Christian organisations which some of our own members are involved with

London Theological Seminary.  Local to us, in Finchley N3.

Oak Hill Theological College.  Also local to us, in Cockfosters.

Christians at Work.  Helping to mobilise Christians to live out their faith in the world of work: establishing and supporting Workplace groups; encouraging individuals as they serve Jesus in their daily work and shine as lights for Him amongst their colleagues and customers; challenging local churches to remember that the secular workplace is a "mission field" just as much as being a "missionary" abroad; and providing resources.

Christian Solidarity Worldwide.  A non-denominational Christian charity which works for the religious liberty of persecuted Christians, helping others suffering repression, children in need and disaster victims throughout the world.

Soul in the City.  Thousands of young people are to converge on Greater London for 12 days of co-ordinated activity, established in partnership with local churches, from 26 July 2004 to 6 August 2004.  Find out more at this website.

Wycliffe Associates.  A support ministry for Christian workers abroad, providing practical help such as "keyboarding" (transferring draft Bible translations onto computer).  Their web-site includes free software games which give some insight into missionary work abroad.

Wycliffe Bible Translators.  More than merely translating the Bible: they may be the first workers to put a spoken language into writing - and, after part of the Bible has been translated and printed, the people need to be taught to read their own language.  (Our link is to the UK branch; for the worldwide HQ website, click here.)

InterServe.  An international and interdenominational fellowship of Christians committed to each other in partnership and for service to the peoples of Asia and the Arab World.  Founded in 1852.

The Messianic Testimony.  Working among Jewish people in various countries to show them that Jesus, who was Himself born a Jew, is their long-foretold Messiah.  They have a useful online bookshop.

Christian teaching ministries

Here are just a few suggestions.  With all teaching, the Bible says "weigh what is said", checking for yourself whether the Bible confirms it, as the devout people in Berea were commended for doing (Acts 17: 11-12).

You may be able to buy their books at our local Christian bookshop: 

Or see our "Yet More Links" page for buying via the Internet.
  

Creation or Evolution?

There is a general assumption today that "Evolution" is a scientific fact (when actually it is a theory), and that if the world and all living creatures "evolved", then that happened spontaneously without God.  There is another view!  Here are some sites which express it:

Changing Society through Christian Ethics

Community involvement

TaxEfficient Giving (UK)

There are several schemes which enable tax-payers to give to a single account with one organisation, which handles all reclamation of tax and then provides vouchers and a plastic "charity card" to enable donations to be made to charities and full-time Christian workers.  They can usually arrange regular standing orders as well as one-off gifts.

Sovereign Giving:  www.sogive.org.uk  In our experience, this charged the lowest administration fee of the 3 organisations listed here.  But from 1st July 2004, they have merged with Stewardship Services.

Stewardship Services:  www.stewardshipservices.org/gs_include_ssaccnt.asp  This one is particularly well-organised for giving to full-time Christian workers who are not employed by registered charities (for example, itinerant preachers).

Charities Aid Foundation:  www.cafonline.org/individual/best/default.cfm  This one is a secular organisation, much larger than the other two, and with higher admin charges because it uses its profits to do pioneering work with newly-forming charities in Eastern Europe and the developing world.
