America Take Five to Pray

Michele Vento a member of our church here at Blairsville, Pa. has written a powerful book called America Take Five to Pray. It is a daily challenge to come together in prayer for our nation with powerful prayer points to pray for.

Michele is available to come to churches, ladies groups etc. to not only challenge folks to pray but to help them to make prayer a priority in their lives.

Call First Assembly of God Blairsville (724-459-6797) to invite her to come. Her book is available now also from the internet and as she comes to speak she will make it available to everyone. It is a daily prayer guide. See the web page at America Take Five to Pray

The following is from an e-mail that was sent from a pastor and was sent to many people on her E-Mail list.

Greetings to all of you from Pastor Susan Hans,

Our lives all take interesting journeys......some near, some far........ beginning in July 2007 to the present my journeys have led me up and down the East Coast from Maine to Miami. In the spring of this year I spent three weeks in Fairfield, NJ just outside New York City, then three weeks in central and eastern Idaho including Boise. Afterward a week in the Chesapeake Bay area of MD, NJ, PA and then back to the OH Valley. Currently, I am in Anchorage, Alaska for three to four weeks after which I will be in Houston, TX for several weeks. All I can say is America is truly beautiful!

My eyes have been blessed to see so many awesome and glorious sites everywhere I have been. Wonders of nature, diversities of people, ingenuity and technology of man soaring in cities, abounding in farmlands, preserving historical sites, discovering new ways to preserve, renew, and cure our physical, environmental and economic/social problems, the list goes on. I have observed tremendous efforts that are initiated in communities, through organizations, churches, specialized programs and businesses to aid in the continuous battles of human suffering and hopefully bring some relief.

Human suffering is the focus of much of our attention. Humans suffer .... if a list were established to record all human suffering I imagine there wouldn't be enough paper or ink in the world to complete it. Could it really be completed even if there were? So many initiatives have been launched in the name of human suffering it is hard to know which to support as there are so many worthy causes.

I have sent you this extraordinary email because you are a Believer on the Lord Jesus Christ, a Christian, one who follows Jesus. THERE IS AN INITIATIVE that every Believer, and I mean every Believer, needs to exercise right now
in our daily lives. In a world that is full of initiatives focusing on human suffering, there is one initiative that stands out above all................it is the initiative that Jesus Christ gave to His Church.......the Church is the Body of Believers on the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who have been washed in His blood, sanctified by His Word, and set apart by His Spirit. If this is YOU, and I believe it is, here is what I ask you to do........

1. Go to this Web site: Americatake5.com
2. Read the Initiative for believers
3. Listen the the 15 minute video
4. Join the Initiative
5. Send this email to every Christian on your email list
