INT'L FOOLS FOR CHRIST: Who are we?

A simple supra-rational summary of who I serve with:
International "Fools" for Christ.
We are one organism, but cannot organize ourselves.
Instead, the head directs our steps.

International: 2 Chronicles 16:9
Fools: Proverbs 17:24
for Christ: 2 Corinthians 4:12-13

Those who seek the face of God like David. (Psalm 27, 34)

Those who expect life from the barren & resurrection from death like Abraham. (Hebrews 11:11-12, 19)

Those who, like Paul, find a peace beyond psychology. (Philippians 4:5-8)

Those who persevere for the blessing like Jacob (Genesis 32:26).

Those who, like Moses, would see the unseen by faithfully looking to Jesus. (Hebrews 11:27)

Those who find a joy which cannot be adequately expressed in human language & is full of glory. (1 Peter 1:8-9)

Those who daily long to know the the unknowable love which is in Christ Jesus alone. (Ephesians 3:14-21)

We are those who have found the city of God, not geographically bound.
We are those who have found redemption, not with gold or silver.
We are those who have been saved, though not by ourselves.
We are those who have hope, against any human hope.

We have lost our own minds in order to gain the mind of Christ.
We have lost our own strength in order to know the power of God.
We have become as nothing that we might know the supply of the Holy Spirit.
We have become as rubbish in order to find rubies for the King's crown.

INTERNET - Research for Missions

Clarence Bos <cbos@execulink.com>, Internet Missions Research
(http://www.internetmissionsresearch.com)

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.com).
Or you might first try the Network for Strategic Missions' KnowledgeBase
(http://www.strategicnetwork.org/index.php?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.
