Young Christian Leaders' Alliance

The YCLA is happy to announce that our long-awaited Handbook is now available for distribution on compact disc. The disc contains the full edition of the BEAMS Handbook in PDF format. It also features printable sheets with all the required Scriptures for memorization, the BEAMS info sheet, and several other resources such as a download of the shareware Bible study program SwordSearcher.

Several months ago, we made the decision to forgo the option of paper publication for the time being. Instead, God gave us the idea of placing BEAMS on CD-ROM. More than a simple book, the Handbook will be a part of an interactive system.  Throughout the document, active links will be posted which will connect to other valuable information online. As a PDF, it will be completely searchable, and the Table of Contents will link directly to each page listed. Even better, such an arrangement allows us to include audio and video files which will no doubt play an even greater role in future CD editions.

Another important feature of the CDs will be a link to the login page of the YCLA site, www.YCLAlliance.org. By clicking on a picture of a golden telescope which also appears on the book’s front cover, users will be able to immediately connect to the YCLA online members’ features to post blogs and discuss issues on the forums, and to browse the archives of past newsletters.  If they are not yet members online, they will be able to join through this same link.

The Handbook ranks and material remains the same: a guiding set of achievements which build leadership, teamwork, and trust in God. The Handbook promotes courage by proclaiming God’s power to conquer every possible enemy.

Please pray for and join us in distributing this CD to churches, groups, and individual youth as we seek to train them in Biblical impact strategies.  Also, please consider ordering a BEAMS CD. The CD is $10.00 for members, and $12.00 plus shipping for non-members. You may order one or more at www.youngchristianleaders.org/contactus.aspx. The Handbook, with writing and compilation work spanning close to two years of YCLA effort, will undoubtedly prove to be an important resource in your arsenal of leadership skill for the Bible and its ageless principles.
