With the presence of numerous refugees and political entities these pastors will have an important role in their country. Pray for the church and the leaders of local churches in Kenya. They will need wisdom from above to navigate these issues, serve their flock, and preach the Gospel.
Each conference will have 100 pastors in attendance. For more information and opportunities to partner financially in this endeavor please learn more at Bible.org.

Tips and Tricks: NETBibleTagger
The game is simple. All who wish to participate in the sword drill raise their Bibles in the air. When the the verse is given and the leader yells, "charge" the players scramble to find it. Pages shuffle until the person who finds it first stands and begins to read the Scripture reference aloud. Hello candy bar!
|

When you're accessing Bible.org's articles the NETBibleTagger wins this game every time. Like the fastest guy in a sword drill the NETBibleTagger instantaneously displays a popup box over every verse (or chapter) that appears as a link. But you don't have to feed it a candy bar! Very simple isn't it?
In the example, Psalm 23 appears as a blue link:
Mouse over the verse (or chapter) that appears as a link and the NETBibleTagger displays the verse in a clean looking popup box. No click. No hassles. No need to navigate away from the article to look it up. It's pure genius. Just scroll up and down within the popup box to read more.
Mouse away from the verse and the popup box is gone. |
