	Back to God Ministries International (formerly The Back to God Hour) is a media ministry of the Christian Reformed Church. Through radio, TV, the internet, computer-generated telephone, and printed materials, the gospel is being preached in nine major languages throughout the world - even in "closed" countries where missionaries are not welcome and preaching Jesus Christ is a criminal offense.
	Calvin College is the main (though not only) college of the Christian Reformed Church. It has an international reputation for academic excellence and Christian commitment. One major college guide said Calvin was, along with Wheaton College of Illinois, "one of the country's top two evangelical colleges." Because of this, only half of Calvin's students are from in-state and less than half of Calvin's students are from the CRC.
	Calvin Theological Seminary is the official seminary of the Christian Reformed Church where people are trained to do ministry as pastors, teachers, church planters, foreign missionaries, and professors. The seminary has an excellent international reputation and has a high percentage of international students from Canada, Korea, Japan, and many other countries.
	Christian Reformed Home Missions does missions and evangelism work in North America by training pastors and leaders of existing churches, planting new churches, supporting college campus ministries, and helping churches reach out and do evangelism in their own neighborhoods.
	Christian Reformed World Missions does missions and evangelism work around the world by encouraging churches to get involved with spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ in the world. People are placed in various countries to train local church leaders, help plant churches, and revitalize existing churches. North American churches are encouraged to support these efforts and are sent word of God's work.
	Christian Reformed World Relief (CRWRC) provides relief and development work all around the world wherever there are disasters or lack of resources, seeking to assist those suffering from poverty, hunger, and injustice. Churches are informed about such needs around the world and provided with opportunities to give, serve, and otherwise assist in relief efforts.
	Faith Alive Christian Resources is a joint publishing house co-sponsored with the Reformed Church in America to provide materials for churches to use in their ministries. On the website you can find sunday school materials, Bible study guides, song books, leadership training resources, and a variety of other materials to educate and train people in their walk with the Lord.
