3. Buchversand
YWAM bookshop Sells Christian books to a usually lower price. They ship worldwide. We highly recommend books from this online bookshop like "why not women". If you use this link to go to their website and order books, we get 10% of the price donated to our project. Not bad: You buy books, and our project gets support...

4. Open-Source Computersoftware:
Commercial computer programs like MS Office, Photoshop... are very expensive. Therefore it is common, that illegal copies are used. Even many Chrisitans use illegal copies. Somehow the Robin Hood mentality triggers in: "Those software giants have already too much money...". But it is clear and simple: Even when the programs are overpriced, copying them is stealing!!! The alternative is open source: programs that can be downloaded and copied for free, completly legal! The most famous programs are maybe Linux and Mozilla Firefox. But there are dozens of good quality and user friendly programs. We are mostly using open source programs and are very pleased with them. Here are our favourites:
mozilla firefox Webbrowser like Internet Explorer, but more stable
mozilla thunderbird Email program like Outlook
Open office The alternative to Microsoft Office. It is a great program and even has bonuses like a PDF creating button, that Microsoft doesn't have. Very easy to learn, when familiar with MS Office.
Kompozer This website was created with Kompozer!!
Filezilla Free FTP program to upload the website pages on the server.
AVG Free Antivirus program
Portableapps.com We encountered a typical problem, common to many: We only have internet connection at our workplace. But it would be very useful to download the emails at work, and then read and reply at home. The solution comes with portable apps. Most of the programs above are available as portable versions through this link. One can save them on a flash disk and open those programs at any computer, without installing them on the computer.That means, we have for example our email program with all emails always with us on the flash disk.
