| Resources for Missionaries | ||
| Category | Item | Description |
| The following collection of links should generally inform, offer resources, educate, entertain, and probably mystify primarily missionaries, and especially missionaries with a focus on youth. I have checked every site, and as of 23 September 2003, they all work. Be advised: you might not agree with the content of every site! I vouch no claim of orthodoxy, theological correctness, inoffensiveness, or even accuracy for any of the sites listed below. Finally, the descriptions are generally my own thoughts and comments and do not necessarily reflect what is on the site itself...or what the webmasters of each particular site might say about themselves! So...enjoy! And I hope I've helped you, eased your pain, or at least made you laugh with this collection of (mostly) excellent websites! | ||
