YCLA web update

We will be conducting some renovations on the YoungChristianLeaders.org site so it will be down for a couple weeks. We want to re-do it in such a way that it will be friendly and open, but also thought-provoking and authoritative.

Our target audience with the YCLA is more than likely going to be sharpened towards, for instance, home-schooling families, rather than including a huge array of people who will not be interested anyway.

Another possible target group could be those in small churches or house-churches. These people would be more anxious to associate with others of like mind. In many cases, they are also more in tune than some to Biblical issues, activism, creativity, and so on.

This Worldviews Revolution site has increased dramatically in the average amount of time readers spend here. It is my understanding from this fact that the site is now more readable after the makeover. Good! The average daily visitors have also increased by about a third. Finally, it looks like from the Sitemeter that Google searches account for almost half of our visits in the past week! How does that work? I re-design the site and suddenly Google sends me a whole bunch of traffic! Wow; these little coincidences...

My recent article on What Is A Biblical Worldview? has gotten some good attention as well.

In conclusion, please continue to pray for us and the YCLA. We need to keep working and THINKING if we are to get anywhere. It has been hard recently to be very creative, since we have been so busy with all our little problems. That's life - and this is not Walgreens LOL - but we can lead by example in every place we are, if nothing else. As our Pledge says:

"As a member of the YCLA, I shall ultimately strive to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, to promote the Biblical worldview, to restore liberty by the keeping of the just laws of God, to actively support those groups which have the aforementioned goals, and to lead not only fellow members of the YCLA, but also others I influence, to pursue the same objects."

God bless!
