Christianity was supposed to be about becoming like Jesus. |

| Why the "Pioneer" theme? | In the history of the United States, a pioneer
was often a person who left the "old world" for a home and a new
life in the "new world". This is supposed to be what happens
when a person becomes a Christian. The classic book "Pilgrim's
Progress" also describes a journey to escape entanglement with a world hostile
to Jesus so that we can arrive at our destination which is Christian
maturity and Christ-likeness.

| Hasn't the world already heard enough about Christianity? | 2,000 years ago Christianity quickly
spread to include Europe, North Africa, and the middle East. This happened
under very adverse circumstances. What had happened was that truth had
made a startling appearance on earth. The effects of truth on people lives
was most remarkable. Lazy and drunken men became loving husbands and
caring fathers. Bitter and shrewish women became loving wives and tender
mothers. Lives were transformed as people were changed by their connection
to truth. The power of Jesus was undeniable. People wanted this change for
themselves and their families even if it meant the confiscation of their
property or even death.
Over the years "experts" took over and what was still called Christianity became a managed system of religion. Even within this system, the truth could be found and lives transformed. However, as people began to walk further and further from truth, their lives were less and less transformed. Today the Biblical idea that churches should help their members grow into the full image of Christ is such an alien a concept that it is seldom even heard. Our purpose is to help point the way back to what Christianity first was. If any still seek truth or have become disillusioned with what churches and religion have become, we want to provide encouragement that the path is still there and the the truth can still be found.
