On the Desktop
Another evangelistic tool!

In 2011 the Japanese experienced a devastating earthquake. At that time, we mounted a new site related to it named www.IsGodMad.com with the intent of keeping it up for only a year.

It is now, 2104 and the number of hits the site has generated has merited a serious effort to revise it for more effective use. Jim has just completed the desktop and tablet versions of the new site - (so it may be a little rough) - and we invite you to visit it on your desktop (ideal) or on your tablet.  In any case, here's what you can do...

1. Pray for the ongoing effectiveness of this new outreach effort!

2. Only if you like the site, request some (free) business sized cards. See below. These are ideal for leaving at restaurants, etc and are more easily kept in a purse or wallet than tracts.

3. The site screens multiple pages. When you see a page you particularly like, you can help us by "liking" it on Facebook.

Remember, small efforts can combine for big effects and any small effort to extend the usefulness of this site is welcome!

The site is new, so there are bound to be a few errors. You help immensely when you pass your observations along so we can repair them!

Here is a proposed facsimile of the business card which will be ordered soon. Let us know if you want some!


Website Makeover

 

After returning from our April-May road trip we turned our attention to badly needed web site overhauls. The Biblical Intensives site was getting far more hits for its study value than for folks looking for meetings, so we rebuilt the site to be more accommodating.

We hope you will visit the new site soon, even if it's just to take a peek at our new look. Study materials are more accessible. Although you will not notice, all of our PDF files will soon be web searchable. This task will take a couple weeks, but will open our sites to more resources globally.

Additionally, we hope to have a Google language translator available on our sites and we will be placing our blog more up front-and center as the Lord enables.

Take a peek at the new Intensives site:



A Slice of our Lives.


Many folks only see the proverbial "slice" of what the Lord has been doing through our personal ministry and the extended outreach of Breadcrumbs Ministries under the oversight of Bob and Kristin Thompson.

Together, we often minister to hundreds of folks in various walks of life, various spiritual states, and various localities across the U.S. and even overseas.  We carry on extended web conversations with folks in false systems, folks in bondage, folks who want to know more about the Bible, and folks with serious theological questions.  We do some reconciliation work, fill pulpits, and teach in our local church from time to time. In addition to our Intensives*, we are happy to conduct all-day Bible studies with as few as two or three persons!  As you may know, Jim has just finished writing his book which shouldn't be delayed much longer. We also produce short articles and videos from time to time. We have no interest in self promotion, but we did want to mention these things to help you pray more effectively for us.

Bob and Kristin write extensively and also teach group and women's classes. They are fast extending the publishing side of Breadcrumbs. Humanly speaking, they are our ministry "rocks," who keep us going.

The Future?

When, and as the Lord enables, here are some of the things you can pray about.

1. For a greater, more effective web outreach at home and around the world.

2. For our first internet Bible study - under the auspices of our upcoming Internet Bible Fellowship domain.

3. Weekly, if not daily, blog presence for those inclined to receiving daily thoughts and nudges.

Brethren, pray for us!

* We never set a price on our ministry and desire to go wherever the Lord leads.  However, we do ask that folks who use our ministry make a special effort to announce our Intensives and encourage attendance in advance of the scheduled dates, unless, of course, we are just conducting an all-day home-based seminar.
