Class Internet Links
You may find some of these links helpful in completing your homework or exploring different subjects. I have made every effort to check these sites, but I can make no guarantees about their content. If you find other sites that are helpful, please let me know. I will check them and add them to this page.
Thailand Sites ** These sites are open blogs and may contain information about ministry activities in Thailand. These sites are made available due to multiple student and teacher requests. Students and teachers should use these sites at their own discretion. Sites are set up so that religious information is in distinct, labeled categories. No information from these sites is required for my classes.
