difficulties for doing what the Bible commands. These cases involve Christians arrested for witnessing to others in public, public school students being told they do not have the right to read their Bibles at school, churches being excluded from communities, Christians being fired for sharing their faith at work, and thousands of other shocking assaults on our precious religious freedoms.

Create tools.It is our goal to produce other TERM* materials similar to The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus, sensitive to different ages, settings, the illiterate, or such groups as the seeing impaired. It is our goal to translate culturally contextualized TERM materials into all major and many smaller language groups. Individuals wishing a translation in their language should know that, on available basis, we offer help and finances in checking, formatting and the initial printing. Our materials are geared for those having little-to-no Bible background — assuming nothing. This may be due to age (i.e. children), a remote location (i.e. tribal), or because a dominant religion hinders a clear explanation of the Scriptures. Also included are those living in post-Christian societies. 2. Teach people how to use those tools.

My Wonderful World

Geography is more than places on a map. It's global connections and incredible creatures. It's people and cultures, economics and politics. And it's essential to understanding our interconnected world. But sadly, our kids aren't getting enough of it. A new National Geographic-Roper survey shows half of young Americans can't locate world powers like Japan and India. Twenty percent can't even find the Pacific Ocean. (More about the survey.) Without geography, our children aren't ready for the world. That's why we started My Wonderful World. It's a National Geographic-led campaign—backed by a coalition of major national partners—to expand geographic learning in school, at home, and in the community. We want to give our kids the power of global knowledge.

Nature Friend

Nature Friend Magazine encourages children to appreciate God’s handiwork in nature. We are a children's magazine the whole family, including the grandparents, can enjoy. Every other issue is gently nudged towards an older age. This is easiest to observe by the two-page art lesson that goes a bit more in-depth than the one-page lesson. While 8-16 may be a nucleus, we publish drawings by 3-4 year olds and quotes/writings from grandparents. Its Beginning and Purpose Nature Friend magazine, begun in 1983, was produced mainly by the Stanley and Janice Brubaker family of Goshen, Indiana, owners of Pilgrim Publishers. It was born out of Stanley’s desire to encourage children to believe in God as their Creator and to seek out, recognize, and appreciate His handiwork. The popular “You Can Draw” feature was first produced by a young lady who lived near the Brubakers in Indiana. Today she is a pastor’s wife at a small country church in Virginia where the current Nature Friend owners are members. The site also features on-line shopping.

WORLD Magazine

WORLD tries to be salt, not sugar. We like to report good news but we don't make it sticky-sweet. We also report bad news because Christ's grace becomes most meaningful when we're aware of sin. We want to be tough-minded but warmhearted. We are dependent on God and independent of any political faction or interest group. We don't let advertisers influence news content. We don't print glorified press releases. We like George W. Bush but often criticize his administration. We criticize corruption, even when (sometimes especially when) it erupts among Christians. We avoid sourcery, where unnamed sources spin the news their way. We look for provocative and evocative news stories that are the result of pavement-pounding rather than thumb-sucking. We don't want anyone to read WORLD out of a sense of duty. We like family feuds over who gets to read a new issue first. We want our readers to enjoy the world God has made, full as it is of nooks and crannies and weirdness. We stand for factual accuracy and biblical objectivity, trying to see the world as best we can the way the Bible depicts it. Journalistic humility for us means trying to give God's perspective. We distinguish between issues on which the Bible is clear and those on which it isn't. We also distinguish between journalism and propaganda: We're not willing to lie because someone thinks it will help God's cause. We believe that our purpose is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever—and forever begins right now. We like sex, within marriage. We're not amoral hedonists, but we're not stoic moralists either. We like the vines and fig trees God gives us. We read novels, go to movies, and listen to classical music but also jazz. We prefer ice cream to cotton candy. We cover movies, yoga, artists and travel; we aren't Christians with rules against anything that's fun because God made fun, too. We cover all aspects of the news: national, international, and cultural; politics and business; medicine, science, technology, and sports. We have feisty columns and religious reflections. We even have cartoons and a page with funny or strange stories of the week. But what matters the most is this: We believe in a God who tells the truth and wants us to do the same. If that sounds good to you, click here, follow the instructions, make your choice, and we'll get your subscription started right away.
