It depends on several factors. If the materials are from a well known organization, it can usually be a quick, turn-key process. Resources offered by not-so-well-known groups may take longer, since they will need to be reviewed by the Billy Graham Center. To determine where your organization and/or materials are on the time line, you may e-mail them at : ioe@wheaton.edu No organization will appear in the list of organizations until they have offered a resource which, in turn, has been approved. Note: Please do NOT just list the home page of your organization. The search engine is most helpful to believers when the submitter takes a few minutes to list each resoruce by title, good, concise description with key words, and corresponding URL.

No, not at all. We are only asking for links to your web pages where the full material is already available for viewing. In the case of PDFs, the same is true if the document files can be linked to your server, or we offer you the option where you can load them onto our server for faster downloading by the user.

The Evangelism Toolbox is a Kingdom site. It is sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ International, which has undertaken to raise the necessary funds. No partnering organization is required to help fund the site, though contributions are needed and welcome!

The Evangelism Toolbox contains materials from many organizations. The presence of a material or organization on this site does not infer an endorsement of that particular ministry, nor of that particular resource. Also, every person who visits this site may use the materials under their own recognizance. Furthermore, copyrights owned by the partnering organizaitons exist for each material and any changes by other individuals are expressly prohibited by law. You are free to print out any materials which are "readable" for personal use (but not for sale) so long as the copyrights are visible. You may not revise them or commit plagiarism. Thank you for honoring this request.

No, since it simply links to the materials on your server. However, remember to fill in key search words in writing your title and abstract so that the search engine will more effectively send people to your resources.

Yes. If you have not already done so, click on "New User" at the top right of the screen, and follow the instructions. You will be sent an e-mail with your password. Once you receive your password, you can change your password. Now new users can both register as well as add their organization information. It's decreases some of the confusion that the previous system may have given. Once registered you will get an approval if the organization information meets the standards. Note: your organization will not be listed until you have submitted at least one resource, and that, in turn, has to have been approved. Please do NOT just list your web site home page. The ETB search engine works best when you list each resource separately with its own title, description, and URL.

We feel God is leading us to create a multi CD-ROM version of the Toolbox similar to the version we gave to the 10,000 itinerant evangelists who attended Amsterdam 2000. This new "Global Evangelism Toolbox Set" {or GET Set} will be distributed to between 100,000 and 500,000 of the world's top evangelists, missionaries, evangelical pastors and lay people who may only have slow, filtered or no access to the Internet. Each CD-ROM Set will contain more than the equivalent of an Encyclopedia Britannica's worth of information. The project is projected to cost approximately $484,000. If God is leading you to help financially, or you know of someone who might be interested in helping, please contact us!

Dr. Allan Beeber, the director of LINC-Net, an internet ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ, Intl. was given this idea by the Lord in 1998. His heart was to create a simple yet powerful place where anyone wanting to obtain evangelistic resources could do so at one site, listing materials most search engines would rarely list at the top. It is designed to be a one-stop location on the Internet for evangelistic materials. It is a Kingdom Site meaning that any evangelcial organziation is invited to use it freely. The costs are born by LINC-Net.

No, we will only select the materials and languages which are most accessed by the users. While LINC-Net will take adequate precautions, any submitting group or person holds CCCI, LINC-Net, and all related parties harmless if other people break copyright laws or in any way misuse the materials obtained from the site.

First, read #7. While LINC-Net will take adequate precautions, any submitting group or person holds CCCI, LINC-Net and all related parties harmless if other people break copyright laws or in any way misuse the materials obtained from the site.

Yes, by registering you will be kept abreast of new materials via an e-mail broadcast once every few months. Only those organizations which can link to resources on their own sites which people can download or purchase off the Net should register as a contributing organization. However, a recent update allows new users to register as well as add their organization information at the same time. It's decreases some of the confusion that the previous system may have given. They will receive approval based on their organization information.

Yes, however our heart is to have you enable the user to print out such as a read a chapter, hear a portion of an entire song, or view a significant portion of a VHS tape or DVD. The Toolbox is not primarily intended to function as a sales site. Rather, it is a portal designed to provide just-in-time resources to people who currently need help sharing their faith.

It currently searches two fields which are the title of the resource and its description. Therefore, including a number of descriptive key words in the title and description will help improve the search engine's effectiveness. Later iterations of the search engine will actually serach on the first page of the resource link.

It is a Kingdom site where people who are sharing their faith in Christ can locate resources quickly, 'just-in-time'. It is a deep vertical portal composed of evangelistic materials from more than 65 partnering organizations and denominations.

No, you cannot just take text from another web site. If you are interested in using what you find on someone else's site, you must e-mail that site asking for permission to put their content into your site or into printed format. All content on websites is copyrighted (unless clearly stated otherwise), and permission from that site must be sought and received. However, it is generally permissable to offer a link to another site on your site, which would send your visitors directly to the other site's page (or open a new browser within you site) . [Note: it is always nice to go the extra step and ask permission.] But you should not duplicate or bring their content into your site without their permission

There are many ways. First, you can type a title of a resource or key words in the upper right Search Box and click the "Enter" key. Second, you can search by way of Categories, such as "Apolgetics" or "Hindus." Third, you can search for specific demographic groups, such as "military" or "teenagers." Forth, you can search for a particular format, such as "videos" or "mini CDs" to use in evangelsim. Fifth, if you are traveling to another country, you can search for resources that correspond to that specific country. Sixth, you can search for materials by a particular language. Seventh, you can search for resources applicable to the city you may be traveling to. Eighth, you can actually change the Interface language. In other words, if you want to see everything that the Toolbox offers in Russian, click the down arrow and use your cursor to click on "Russian". The Toolbox default language will then change to "Russian." Note: be sure to change the Language Interace language back when you have located the resources you desire!

If you have permission to submit banners, they must be 468 x 60 pixels in jpg format and no more than 40K bytes in size. Go to www.greatcom.org/links.htm to see some representative samples. A good model is the "Who Is Jesus ... Really?" site banner. Be sure to send the contact URL along with the jpg image.

First, you need to register as a new user. Be certain to fill in as much information as possible, and especially check to be sure your e-mail address is accurate. Your initial password can be changed once you enter into your personal records section. You will see that area at the bottom of the screen view. Click on Add Resources to add a new resource. Fill in every applcaible section. Remember that the search engine will be looking at both the title and the abstract. Hence, the better your key words, the greater chance people will find your document on that focused subject. Be sure to add the appropriate categories, but DO NOT check everything. Same with deomgraphic info. Try to be precise. Once you click the final button, it goes to the webmaster, who reviews and approves it most of the time, often within 24 hours

First, the image needs to be in a .jpg or a .gif format with a maximum size of 100x100 pixels.

Note: you are downloading this image (or PDF file) to our server, not simply sending us the 'address' where it may be located on your server or computer hard drive.

CCCI maintains the right to remove any resource, organization or individual from the Toolbox for whatever reason it feels necessary in keeping with the theological positions described in the Lausanne Covenant.
