Literacy and Evangelism InternationalLiteracy and Evangelism International (LEI) is a missionary fellowship that desires to see the Church effectively reaching the illiterate (non-reading half of the world) in every nation, bringing them the Living Word, Jesus Christ, through enabling them to read the written Word of God. LEI assists churches and missions with materials and training for basic literacy by developing Bible-content basic readers (primers) in any language. We employ the best practices of linguistic methods in creating phonetically based basic readers, while integrating the life-changing story of Jesus Christ. LEI develops church leaders and missionaries in ministries of basic literacy, sending them to strategic locations around the world to nurture church-based literacy programs.

Web: www.oneby1.org Presbyterian Action for Faith & FreedomPresbyterian Action for Faith and Freedom is a committee of the Institute on Religion and Democracy (IRD). Presbyterian Action defends and promotes biblical values within the Presbyterian Church (USA). It challenges national church pronouncements when they are unbiblical, unwise, or unbalanced. Presbyterian Action believes that the most powerful political message the church can deliver is simply the gospel of Jesus Christ, not any partisan agenda. Presbyterian Action speaks out at the General Assembly for the many Presbyterians who feel excluded by the dominant activist circles of the left. Presbyterian Action is one of several IRD committees, including committees for Religious Liberty, the United Methodist Church, and Anglicans.

Presbyterians For Faith, Family and MinistryPresbyterians for Faith, Family and Ministry (PFFM) provides resources and study materials that assist Presbyterians in clearly proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ as the only Lord and Savior. PFFM's bi-monthly publication, Theology Matters, includes articles that help Presbyterians examine issues facing the family, the church and the larger culture in light of Reformed faith derived from Scripture and expressed in the Confessions. PFFM is convinced that an obedient understanding of family and ministry can only grow out of faith in Jesus Christ that is based on Scripture and is free from compromise with false teachings. Rev.

Web: www.pfrenewal.org and www.npwl.org Presbyterians Pro-LifePresbyterians Pro-Life (PPL) is an independent, nonprofit corporation made up of members and pastors of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and is a voice for renewal in our denomination. While most other pro-life groups focus on legislation and the political debate, Presbyterians Pro-Life is different. Our focus is on the Church. We apply the truth of Scripture and the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to issues of life and sexuality, and call the Church to do that as well. Our hope is to see our Church so administer the means of God's grace that all God's people are warned away from sin, and that those who sin are led gently to repentance, have assurance of forgiveness, and are restored fully to fellowship with God and with the community of believers in the Church. We seek to be an active instrument of Godly change in our denomination by working through and influencing Church government. We call the church to a corporate commitment to the protection of innocent human beings all of them made in the image of God from conception to natural death. We assist congregations who want to offer alternatives to abortion to women facing crisis pregnancies. We publish materials and speak in the public forum of the Church.
