Since September 2001, *cino has been equipping people to be faithful servants of the Lord and one another through its online interactive magazine, recently christened catapult. catapult has offered articles, ideas, opinions, meditations, reviews, discussion, and debate on a host of topics ranging from Christmas shopping to race relations, all the while affirming the vision of Jesus Christ's rule over all of life.

The aim of the magazine is to inspire thought and discussion on how to practically live out the Christian faith in all areas of life, to look beyond the surface of things and discover new truths. Featuring articles, bible studies, and artwork provided by a variety of writers, artists, and other contributors, catapult really belongs to the readers. Around 9,000 visitors check out the web zine every month, and 150 registered members participate in lively exchange on the discussion board on a daily basis.

See, with this magazine, you not only read—you contribute! Like something you read or see? Disagree? Have ideas and thoughts on any aspect of culture? Let's discuss. Whether you've been a member for months or are new to the site, we invite you to join the community as we unite, learn, and serve together. It's our hope that catapult will inspire relationships, connections, new ways of thinking, hopefulness, and action.
