DECISION AMERICA 2016, A Prayer from our brother Franklin !

Decision America Tour
 
 Dear Friend,

I concluded the Decision America Tour in Raleigh, NC, last week. We had over 14,200 people there at the State Capitol confessing their sins and praying for the nation. I am so thankful for the tens of thousands who came out across the country to pray as we went state to state.

We are just a few weeks away from the most important election in our lifetime: two flawed candidates with two completely different visions for America. I try to remind everyone that the most important issue of this election is the Supreme Court. It comes down to this: Which of the two candidates do you trust to nominate justices to serve lifetime terms on the Supreme Court?

I remind people that this election is not about Trump’s tax returns or vulgar language, or Hillary’s lies or deception. This election is about the Supreme Court. Whoever is appointed to the court will set the direction for our nation for generations to come. This will impact what kind of country we leave our children and our grandchildren. I am encouraging everyone to pray and to get your friends, your family, and your church to pray for this election and the future of America.

Thank you for participating in the Decision America Tour and for signing the pledge. I’m heading to Liberia this week, but I will be praying as I go to Africa, that God will heal our country.

Also, I would like to pray with you on the night before this most critical election. On November 7 at 9 p.m. (ET), will you join me on my Facebook page LIVE, so that we can stand together in prayer? Even if you aren’t on Facebook, you can still join as long as you click on this link. We need Christians across the country praying, so mark your calendar, set your reminder, and let others know to join us.

Sincerely,

Franklin Graham

Decision America Tour and Your Vote !


Greetings Brethren !

Just when I thought I had written my last DECISION 2016 post for our Billy Graham friends,
our Ministries brother Franklin has sent the following Tour Announcement and Reminder to
VOTE !!!


In fact !, how often do we consider how VERY BLESSED was are to live in a Nation where we can   VOTE
To my friends who would say, for instance, ... ' my vote won't matter ',...... I say,....'Poppycock'! my Friend. ( Can I say that word ? )   Merely by being known as a 'Christian' in Your Town who cares for ' Biblical Values ', and being SEEN going to that Voting Booth ~!   YOU are part of His light   Friends, this is simply  (part of), being that ' Beacon of Light ' we are to be to others. So Please, offer Our Father deep thanksgiving for the Blessing of living where we CAN vote. This is a blessing that millions of God's children around the world wish they had. 

Please enjoy this Franklin Graham message!
May God Bless You

Dear Friend,

We’re in the home stretch of the Decision America Tour, with only two prayer rallies to go. We’ll be in Richmond, Virginia, tomorrow, and then we'll wrap up the tour this Thursday in Raleigh, North Carolina.

In less than a month, we’ll have the responsibility—and God-given duty—to vote to elect the next president of the United States. Whoever wins will immediately appoint one Supreme Court justice and could appoint several more during his or her term. The direction of our nation hangs in the balance.

In addition to praying, it is critical that we make sure the Christian voice is heard loud and clear this Election Day. The following questions will help you plan now so that you’re prepared to vote on November 8:

• Are you registered to vote? (Find your local requirements at vote.org.)
• Where is your polling station? (Locate it at vote.org.)
• What time of day will you vote?
• Do you need to let your employer know when you’re voting?
• Do you have a way to get there?
• Do you have child care?
• Is there a friend or neighbor who needs a ride?
• What identification do you need? (Find out at vote.org.)

As you make your plan to vote, continue to research the candidates, platforms, and issues and then prayerfully ask God for wisdom. The candidates may not be perfect, but not voting is not an option.

Thank you for taking a stand for God’s truth and for the future of America.

May God richly bless you,


Franklin Graham

Football, Faith, and Fellowship !

Shalom Beloved !

Although this post is a bit tardy, ( due to wrapping up our Caravan for Christ and DECISION 2016 ),
Our 8th year of our Inter-Church, Fantasy Football Fellowship, ( Very appropriately named
Football, Faith, and Fellowship )  has officially begun ! ......... NO gambling, NO fee, NO worldly 'baggage', Just an agenda of Christian Fellowship among Inter-Church Football Fanatics!

Through the entirety of this Fellowship Initiative, many lasting Christ Centered Friendships and memories have been forged ( As You Can See Below, a pix. of our youngest Team Owner, Andrew, from First Christian Church of Kittery Point ).
Andrew by the way, has thus far demonstrated his 'Football Prowess' through week 4, and is in sole
possession of Second Place!, striking fear into the hearts of the leagues tenured team owners.


Here, Team Andrew is in diligent player evaluation
in the 'War Room' of this year's draft.



We are excited this year, to include interested Youth ministry students as you see above. We find this
to be endearing to the next generation. We very fervently Pray that by including our Children, we may impress on them the paramount importance of Christian Fellowship in a world that appears to willfully be falling away from The Word of God !
We Pray that that our Inter-Generational fellowship with our Children, will result in the Mind-Set
that
" It's Cool ! , to be a Christian "
We hope to be able to share some ' Tail-Gate Testimonies ', as our brother in Christ
(Art Ashley) from Advent Christian Church, is helping to arrange a group UNH Football game and Tailgate Party

Good luck to all team owners this year!, and if your Church would care to learn more about how this Fellowship vehicle has impacted Church Fellowship, please email or call !
God Bless You this day, and ever more!
