INTERNET - Research for Missions
Clarence Bos <cbos@execulink.com>, Internet Missions Research
(http://www.internetmissionsresearch.co m)
A growing amount of information on the web is not searchable
by ordinary search engines. This so-called "deep web" contains
up to 500 times as much information as the "surface" web. Primary
documents, such as journal articles can often be found only by
querying their respective databases one by one.
Internet Missions Research can help you find what you need and
spend less time searching. Missionaries, church planters, and
evangelists are encouraged to submit requests, especially if
they are in developing countries and lack high-speed or affordable
Internet connections.
Sample questions:
"We are thinking of planting a church in this area. What can
you find out about it to help us in our planning?"
"I would like to communicate with other missionaries in a situation
that is similar to mine. Can you help me find a discussion group
or network of like-minded people?"
To request help for missions-related questions, log on to Internet
Missions Research (http://www.internetmissionsresearch.co m).
Or you might first try the Network for Strategic Missions' KnowledgeBase
(http://www.strategicnetwork.org/index.p hp?loc=kb), which maintains
archives of eight mission journals.
EDITOR’S NOTE: We also like MisLinks (http://www.mislinks.org),
the extensive library of links maintained by top-notch researchers
Scott Moreau and Mike O’Rear.
