Literacy and Evangelism InternationalLiteracy and Evangelism International (LEI) is a missionary fellowship that desires to see the Church effectively reaching the illiterate (non-reading half of the world) in every nation, bringing them the Living Word, Jesus Christ, through enabling them to read the written Word of God. LEI assists churches and missions with materials and training for basic literacy by developing Bible-content basic readers (primers) in any language. We employ the best practices of linguistic methods in creating phonetically based basic readers, while integrating the life-changing story of Jesus Christ. LEI develops church leaders and missionaries in ministries of basic literacy, sending them to strategic locations around the world to nurture church-based literacy programs.

Presbyterian Action believes that the most powerful political message the church can deliver is simply the gospel of Jesus Christ, not any partisan agenda. Presbyterian Action speaks out at the General Assembly for the many Presbyterians who feel excluded by the dominant activist circles of the left.

Presbyterians For Faith, Family and MinistryPresbyterians for Faith, Family and Ministry (PFFM) provides resources and study materials that assist Presbyterians in clearly proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ as the only Lord and Savior. PFFM's bi-monthly publication, Theology Matters, includes articles that help Presbyterians examine issues facing the family, the church and the larger culture in light of Reformed faith derived from Scripture and expressed in the Confessions. PFFM is convinced that an obedient understanding of family and ministry can only grow out of faith in Jesus Christ that is based on Scripture and is free from compromise with false teachings. Rev. Sue Cyre, Executive Director P.O. Box 3940 Fredericksburg, VA 22408 Email:

Presbyterian ForumThe Presbyterian Forum is an organization made up of members of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) who are working for reformation through overt political action.
The word "Presbyterian" in our name is suggestive of our theological heritage, but more specifically, it references our form of government—our polity. We are a church that is named for the way in which we govern ourselves and make decisions—through an ascending set of deliberative judicatories or governing bodies to which we commission delegates or representatives who, in turn, debate issues and make choices by voting to ascertain the will of the majority.
It is our fervent hope that those who vote are guided by the leading of the Holy Spirit. But, in the end, the position that prevails is the one that can garner the support of the majority of the commissioners. The majority of Presbyterians in the PC(U.S.A.) believe in the historic Biblical standards and the confessions upon which the PC(U.S.A.) was founded and have made this known in its continuous rejection of actions by the General Assembly to undermine these principles. But the convictions of these majority Presbyterians are not often represented by the majority of GA commissioners selected by their presbyteries.
Therefore, we have committed ourselves to help individuals and groups within presbyteries to organize—within the rules set by our polity—to make sure that the GA commissioners that are chosen from their presbytery are qualified, and will make competent commissioners. We stand ready to assist Presbyterians in congregations and presbyteries.
The Presbyterian Forum is a tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) Corporation. Gabrielle Avedian, Executive Director 149 South Barrington Avenue, #317 Los Angeles, CA 90049 Email:

Presbyterians Pro-LifePresbyterians Pro-Life (PPL) is an independent, nonprofit corporation made up of members and pastors of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and is a voice for renewal in our denomination. While most other pro-life groups focus on legislation and the political debate, Presbyterians Pro-Life is different. Our focus is on the Church. We apply the truth of Scripture and the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to issues of life and sexuality, and call the Church to do that as well. Our hope is to see our Church so administer the means of God's grace that all God's people are warned away from sin, and that those who sin are led gently to repentance, have assurance of forgiveness, and are restored fully to fellowship with God and with the community of believers in the Church. We seek to be an active instrument of Godly change in our denomination by working through and influencing Church government. We call the church to a corporate commitment to the protection of innocent human beings all of them made in the image of God from conception to natural death. We assist congregations who want to offer alternatives to abortion to women facing crisis pregnancies. We publish materials and speak in the public forum of the Church.
