WORRY -
     Anxiety over actual or potential problems

A Worry-Free Web Site!
Christian Crusaders Web site has a new look! Webmaster, Matthew Hundley, has put finishing touches on the newly-designed site, and it is up and running at www.christiancrusaders.org. Visitors will still find the same features, like a daily devotion and weekly sermon preview, but new information is available as well. They can read a description of each volume in Rev. Larsen’s DVD series. A Babel Fish tool allows the site to be translated into a variety of languages. A secure online donation page allows for convenient financial giving, and more. Everything is offered in a clear, easy-to-read format with a fresh new look.

The new Web site was introduced at Christian Crusaders’ sixth annual Board of Directors potluck on July 22. The potluck celebrated our current and former board members’ invaluable work in service of this ministry. This year’s gathering, A Journey in Christ, was travel-themed, complete with circulating flight attendants and a heartfelt message from the pilot, Rev. Larsen. Attendees got a sneak preview of the new site while “in flight.” Co-pilot, Janet, demonstrated some features of the new Web site to the guests, such as how to find hundreds of archived sermons.

Christian Crusaders.org has enjoyed a steady increase in the number of visitors to the Web site since last year, and the number of sermons heard online has increased dramatically. This makeover look is designed to attract even more new visitors to the site and help those visitors find what they are looking for more easily. The most popular features are front-and-center so they are easy to find, and buttons are placed in a more convenient position. Most exciting, once a visitor has reached the site, it doesn’t end there – the new Web site immediately guides visitors toward more ways to become involved in the ministry, from listening to the broadcast to ordering DVDs, from subscribing to the newsletter to providing financial support.

Be sure to check out the new Web site and see for yourself!

Casting Our Cares on Christ
One responsibility of the Board of Directors is to make certain the financial gifts given to Christian Crusaders are used responsibly and that we plan wisely to carry this ministry into the future.

In tough economic times such as these, when everyone’s finances are stretched to the limit, we at Christian Crusaders sometimes worry about the future. But then we are reminded of God’s provision for the last seventy-two years, making it possible for his Word to be heard over the radio by countless numbers of people. If it is his will, God will make it possible for Christian Crusaders to continue broadcasting for years to come.
How grateful we are for your prayers and your gifts, both of which keep this ministry focused on the truth of God’s Word and on sharing this truth with you!

On the Light Side
A family was staying overnight at a friend’s house in another town. At bedtime, a little girl told her mother that she was afraid to sleep alone in a different bedroom.

The mother assured the girl that God and her guardian angel would watch over her while she was asleep.

The girl replied: “Yeah, but I want someone with skin on them to sleep with me.”
