Articles and More!

Dear Reader, 

This SRN website is an interim site that, Lord willing, I will eventually replace with a much bigger I am working on. A vast amount of material still needs to be migrated from my older Archived Website. My chronic back pain and medical issues have greatly slowed me down, but progress is being made and I rejoice in the Lord every day because many people are being helped through my various outreaches. If you'd like to help support our new SRN website build, please see the gift options on our Donate page. We don't receive any personal funding from the gifts toward our ministry; everything goes straight back into the work. Here also is my Missions website if you are interested. All for the Lord's glory!

Thanks for prayers and support—as the Lord leads!
Chris Lawson, SRN Administrator
