OUR INTERNET MINISTRY

for the kingdom. To see this, just GOOGLE
terms like “Christian Internet Ministry”,
“Web Evangelist”, “Internet Minister”, “How
to avoid Internet temptation” . Volunteer
opportunities to use your computer to share
your faith will be listed in January, 2010.
OUR TEAM
 We are grateful for the team of volunteers
that make our ministry possible. Many have
been discipled through our ministry and
they are now giving back to the next
generation. We are grateful to our active
and involved Board of Directors of
dedicated Christians for providing
leadership and oversight. Our Director,
Rev. Scott Reese, (B.S. in Pastoral
Theology, and a Master of Ministry from
Moody) has been blessed with an unusual
background—over 30 years of cross
cultural ministry including 18 years as a
pastor of an African American Congrega-
tion and preaching on a regular basis to a
Chinese congregation for over 20 years. It
is our prayer and desire to use this unique
background to help churches with racial
reconciliation issues.
