2011 has once again shown us that bible.org is meeting your needs in many ways, some small and others a particular need. Here are some snippets of praises sent just in January. Thank you for taking time to share!

From Pastor Rodney: Dear Bible.org staff, I cannot begin to tell you how much of a blessing your website has been to me. Thank you for making yourselves available for God to use. Thank you for humbling yourselves for Him to use. I am going to subscribe to the Bibliotheca Sacra journal soon. Thanks again.
From: D.VENKATESWARLU: "Praise the Lord''

From Tony: I am impressed by the study of Elijah the man. I have entertained questions about this major prophet and his odd behavior. thanks for sharing your view.

Facebook is so much a part of today's social environment that a recent
movie about it has received Oscar nominations. Facebook enables us to connect with loved ones, long-lost or otherwise. It can enable personal communication over the computer, or reignite interests or hobbies. Join us on Facebook where we post biblically relevant articles and engage each other in thought provoking truth. Almost 14,000 people have joined http://facebook.org/bible.org. If you haven't yet, come check it out and join the conversation.
In February, we'll be discussing topics like the Salvation ("Soteriology"), Theology of God ("Theology Proper"), Worship, and Creation.

NET BIBLE LENTEN BLOG TOUR 2011: Coming in March bible.org will have a special section called a Lenten Blog Tour. There are still slots available if you would like to try your hand at blogging and sharing the Good News about Lent and Easter. If you want to write a blog for us, send SonShine a sample blog for consideration. We will let you know by email if your writing is accepted and will assign a slot to you.

HEARTPRINTS: We welcome three new Bloggers to Heartprints: Ed Gossein, Jody Capehart and Chris Kemp. Jody will move between Tapestry and Heartprints. We thank God for these to fill our week with ideas for ministry for Children.

STAY TUNED: Part of Nathan Gunter’s Heartprints blog post will be featured in an independent writer’s article for the April/May Outreach Magazine. We thank God for this opportunity for Nathan to shine!

TAPESTRY: The month of February is a month of showing God’s love to all we meet and to praise God for what He is doing. As part of being thankful and sharing God’s love, the Women’s Leadership Team will be hosting a Tapestry “ Valentine Tea and Crumpets” get together to thank each Tapestry blogger for their gift to bible.org as they keep us thinking about current and new ideas.

IMPACT: We welcome Thom Garrett and his writings on Ultra Christianity. Lance Ponder keeps us up to date on all of the news in Creation Science. And also for sure do not miss a chapter in Hall Warren’s story of the “Lord of the Scrolls”. Our men keep challenging us to think “outside the box”.

From the Director's Desk: Challenges come fast and furious to his desk. The phone lines ring and the emails come in. But, sometimes the Director takes time to read the current news of the day. So it happened that last week he was stopped in his tracks with the exciting news from California. What was this exciting news? Go and read about it on his newest blog post called: "Can We Rescue Our Culture?".

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY: EXCITING NEWS: If you remember in our January newsletter we had thoughts of looking ahead to 2011 and one item on that agenda was a Children’s Ministry Newsletter. We are happy to report that God has brought us three gals who have volunteered to assist us in this endeavor. So we praise God for Joanne, Susan, and Christina. This is a start and for that we are so grateful to the Lord. And to add to that praise, God has also given us a Ph.D. student who will begin to help us transform much of the training documents into real life distance education modules. Thank you Lord for Harriet! And more news: God has given us a new graphics illustrator, Sheryl, who will help in organizing the “Children’s Library's Bookshelf and Card Catalog". And also a new volunteer, Jeannie, who will help organize the articles into the “Children’s Library”.

WOMEN’S MINISTRY:
Behind the scenes the Women’s Leadership Team are busily working on developing their Handbook of Goals and Ideas for 2011. We welcome Claudia McGuire and Sharifa Stevens to the women’s leadership team.

Michael Garrett, one of the bible.org team who lives in the snowy Northeast has been “out and about” meeting different pastors. His church has nicknamed the “Bible Man” for his enthusiasm over the NET Bible. He and two pastors from his church are working on a new New Testament NET Bible project for discipling new believers.

The “Hat Lady” was out sharing the news of bible.org once again. She was invited to the Trinity Fellowship Seniors Ministry Luncheon where she shared about the bible.org ministry and the NET Bible. If your church has a Senior’s Ministry and would like for her to come and share, drop _SonShine_ her a note for an appointment time. Or any other ministry as well as she is open to sharing and enjoys meeting new people and telling them about bible.org
