Mission Ireland

The new Explore App

The new Explore App is free to download.

 

What is it?
An App for mobile devices that means you can read Explore bible notes on your phone or tablet computer.

Who can use it?
Anyone with an iPhone (3G, 3GS or 4), iPad, iPod Touch, Android phone or Android tablet. You can download it in pretty much any country in the world - you don't have to be in the UK or US.

How does it work?
It comes with Time with God pre-installed, so as soon as you download it, you can start using it to read the Bible. All relevant Bible text is included within the App (including cross-references) and once you've downloaded it, you don't need to be connected to the Internet to use it. So you can use it on the Tube, on a flight etc. You can download additional notes from within the App which are the same as the paper edition, although they come in one month chunks, not three months.

How much is it?
It is free to download, complete with Time with God. Additional months of notes cost £1.49 in the UK (in the US it's $1.99). These can be downloaded from the Download section of the App.

How do you get it?
If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, visit the Apple App store and search for "Explore Bible Devotional". (http://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/explore-bible-devotional/id482034447?mt=8)
If you have an Android device, visit the Android Market and search for "Explore Bible Devotional". (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.thegoodbook.explore&feature=searc)
It is not possible to download this App from The Good Book Company website.

Church Resources 2012

 

16 + 17 February 2012
Ramada Hotel, Shaw’s Bridge, Belfast

Church Resources 2012 is a stimulating, information-packed, 2-day event for everyone who is actively involved in the life and witness of local churches across Ireland.

The event provides encouragement and practical help through an extensive seminar programme and presents a wide range of relevant resources through the 80 stands which make up the exhibition hall. Full details can be found on the event website: www.churchresourcesonline.com

Seminars and Resources

Seminars and Exhibitors’ Presentations will be delivered under the topics: Leadership, Local Community, Mission, Pastoral Care and Youth. Speakers at Church Resources 2012 will ground their presentations by giving practical advice - as much as theological context. Please note that while there is no charge for admission to the event, tickets for seminars must be booked in advance (this can be done online at www.churchresourcesonline.com

Resources on display fall into 2 categories: those which cover the ’nuts and bolts’ requirements of churches e.g. Sound Systems, Lighting, Heating and Furniture; and those which assist with the spiritual/pastoral side of church life e.g. Teaching and Study materials, Outreach resources and Bibles and books.

Jesus is Alive

1 Corinthians 15:3, 4 & 14 NLT  Christ died for our sins, just as the scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, as the scriptures said.  If Christ was not raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your trust in God is useless

Help Rebuild Egypt

Dear Friends,

The eyes of the world have been on Egypt, wondering if a very courageous revolt demanding the resignation of the President, reforming the constitution, and ending corruption, would possibly succeed.  Protected, and yet not assisted, by our armed forces, these hundreds of thousands of protesters, at great risk to themselves, persisted stubbornly in their revolt for 18 days until Friday, February 11, when President Mubarak resigned and the Army promised to fulfill the protesters' demands.  They have already dissolved both houses of parliament, suspended the constitution and are now working towards the rebuilding of both in time for presidential elections in September.

"For God so loVed the world,

          that He gAve

               His onLy

               begottEn

                     SoN,

                          That whosoever

          believethI In Him

               should Not perish,

            but have Everlasting life."
