Dear Friends and Support Team,

Greetings in the Name of our Risen Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We revel in the fact that the Father approved of the sacrifice of His Son and raised Him from the grave. He, and He alone is worthy of our worship. We count it a privilege to serve Him in this ministry and we are excited that you are partners with us. God continues to bless the dissemination of information via the internet. We thought maybe we had peaked earlier in the year but last month we hit a new high for log-ons. The exciting thing is that the majority of the log-ons are first-timers. That tells us that we are building up a large store of users who may return when they need something. In March, 196 people per day logged on to our Web site.

Always bear in mind that we are not in the information business for its own sake. We are a ministry and we desire that the information always lead to a greater understanding of who God is and that His way be more clearly understood. In otherwords, if our information does not clarify the Word of God and its application for life, we are failing in our mission. Please make this a focus as you pray for us.

Maybe you recall that last year sometime I mentioned to you that the book: MODERN FASCISM by Gene Edward Veith, Jr., was the most significant book I had read last year. I felt its message was so important that I have summarized it for this month's briefing outline. I must confess that it was one of the most disturbing and depressing I have ever done. As I write this letter a suspect in the Unabomber case has been arrested after an 18 year search. As I read about this man's beliefs I was struck by his apparent agreement with the major tenets of fascism, yet you will likely never hear the news media call him a fascist, nor will he ever confess to being one. The fact is, he holds to `much of fascist ideology. He is not alone.

Thank-you so much for your participation. Pray that God will direct and bless C.I.M. in its Tenth Anniversary year.

For Christ and His Kingdom,

Bill Crouse
