Rejesus.co.uk, a leading home on the internet for all things about Jesus and related faith issues, announced Wednesday that Church Army is to become a major strategic and managerial partner in the future development of the site.

Rob Freeman, Archdeacon of Halifax and Chair of the rejesus board, said, " I am delighted with this news. Rejesus.co.uk was established to enable people who are not connected with church to be able to explore issues around who Jesus is and how he impacts on issues of life and spirituality.

"The partnership with Church Army will help bring fresh impetus and additional resources to the development of the site and help build on our success in establishing rejesus.co.uk as the number one place on the web to go to find out about Jesus."

Rejesus.co.uk is one of the most successful current UK evangelism initiatives. It attracts hundreds of thousands of people to the site each year, many of whom are not in contact with church and are exploring issues of faith and spirituality.

Recent modules launched by rejesus include specially produced content for the BBC's The Passion series and for the movie Evan Almighty, a Jesus on-line pub quiz and guidance on prayer.

Church Army's Chief Executive Mark Russell adds, " Rejesus is a fantastically creative and entertaining resource for those who want to discover more about Jesus and the Christian faith.

"Our passion at Church Army is to do all we can to make Jesus more well known and we are excited at the prospect of working with the creative team at rejesus to do just that and help make this great resource even better.

"We want everyone to be talking about it and all the churches to help support what we do and join us in helping to make Jesus famous."
