"Thank you so much for permission to use the material from your resources. I have enjoyed speaking this month on "Preachers of Righteousness" and the materials really aided my effort. It's good to have dates, names, and comments when speaking about individuals; it greatly animates the character of those wonderful people who contributed so much to the kingdom, but who have passed from this life. Thanks again. God bless.”

The Archives web site is one of our most important outreach tools. The site contains thousands of collection guides, documents, images, reports and other materials. People surfing the web discover these and then contact the staff for more information. Because of the web, hundreds of people have very specific needs met from our collections and people find out about it who otherwise would not have known that the Archives exist. And of course many more use the site's documents, exhibits, and information without ever getting in touch with the staff. Although renovations caused some dust to fly in the real world Archives, the cyber Archives was untouched. Altogether, we had 5,807,896 hits and 1,182,899 visits. (this was the first year in which our site had over a million visits). Click here to see the web site statistics |

In October the Archives made available at its website a page with dozens of audio recordings, texts of papers, and photographs from the World Congress of Evangelism. Forty years ago, on October 25, 1966, Billy Graham had launched his first great international venture when he opened the Congress in West Berlin in cooperation with Carl Henry and Christianity Today magazine. At this meeting Protestant Evangelical Christians (theologians, evangelists, church leaders) from around the world met, most for the first time. They began to build relationships that led to much closer cooperation and future conferences, such as the 1974 International Congress on World Evangelization (the Lausanne Congress) Among the speakers were John Stott, Rene Pache, Carl Henry, Corrie ten Boom, Festo Kivengere, Akira Hatori, V. Raymond Edman, Francis Schaeffer, Rachael Saint, Yaeti Kimo,Gikita Komi, Kyung Chik Han, Ishaya Audu, Oswald Hoffman, A. W. Goodwin Hudson, Chandu Ray, Ted Engstrom, and Ben Wati. Although the Congress was sponsored by two American organizations and was planned and financed largely by Americans, the papers at the conference gave many indications of the explosive growth of the church in Africa, Asia and Latin America as well as a shifting center of gravity from the Western to non-Western cultures. |
