What Do I Gain By Joining?
Coming in the Fall of 2008, the IJM Institute will feature a robust Resource Library full of tools and materials contributed by IJM staff and Institute Associates. Upon launch, you will be given a password for accessing the resource library and will be encouraged to use the materials for leading others into seeking justice on behalf of the oppressed.
As an Associate, you will also have the ability to comment on the IJM Institute blog without awaiting moderation.
For the time being, we invite you simply to visit the Institute Blog daily and begin joining in this dynamic community.
Resource Reservoir
The IJM Institute Resource Reservoir is an ever-growing compilation of tools and ideas for action. Written by Institute Associates and IJM staff, the Resource Reservoir is offered to Christian leaders in an effort to partner in the global need and God-given command to seek justice.
Currently undergoing extensive reconstruction, the Resource Reservoir will be re-launched in the Fall of 2008.
For now, we invite you to use this sampling of our Top 10 Resource Reservoir Picks in your ministry environment. Let us know what you think!
