I am happy to announce that the Jesus Connect Ministries Website has been revived by my friend and co laborer in Christ Reynold DeGuzman. Reynold and I have been involved in Internet ministry for about 15 years now. Jesus Connect used to be a BBS system located in Houston Texas back in the early 90's.
For those of you that do not remember what a BBS actually is , it is a personal computer that runs BBS software and has a modem. There were and still are BBS lists out there that you can download and you can plug in a phone number and use a BBS client software (hyperterm) and log on. Those were the good ole days and I remember them quite well. I ran a BBS called Cross Connection BBS and I remember running it on a host of various hardware platforms. The first machine that I ran Jesus Connect BBS on was a 286 with a 300 mb Western Digital Caviar harddrive with 4 mb of ram. I also ran Jesus Connect on an x86 with MFM drives. Those drives got so hot that I could heat my condo from that alone.
Jesus Connect Ministries got its start in the BBS world and as the World Wide Web took off Reynold ported the BBS contents over to HTML and we were able to enter into the global audience. If you can get on the Internet and surf the web then you could find Jesus Connect Ministries. There were several men and women other than Reynold and myself who helped to make this ministry effort possible. Some of us are still around and some of us have moved on to other things. Our friend and co laborer in Christ John Searcy went home to be with Jesus several years ago. His wife Nancy still lives in the Houston area with her family.
The "new" Jesus Connect website is a mixture of OLD content from yesteryear and new content. I would encourage you to visit and look around. If there is something that can be added or changed that would make it better then let us know.
