Hub of Hubs

INTRODUCTION

2005-04-06T21:20:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the Hub of Hubs. My name is John S. Oliver. I am the founder of an innovative Christian educational nonprofit enterprise named Four Bridges Ministry www.fourbridges.org

Here you are at the central place that links to the various blogs and web sites that I have created over the years. Many of these blogs are collections of links to other web sites. I named many of those blogs with the term Hub. SO this is named the Hub of the Hubs.

This is like my portfolio. If I were a photographer then I would have a selection of my photos to show friends and prospective clients.

Also listed here are some of the projects that under construction. Your prayers are appreciate for the completion of them.

All of these are related to the call of God on my life to create an innovative Christian ministry. The initial products will be quarterly CDs. More about that will be described on a web site that is currently being developed.

The quarterly CDs and associated web site will offer three kinds of services, 1) information, 2) education and 3) networking contacts.

Presently I am transitioning into the initial fund raising phase. As the first few thousand dollars are raised then some of the initial staff will be hired. One of their projects is to explore the many links that branch off from this Hub of Hubs. We will work with consultants and web developers to create user friendly ways for people to browse and call up these sites. There will be ways for users to rank them from one to five stars and write brief reviews. Therefore those who come later will be able to more quickly get to the best parts of the Internet.

So in that context you can consider this as an initial rough draft. Much data is here is a fairly orderly arrangement. But in the coming months and years this will become much more visually appealing and more robust as a tool to explore the World Wide Web.

FIVE SERVICES

2005-04-06T21:19:00.000-07:00

Four Bridges Ministry www.fourbridges.org is made up of five services.

And those five services are:
Networking Hub
Educational Nucleus
Information Clearinghouse
Think Tank
Research and Development Lab

This Hub of Hubs blog will lead to the first service of Networking Hub.

Here is a one page overview that summarizes these five services http://tinyurl.com/7u8mf

LAUNCH TEAM

2005-04-06T21:18:00.001-07:00

It is very important to enroll a Launch Team in order to move the Four Bridges from the planning and preparation phases into the reality of open for business to the public. This Launch Team is made up of Intercessors, Advisors and Donors.

Intercessors
You are invited to pray and be led by the Holy Spirit as to which of the following links to explore. When you are there then know that this is just a hint of what will be made available in the coming years. Therefore your earnest prayers are needed now to get it launched. God will bring many other intercessors to pray over the way for further growth and development.

Advisors
There is a large variety of ministry related items that you can access from this hub. All of them can use your comments, suggestions and questions to help make improvements. Your inputs are welcomed here http://fourbridges.org/Feedback.html

Here is a web site just for the consultants and advisors http://4badvisorsconsultants.homestead.com/

Donors
Obviously Four Bridges Ministry http://www.fourbridges.org/ is a very ambitious enterprise. There are many complex needs to be met. A system of four communication bridges will allow people to connect in ways that have never happened before the Internet got to this stage.

Here is a web site addressed to the major donors http://majordonors.homestead.com/

What I offer is much more than just grand plans. From these links you will find a wide range of practical examples. These were all made by me alone and on a tiny budget. During the coming months there will be many thousands of dollars, many volunteers and paid experts. Then you will witness rapid and amazing changes. Your generous donation today will be used by God to bring that to others. What will truly bless you is to see how God used your contributions several years from now. http://www.fourbridges.org/Donate.html

EDUCATION NUCLEUS

2005-04-06T21:15:00.001-07:00

This is a great example of Christian Education in bite size units using multi media for free. RBC Ministries www.rbc.net The Theology Program www.thetheologyprogram.org and this site http://cc.christiancourses.com/ are models I wish to model in the coming months. I plan to use seminary students as the teachers. This is the service of Four Bridges called Education Nucleus. Lord willing there will be 1) ways to share text items as PDF files, 2) Power Point slide shows with and without voice over and 3) an abundance of three-minute audio messages. GO to these links to learn more

Teaching http://ears2hear.homestead.com/Teachings.html

Preaching http://ears2hear.homestead.com/Sermons.html

The vision for sharing these teachings, sermons, testimonies, interviews and much more over the Internet radio station is here http://ears2hear.homestead.com/Radio.html
