and provides multiple useful links with no maintenance of URL addresses. Great Biblical resources can be just a one-icon click away from your homepage for all your virtual visitors
rather than buried on a secondary list of favorites. 3. Why should we link our church site to eWindows?

Who writes the teaching material on the Acts One Eight sites? That information is available here. 16. Why do you include some links to sites not operated by Acts One Eight? The other links in grey are included because of their unique usefulness. However, Acts One Eight does not necessarily recommend all offerings or teachings on those other sites. 17. How can we suggest a link to be added to eWindows? You may suggest a link via email to contact@eWindows.org. However, sites suggested must meet all or most of the following: must be of particular usefulness to a very broad audience (not localized)

must have relevance to most adult age groups (teenage and up)
must have proven and continuing value

and must not harvest email addresses. Realistically, most sites will probably not be linked. 18. How can we make a suggestion or give feedback? We would love to hear from you

you may make copies with certain restrictions. All the Acts One Eight eMinistry is copyrighted. However, you may copy the lessons or teaching, unchanged, for free or at-cost distribution ... but only with its source identified and its copyright statement attached. No other parts of the eMinistry may be copied, repurposed, uploaded, posted, transmitted, or redistributed including but not limited to images, logos, graphics, and Web design. Translation is permitted with certain restrictions. It is our desire to maximize the worldwide use of this eMinistry. Permission to translate materials into other languages and the production of mirror sites in other languages may be permitted upon written request with certain limitations including doctrinal agreement and accuracy, excellence in translation and language, mutual free use, and purpose, Colossians 3:23-24. 20. Why is all of this free? The Internet is an effective and efficient vehicle for obeying the Great Commission ... online 24/7 to the remotest parts of the earth. All of the sites are free for anyone's use so that we can serve as many as possible. Many of those we serve need their limited resources to build the Kingdom in their own countries. Therefore, "Free" makes it possible to serve the maximum number of people throughout the world. However, the eMinistry does require significant resources. We need Gods full provision through people whose hearts and resources are with us in this work. We need people committed to reaching the vast online population
people who will enable the eMinistry through their financial support so that the grace which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God, 2 Corinthians 4:15. For those in the USA who have linked to the eWindows site, please consider supporting Acts One Eight as a mission serving in the vast mission-field of Cyberspace. Request further information about supporting this ministry by emailing to us.
