Just to highlight another popular Christian portal, take a look at gospelcom.net.  Go ahead and browse through their home page, try a few links, then come back.  

One of the great benefits of sites like crosswalk.com and gospelcom.net is that they let you do a filtered search on the entire web using their "safe search" feature.  This works similar to Alta Vista's "family filter" to screen out objectionable material.

Of course, there are several other Christian gathering places, or starting points, like these on the Internet.  Now that you know they exist, you'll be able to find some that group the information in a way that suits you best.  

Before we leave these two popular portals though, you might want to go back to them using the links above and  bookmark them in your browser to find your way back to them quickly.  

Finding a Ministry Online

You can often find a particular ministry or company online by opening your browser (i.e. Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) and typing the ministry name followed by .com or .org or .net.  

For instance, type billygraham.org to go to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association website.  Type joycemeyer.com for Joyce Meyer Ministries.  Type gospellight.com for the Gospel Light Vacation Bible School curriculum.  

Some have even shorter abbreviations, such as family.org for Focus on the Family.  My own online ministry is called The Ranch, and you can find it by typing theranch.org.  

(By the way, I hope you'll take some time to take a tour of The Ranch after this workshop.  I'll go into more detail about it in the workshop called "Your Church on the Internet" and share how I use it to get the message of Christ out to people around the world.)

Let's continue our tour of helpful Internet research tools with a look at some secular sites on the next page.
