on Development (CCD) to serve the Honduran Theological Community (CTH).  Bruce is teaching

Globial Ministries introduces a new method of raising funds for ministry support.  GoodSearch.com is a new search 
engine that donates half its revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate.  You use it just as 
you would any search engine, and it's powered by Yahoo!, so you are still using a great search engine.  For more
information click here.
