Church Website Ministry:
I was contacted by Missionary Jeremy Bingham to set up a website for their ministry Hometeamsmissions. Brother Jeremy and his family are a “Missionaries in Support of Fundamental Baptist Mission Works.” Brother Bingham already had a domain, hometeamsmissions.org. He wanted to set up a website to link to support sites for missionaries. After we talked a while, they decided to try “Link Up Gold” (which is the platform baptist-ministries.org is running on). After trying Link Up Gold for a while Brother Jeremy decided he wanted to try WordPress. I set up WordPress for hometeamsmissions. It is an honor to support Brother Bingham as he provides support to other missionaries.
