1. New web host, New Site
Design
Yes, we have a new web host.
We have been busy moving to our new address and renaming
some files to accomodate new and upcoming features.
As a result you may find a few broken links at the
new site but we are sure that you will enjoy the new
features that will be available that our new host
provides. We are working hard to correct all broken
links. While you may continue to access our site at
the old location, you will find that many of the links
are no longer functional. We will not be updating
the old site and soon you will not be able to reach
us there. We suggest that you update your bookmarks
to reflext our main site gateway entrance http://www.godsgospel.com.
From there you will always be able to find us no matter
what company hosts our server.
The webmaster has a new email
address. The old address will cease to function in
a month or two. Please update your address book with
the new email address: webmaster@godsgospel.every1.net
The new site has been completely
revamped. We believe that it will make it easier for
you to find what you are looking for no matter what
part of God's Gospel site that your are on. It will
also make it easier for us to add new features as
