The following is the information file about the "Messianic
Jewish Computer Network" from their Denver BBS.

I've marked the most interesting sections with "*" and
reformatted the paragraphs, but the file is complete.

| 
| Just thought i would let everyone know about the MJCN echos and that
| they are available from the Network backbone with the exception of the
| sysop echo (MJCN)...
| 
* Thanks for asking.  The MJCN net was established 4 years ago as a means
* of expressing Biblical Judaism (Evangelical Christianity), in its
* original setting within the Jewish Culture.
| 
| In 1963, with the leading of the Lord i established one of the first
| Messianic Jewish Congregations in the 20th century.  Prior to that
* time, we had a few Hebrew Christian Churches, which for all practical
* purposes were Christian churches with Jewish memberships.  The
| Messianic Jewish movement gained speed in 1967, with an influx of Jews
| being saved and brought into the kingdom of God.  By 1973 there were 20
| Messianic Jewish Congregations. Today there are well over 150 in the
| United States, with over 30 in Israel, and some in South America,
| United Kingdom, France, Australia etc... Today it is estimated that
* over 10% of World Jewry are born again Messianic Jewish Believers. MJCN
* was established to provide this info to the Evangelical community as
* well as opening communications between the congregations, Messianic
* Jews and the Evangelical community at large.
| 
* The following echos are available to any Christian bbs or any secular
* bbs that is run by a Christian.  All MJCN echos are currently hooked up
* directly to Israel, Canada, and the United Kingdom.  We are looking for
* hookups to South Africa, and Amsterdam Holland, and other cities that
* have measurable Jewish Communities.
| 
| 1) Shalom (international echo), General Chit Chat, Christology of Jewish
| Holidays, roots of the Christian faith etc..
| 
| 2) World (International echo).  World news as it pertains to the nation of
| Israel and the World, Prophecy etc..
| 
| 3) Lifeware (International echo). Jewish and Christian testimonies of life
| changing experiences

| 4) Theo_logical Forum (International echo), Discussions of Theological
| differences and agreements, ie virgin birth, diety of Messiah,
| Authority of Scriptures, by which we affirm...
| 
| 5) MJCN (Sysop only echo for those who become MJCN nodes..
| 
| The following while not being MJCN echos are run by MJCN..
| 
| 1.  Cult_watch, An echo dedicated to exposing the cults, and witnessing
| to those involved in the cults...
| 
| 2.) CJ_Debat, a debate between Christians and non believing Jews, a
| must for any bbs that really desires to share with the Jewish People...
| 
| These all originate out of St Louis, Mo.  USA, from my BBS.  AS the
| President of MJCN, i welcome all who would participate in Shalom.
| 
* I am an ordained Assemblies of God minister, under their mission board
* since 1966, and the founder and Rabbi of Cong. Beth Tikvah, a Messianic
