1) Great Responses on “Which VPN Should we Use?”

A couple of weeks ago, we re-ran the question, “Which VPN?” thinking it had been tool long since we asked. There are so many great responses, the best way to catch them all is just to go to the post and look through the comments..

Recall that a VPN keeps your browsing (and other internet activities) anonymous. You’ll need a VPN operating in and out of sensitive lands AND the Wi-Fi hotspot down the street, if someone might be there harvesting computer data that allows them to steal your identity. Ouch.

3) Where are the African American Missionaries? Here they are..

The NAAMC has a simple goal: to encourage African Americans to join the harvest. Today, millions of people live and die without hearing God’s good news. God is asking for people to go, will you respond with “send me?” In 2014, The National African American Missions Conference emerged from the partnership of the Great Commission Global Ministries and SIM USA. Their conference is slated for June 22-24 at the McLean Bible Church Conferencing Center. Learn more at…
