341.0. "Christian Date-A-Base Now Available to Singles" by MRKTNG::WEBER (Nancy Weber @MKO) Wed Dec 08 1993 15:50

    I recently attended the Mobilized to Serve singles conference in
    Washington DC. At it were 2 gentlemen who have created a Christian
    Date-A-Base. The purpose of the database is "the bringing together
    Christians that are looking for fellowship, companionship, or a
    permanent martial relationship -- all based on the perfect word of God,
    The Bible." I really liked what they were doing so I picked up their
    literature and the forms.
    
    What makes this database different are several points:
    
    1) It arose out prayer and fasting to God asking him out he could 
       help his daughter meet appropriate people
    
    2) It's not just for the purpose of dating/marriage, but of helping
       people connect with similar interest. An example he gave was of an
       older man who was looking for fishing buddies.
    
    3) It requires a reference from your pastor who attests your beliefs 
       and character, while at the same time show the pastor that your 
       have needs for which he might not have know. 
    
    4) Costs are fairly low to participate. $10 to register, $10 to query
       the database 3 times.
    
    
    The database is located in PA and, until the conference, was mostly
    poplulated with people from PA, MD, DE. But as a result of the
    conference there are a potential of 1000 more names from all over North
    America. In addition, when the population count reaches a certain
    level (I think 3500 but can't quite recall) Focus On The Family has
    agreed to have him on as a guest.
    
    So if you're interested in having me send you the blurb on the database
    and the necessary forms send me mail with your name and mailstop.

Hi Nancy,

That's a typo which often strikes me as singularly [in]appropriate.... ;-}

�    Christians that are looking for fellowship, companionship, or a
�    permanent martial relationship -- all based on the perfect word of God,
               ^^^^^^^
It might often work out that way, but it's not what's meant ideally.
- I guess it's because the 'i' has moved out to become a capital one in the
relatIonship...

-  not meaning to detract from the actual value of .0, though!
