MORNING STAR TECHNICAL SERVICES http://www.MorningStar.Org Comment: "I collected the World Christian Internet Resources, and typed the text of that famous old We Are World Christians! poster, out of simple frustration. I saw that the existing Christian information resources on the Interet were focused primarily on nurturing the North American church. Few carry any material to help mobilize the church for its assault on the gates of Hell, particularly when the battle is carried cross-culturally, behind enemy lines." RAS, MorningStar Tech Services.
