ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT: During WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace. This had an amazing effect as bombing stopped. There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America. If you would like to participate: each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the up-coming election, the war in Iraq, safety of our troops and for the revival of Christianity in this great country.
SONRISE is still accepting applications for our summer camping programs. This year's theme is "Transformed," and is based on Romans 12:1.
