  • http://gospelcom.net - massive US site for all things Christian. Check out the Bible Gateway for an excellent cross referenced Scripture reading section

  • If ever there's an inspirational Christian gathering for the whole family - and the World Church, come to that - it's March for Jesus at www.gmfj.org

  • UCB Europe launched its first-ever internet broadcast recently via UCB-Inspirational. The station now operates four satellite radio channels on Astra 2; UCB Europe, as well as UCB Inspirational, UCB Bible and the latest station, UCB Talk. More are expected to follow.

  • Concerned about media standards? Pay a visit to the MediaWatch UK site to find out how you can make your voice heard: http://www.mediawatchuk.org

  • Thanks to the funding of a three-year development project by the Jerusalem Trust, Joseph Rank Benevolent Fund and the Laing Trust, Christian Deaf Link UK now have their first full-time staff member. Jo Pestell has now taken on the role of UK Development Co-ordinator. Check out their new website at www.ChristianDeafLink.org.uk.

  • There's a new Christian friendship and connections service online at christianconnection.co.uk. Connect with people you might never come across in your work, existing social life or church, they say. A free trial is available on the site. Unusually for a Christian service, there are twice as many men as women registered at the moment!

  • Want to make an impact on your community? Join the Rebuild project, which is driven by many of the main evangelical and social action groups, and aims to help local churches build bridges with local people and meet needs in their area. Everything's also gearing up for a special Community Week in July.

  • Students heading off to college for the first time this autumn might like to know that Fusion have redesigned their site. Check it out for news, training dates and info about their cell-based ministry

  • In business? The Scruples website "helps equip business people with spiritual values to operate in good conscience within the marketplace". One of the best features isa wide-ranging directory of the Christian business networks that operate worldwide, and resources to help run an ethical business. It's a service provided by Youth With A Mission, Marketplace Ministries, and Okanagan Target Marketing. Great information - just a pity about the site design and that dodgy purple at the top ...

  • Making a big impact at the moment in the aid and relief world are World Vision, who have just signed a deal with major UK Internet service provider Freeserve. The world's largest Christian relief and development agency helps more than 73 million people a year. You can also make a free donation of food to the Third World at The Hunger Site - at the click of a button.

  • Freshly updated and raring to go is the Care for the Family site (www.care-for-the-family.org.uk) - check it out for the latest tours, resources and information.

  • If your heart is particularly for the 1,000 children per week lost from church life in the 1990s, maybe the Turning the Tide seminar series running into April is the thing for you. Join more than 500 local church leaders for the Christian Research Association gatherings.

  • More and more people are living on the street across the world, and one Christian ministry is playing its part to reach them with the Gospel. Roger Marshall set up Street Life Ministries after being involved in the conversion of a drug dealer at Glastonbury, and now travels worldwide training and leading teams on the streets. Check out is site at http://www.streetlife.org.uk
