The BIN Secures Briles.org Domain

The Briles Information Network, AKA "The BIN", has secured the rights to the briles.org domain. Since 2006, or maybe before that, briles.org was home to the Briles Family Ministries. We have no idea what happened to the ministry and discovered the availability of the domain during a yearly inspection of links on the research page. The BIN has no immediate plans for the domain other than redirecting visitors to our main site here!
