Devo'Zine - "devozine is a devotional magazine designed just for youth and is written by teenagers and by adults who work with and care about teens. The purpose of devozine is to encourage young people to develop a lifelong practice of spending time with God and of reflecting on what God is doing in their lives. Each issue of the bi-monthly, 80-page, full-color magazine focuses on nine weekly themes, which include weekday meditations, a weekend feature article, and a variety of ways to dig deeper into faith and practice.

As a companion to devozine, we publish with each issue the Guide for Mentors and Small Groups. The Guide includes easy-to-use session plans on each of the themes in devozine and helps youth leaders build on the practice of daily devotions by incorporating devozine into a variety of youth ministry settings.

The vision for devozine has always included a worldwide community of teens encouraging and challenging each other. Our website — www.devozine.org -- helps to fulfill this vision by giving you the opportunity to hear what other teens have to say about life and faith, as well as a chance to share your faith stories, your poetry, your prayers, your opinions, and your writing."

Group - "If your church does it, we’ve probably got it. It’s been said that tool companies don’t sell drills; they sell holes. The same goes for Group. We don’t just sell books, curriculum, training, Bibles, software, etc. We’re in the business of making you even better at what you do in ministry. We want you to feel joy and fulfillment as you connect people with Jesus.

That said, Group does offer a wide range of resources and services for just about every area of church ministry: children’s ministry, youth ministry, adult small groups, women’s ministry, pastoral ministry, and more."

The Society of St. Andrew - "The Society of St. Andrew is a national, Christian nonprofit, non-denominational ministry dedicated to gleaning America’s fields and feeding America’s hungry by saving fresh produce that otherwise would go to waste and distributing it to hunger-relief agencies across the nation. We provide healthy, nutritious produce to society’s most vulnerable through innovative, cost effective programs: the Potato Project, the Gleaning Network, and Harvest of Hope. We provide fresh food to the hungry for about 2 cents per serving! The Society of St. Andrew is unique among hunger relief organizations for many reasons. Here are just four things that set us apart:

1. We supply fresh fruits and vegetables vital for nutrition rather than high caloric 'filler food' to our society’s most vulnerable. That means we are helping to improve their health and well-being as well as giving them full stomachs.

1. Unlike many organizations, we don’t charge handling fees. We provide fresh, nutritious food to agencies serving the poor at no cost to them, which helps them stretch their already tight budgets.

1. We build community by bringing people together in farmers' fields or around 'dumped' loads of potatoes to work collectively in the cause of helping their needy neighbors.

1. We recognize the spiritual component of helping others and therefore offer a variety of education programs, Bible studies, and seasonal devotions designed to feed people's spiritual hungers as they help feed the physical hunger of others.

The Society of St. Andrew adheres to Christian principles of good stewardship. More than 90% of all funds raised are spent on the direct delivery of food to the hungry. And we operate across the nation!"
