'God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform. He plants his footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm', sung William Cowper. Check out Puritan and other Reformed poetry on Fire and Ice at http://www.puritansermons.com/poetry.htm

Storms rage fiercer in some places than others: http://www.comeandsee.co.il is a welcoming Middle East newswire and information service run by Christians based in Nazareth. Pooling news from around the world, the service presents an up-to-date, balanced view of Christian life in the region. There are links to individual churches.

On the other hand, http://www.jewsforjesus.org is the resource-packed, ultra modern website of a well-known Christian charity run by Jews that seeks to proclaim Christ to Jews throughout the West. For a diversion take a look at its special Olympics page.

Finally, with the world's attention turning to Sudan, Frontline Fellowhsip, at http://www.frontline.org.za is a Bible-based African mission with a history of work in the country. The website details useful literature on the country. http://www.intouchmission.org also carries out projects in the country and http://www.ethnicharvest.org/peoples/countries/sudan.htm has various Christian hymns and literature aimed at people with a Sudanese heritage.

A brief look at some of the newest offerings from websites on the internet (and some older ones too)
