churches in SL, MC, ST, and RR were notified with promotional materials
for six weeks before the event that occurs every year on the same
day. Many churches in SL and MC have thousands of members, many
hundreds of members. For six weeks the weekly publications - Herald,
Sun, Star, and FB Independent and monthly publications were asked to
press release the information. Radio and TV were contacted. SL churches
were called and invited. Any further ideas would be appreciated.
My
prayer is not for numbers. I’m afraid to pray for numbers because what
would it take? The tragedy in Boston, Sandy Hook, our losses in
Afghanistan highest month ever in the engagement, a ghastly abortion
clinic horrors exposed and the defense claims the abortionist was within
the law, FDA approved the morning after pill for over the counter
purchase for 15 year olds, homosexuality promotion being congratulated
by our president, the Supreme Court considering ending traditional
marriage, government lying to cover up failures and hidden agendas,
military chaplains gag ordered in their ministry, military personnel to
be punished for mentioning their faith, our military being used as a
social experiment destined to fail and to destroy many lives, worldly
churches, failing families, corrupt businesses, our children and
grandchildren being taken captive by a perverted culture, and we can’t
come together and pray. What would it take to come together and pray?
