(PBM) is a faith-based ministry of Loyal Webb and Dr. Ron Cook. This ministry has the objective of supplying sound doctrinal material through the WEB and has been doing so for the past 5 years. Presently the WEB Site (www.pbministries.org) has pages for (1)John Gill; (2) Arthur W. Pink; (3) William Cunningham (In-Work); (4) R. L. Dabney (In-Work); (5) The Baptist Page; (6) Baptist History; (7) Eschatology; (8) Articles Books & Pamphlets; (9) Edward Payson; (10) Thomas Brooks (Coming Soon); (11) Heretical Teachings; (12) Davis Huckabee; and (13) Newsletter (No Longer Printing). For the month of November, the WEB site averaged 33,441 individual hits per day with a total hits of 1,003,225 for the month. As a matter of history, PBM was the source of all of the material for the A. W. Pink CD now in publication by AGES software and contributed approximately 35% of the material from the John Gill CD published by AGES.

All material on the WEB site along with all the material supplied to AGES software was the exclusive work of Loyal and myself. This effort required the individual page by page scanning, formatting and editing of all the books and pamphlets presently on the site. Also it may be noted that PBM scans, formats, edits, and prepares material that Pastors are wanting to publish. Presently PBM is working with Davis Huckabee on a book to be published in late 2003 to early 2004 and have three additional works in various degrees of completion. It has also been brought to the attention of PBM that some of this material is being accessed by independent seminary classes around the world for class notes and texts. Future plans include starting a work of educational courses in conjunction with Landmark Baptist Theological Seminary by providing commentaries and study manuals that would be accessible through the site for correspondence students worldwide.

However, due to the large amounts of material completed (approximately 100,000 pages) PBM finds itself in the need to update their computer hardware and software. The present cost of maintaining the site along is approximately $150 per month which is being supported exclusively by Loyal and myself. As a minimum PBM needs the following:

In conclusion, PBM is in the need of $5,000 (Items 1-4) as a minimum or $6,000 (Items 1-5) to continue adding material to the WEB site and support ministers, pastors, students of the Word, and seminaries around the world. To date, all computer hardware and software has been purchased by us and at the present time has been updated as far as it can be taken. Therefore, it is with a prayerful heart that we ask for support in this most valuable ministry.

In Christ,

Ron Cook
