Looking ahead --->
Hi all, let's look ahead and prayerfully ask about how this venue might fit into the future. The site is finally functional and has good potential if God wills.
Good news! We are just getting started and have already found 2 others who are eager to assist and oversee. They are proven workers and are already quite active elsewhere in the Lord's Vineyard. @irnawan silitonga and @Onesmas Riungu.
In view of the grim statistics about traditional church closures, we are very concerned. We believe that many churches can and should be saved, along with their property if they own any. This will require honest evaluation and simplification in every possible way - thus simple church.
Some failing churches will need to depend less upon their denominational headquarters and their seminaries, if those have been corrupted. Sadly, this is usually the case. Many exceptions, thankfully.
Looking forward, we are more interested in challenging unscriptural systems - not waging endless war with individual saints. We are not interested in duplicating the efforts of others - we have plenty of unique free content of our own to publish. We are interested in activating every believer into service or ministry (diakonia).
If you did not notice, we are advocates of a commercial-free version of Christianity. Requiring that we take a look at modern methods of church finance and the associated traditions.
Nor do we want to fall out with any saint over pet doctrines. Our unity is much deeper than that. We are definitely not here to attack other believers. Many other sites have that covered. Our beliefs are offensive enough...
So, we desire to see mass conversions, which will result in more churches and in some churches getting a needed refresh! More voluntarism on the part of men, women, and even youth! More of Jesus pulling down the strongholds in every area of life and learning - in every neighborhood in every country.
What would YOU like to see with regard to this site? And how might you fit in?

In the above post I mentioned "grim statistics". Here is the source.
According to predictions, one third of the country's 350,000 Christian congregations are "on the brink of extinction."
