MUSKEGON, MI (November 4, 2008) \u2013 A member of Forest Park Covenant Church<\/a> is organizing a trip to bring free dental care to the Youth Haven Bible Camp in Beattyville, Kentucky.
\n
\nThe trip will take place from March 21 to March 28, 2009. Kentucky Mountain Mission<\/a> operates the camp. The clinic, which will operate three days, is held in the camp\u2019s gymnasium.<\/p>\n

For many of the people in the area, the week may be the only time they receive dental care during the year, Gordon says.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe desperately need dentists, dental hygienists, and assistants,\u201d says Gordon. During one trip, a single dentist pulled 1,100 teeth.<\/p>\n

Dental chairs are onsite, but participants are asked to bring their own equipment. Cost per person for food and lodging is $50 for Saturday through Wednesday, and $100 for Saturday through Saturday.<\/p>\n

Gordon says the group will work with people who want to go, but may be deterred by financial issues. Childcare can be made available.<\/p>\n

For more information email Gordon<\/a> or call 231-744-5444.<\/p>\n

Bayside Pastor Quoted in \u2018What I\u2019ve Learned\u2019 Article<\/strong><\/p>\n

ROSEVILLE, CA \u2013 Ray Johnston, senior pastor of Bayside Covenant Church<\/a> in Roseville, is one of the national church leaders quoted in Outreach<\/em> magazine in an article entitled, \u201cWhat I’ve Learned so Far.\u201d Author Lindy Lowry sought comments from pastors of the 100 fasting growing churches in America.<\/p>\n

“Authentic worship and authentic Bible teaching are unbelievably attractive to people, and you can grow and reach people at the same time without watering anything down,” Johnston says. “The average church stops caring about outsiders after nine years and never recovers from it.”<\/p>\n

Beliefnet.com Now Offering Popular McKnight Blog<\/strong><\/p>\n

CHICAGO, IL \u2013 The award-winning website Beliefnet has begun hosting Jesus Creed<\/em><\/a>, the popular blog written by North Park University professor Scot McKnight.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the three and a half years of hosting this blog, I think we have established a way to communicate in a civil manner that is simply not found in many places in the Christian Internet,\u201d McKnight wrote in a post last month explaining the decision to relocate the blog hosting site. \u201cWe’d like to expand the community and we’d like to extend the kind of community we have here at Jesus Creed<\/em> to the Beliefnet.com community.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore, very few blogs have the mix of folks that we have – and we think moving to Beliefnet.com will not only expand the community, but will give you – the Jesus Creed<\/em> community – the opportunity to extend what we have done here to others,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n

McKnight says the blog receives on average between 100 and 200 emails a day.
