Chrysalis teams on the networks. The Emmaus and Chrysalis programs are meant to bring
Christians into a closer walk with the Lord. Mr. Geissler has also provided connections
to other ministries such as the Kairos Prison Ministry, some of the better Methodist
Church pages, and selected general resources. We are told that the Rio Grande Valley
community has a pretty good bunch of musicians as well, so when you visit this site you
will find a good list of worship tapes available at a reasonable price.

BREVIA PUBLISHING COMPANY & VOYLE A. GLOVER ESQ.
http://brevia.com/
The Bible says that God's Word does not return to Him unfulfilled. So it was that
when the Lord Jesus began addressing the scribes, there have been Christian lawyers.
Brevia Publishing Company is a Christian publishing company that has added a unique
contribution to the internet. Voyle Glover shares legal training and Christian principles
with visitors. There are plenty of thoughts fleshed out, and concerns shared in an
informal, easy-going way. Being a lawyer one would expect to find legal topics discussed
on Mr. Glover's page, and indeed Brevia Publishing offers a list of popular questions
with answers. Other areas of interest include such diverse subjects as Christianity,
The Old West, Current Events, Aliens, Prayer and the Bible, and Western Fiction, but
all are tied together with the mended mind and heart of a lawyer who has met the Lord.
Good reading. Brevia Notes, a series of articles by Voyle Glover, is described in the
Newsletters/ Journals section of this guide.
THE BRIDGE MINISTRIES
http://www.the-bridge.org/
"The primary vision of The Bridge is to lift the name of Jesus and to facilitate
the making of disciples of Jesus and the planting of churches in the most severely
under-serviced areas of the United States and around the World. ... to identify, train
and deploy those people God has sovereignly called to be part of the harvest. The intent
is to establish an indigenous network of world impacting, disciples of Jesus Christ,
who have a vision and are active in reaching every person in the world." - adapted
from the Vision Statement. The web site provides a number of pages touching upon The
Church (links for Christian internet resource lists, databases, and Xenox Christian
Fellowship); Cell Groups (including a file on Cell Church philosophy), and links to the
Cell Church archive, Power House Church, the Jesus Film, The Way House, Discipleship,
Motivation and Bible Study resources.; What's On god's Heart (Prayer Through the 10/40
Window, Brigada, and mission related web sites); Spiritual Gifts Discovery Tool from
Campus Crusade for Christ); and Bridge Communications, which includes a nifty World Wide
Web Prayer Conference.
BRIGADA: YOUR GATEWAY TO MISSION NETWORKING
http://www.brigada.org
Brigada purposes to be an "op center", a tool-box that can pull together the people, the
resources, and the networks to aid in completing the task of reaching specific cities and
people groups with the love of Jesus Christ. Included in this goal are the 100 Gateway
Cities targeted for special prayer in the Praying Through the Window campaign for
October. Brigada began with a simple question: What if a congregation or individual
wanted to actually go to one of those 100 Gateway Cities? What if there were two, or
three, or more? How would they ever meet? How could they pray for one another and share
strategies, ideas, and joint plans -- so that we won't all have to duplicate effort
and 'reinvent the wheel' during mobilization? From across the country, at AD2000 &
Beyond's International Office, to SIL, to Global Mapping, to MARC, to CIN, to David
Barrett's office, to Patrick Johnstone, and many others .... the message was the same...
we need a network such as Brigada to find out what are the opportunities, the resources,
and those responding. Brigada is a system of conferences and forums that allow you to
network with others who share common interests in sharing God's love with previously
unreached cities and peoples around the world. Basic information sections include
detailed information about Brigada's projects in missions; Brigada Today (current
international mission-related news); Advance (a super newsletter detailing mission
events and needs around the world); Reaching the Least Reached Peoples (an innovative
collection of tools to learn about People Groups, Prayer Profiles, and Cities,
including research from PGC Research Group, the Joshua Project, AD 2000 & Beyond, the
Caleb Project), detailed lists of the Brigada conferences, and links to related sites.
Highly recommended.
