As part of the 60 year celebration for the Foundation for Evangelism, you can now keep up with the happenings of the Foundation by either Twitter or Facebook.
March 2009 rolls in with an update to the blogroll list with several new additions.

For 60 years the mission of the Foundation For Evangelism has striven toward the goal of raising up leaders with a passion for Evangelism.
As part of this heritage, the Foundation has always worked toward sharing this passion with others.
Part of this shared idea is present with a redesign of the main website located at
http://foundationforevangelism.org
As we enter 2009, we plan a few extra updates.
The website itself will receive and overhaul to hopefully make this resource more user friendly. We will also be adding a page of feeds, where you may go to for reading all blogs in one place.
For now, we have updated our Blogroll with new sites.
Our blogrolls and podcasts lists continue to grow, and here is a quick update of our latest additions.
Goin' Deeper - Created by Marty Cauley,Professional leadership and team trainer whose greatest desire is to help you discover your God-shaped destiny!
Welcome to our new series.
Each month we will be looking to spotlight a blog from our very popular Blogrolls and Podcasts lists.

This month we interview Andy Rowell, a Doctor of Theology Student, Duke Divinity School, Durham, North Carolina and discuss his blog at http://andyrowell.net
This series will focus on the latest events, schedules and teachings of the Professors of Evangelism.
As we continue this series, we will be adding an event calendar to track current speaking engagements or other upcoming travels down the road.
Our first post is about Leonard Sweet.
GodTube.com is a website the allows members to upload videos of sermons, music, worship services, and programs they feel "Broadcast Him." It serves as a gathering place online, but also allows visitors to embed video on their personal websites. Many of the videos posted on GodTube.com have an evangelistic message and was the single fastest-growing site on the Web after it launched in August 2007.
Sunday, April 27 is Internet Evangelism (IE) Day. If your church or ministry is using the web as an outreach or evangelism tool, or if you're interested in starting a website for this purpose, IE Day is a great way to raise awareness and join with others around the world to learn about the potential of the Internet in ministry.
Celebrate Internet Evangelism Day. The IE Day website has many helpful tools and resources to get you started.
Make sure to watch the latest articles as they are added. We now include a "Share This" button which allows you to either post a blurb about an article from the Resources site to Myspace, Facebook, Digg and more.
You may also email the article to friends or family or fellow parishioners.
Thank you for visiting. We hope these tools bless you and your ministry!
