Back to School Prayer Rally August 25

\.

Can you believer it! Before we know it, it will be time for our students to enter and re-enter the world of academia.

As Christian servants, it is our duty to make our supplications and petitions known unto God through His Son, Jesus Christ.

This letter represents a formal request of each of you to pray for a safe and prosperous 2007-2008 school year. Pray that this school year will benefit youths as well as adults and all those who will be involved in the formal educational settings soon to come all for the glory of God our Father who is in Heaven

Therefore, we implore you to set a portion of your prayer time aside and pray specifically for God's intercession at the prayer rally, August 25th at BTNW at 4:00PM. Please pray that all in attendance will put on the whole armor of God so that they may stand against the wiles of the devil in all aspects of their lives, including school. Pray for the students, pray for the teachers, pray for the administrators, pray for the cooks, and the janitors, the nurses and the volunteers, the special guests, the boards of education and all government officials involved with the schooling of our students.. Pray for the parents and families of all students who will be attending school this year. Pray that needs be met. Pray that those in authority will seek godly counsel and guidance Pray that those who are not in authority to submit to directives given.

As you seriously pray for others, watch and see how God blesses you.

This is an all call message. Everyone who receives this note is encouraged to pray for a safe and successful school year. Remember Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope for a successful school year. Be patient should tribulations occur, and always be instant in prayer for our students especially between July 25th and August 25, 2007.

In Christian love,
Ann Evans, Secretary, Community Prayer Circle, CP

Shaken Internet Radio Channels Face Specter of New Fees Sunday

Shaken Internet Radio Channels Face Specter of New Fees Sunday

Please, "pray the news"

.. CLICK HERE

Sunday will be a day of reckoning for Internet radio stations.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has refused to stop an increase in royalty and broadcasting fees, jeopardizing the future of some stations. As a result of the decision, handed down Wednesday, fee hikes will take effect in another two days.

The Copyright Royalty Board, which is part of the Library of Congress, decided in March to almost triple current royalty rates by 2010 and impose an annual 0 fee per station or channel. The decision was urged by SoundExchange, an organization created by the recording industry.

In recent months, some smaller Web stations shut down in anticipation of the higher fees. More say they will close as a result of the court decision.

Web radio stations and their listeners have been lobbying Congress to pass legislation that would void the Copyright Royalty Board's decision and use a system that would assess royalties based on a station's revenue. But there has not been any legislative action on the proposal. READ MORE•

5,000 Prayer Coloring Books

Dear Phil:

Our very small group of Christian Day Care Providers has recently received a matching funds grant to distribute 20,000 Lord's Prayer Coloring books to inner city Chicago. 5,000 books will be distributed through the Salvation Army, an uncertain number through moody Bible Institute. All this in October 2007 just in time for including the books in any Christmas sharing programs. Ministries or church's willing/able to help distribute the balance of the books should contact Charles white (word@homewordnow.com). We are asking churches who are able to help us cover POSTAGE with a gift of $5. for each 100 books but for the books themselves there is no charge, we just need help in getting them to those in greatest need.

We are even offering two $100 prizes to children who tell us: "What I learned from making a prayer jar and sticking with my prayers." There may not be enough coloring books to go around as we must distribute in lots of 100 books but ANYONE may enter the contest by visiting www.teachustopray.com and clicking on "CONTEST" at the top of the page.

By the Grace of God we HOPE to repeat the project in Houston in March of 2008. We have a matching funds grant for Houston and would very much appreciate people praying that God would help us find the $4,400 needed to match this second grant IN TIME to plan the second give away. The next two cities on our list are Atlanta and Los Angeles. And then may the God of all hope help us find our way to the largest 100 cities in the nation. We are a small group with a big dream but so far God has been good to give us the help we need for a running start at this.

We are calling our giveaway "Project Pray". Hope you might help us find churches and ministries interested in distributing books. Our email is word@homewordnow.com

In His Service and Yours,

J. Charles White, Project Pray

Christian Dance @ Karitos

Karitos is heaven on earth for the Christian Artists. Yours truly will be teaching once again this year. I'm a featured instructor in the Drama section. I'm teaching Introduction to Theatre, Character Development, and Stand-Up Comedy. Don't miss it. If you can't make it, be sure to pass it along. I look forward to seeing you there. God bless you and guide you.

Yours in Service,

Allen D. Edge

DANCERS HAVE A FEAST IN STORE AT KARITOS

The 13th Annual Karitos Christian Arts Conference is set for Aug. 1-4 at Living Waters Community Church in Bolingbrook, IL. While the conference covers all areas of the arts, dance continues to draw the most people. Way of Life Ministries from Miami, perhaps the most exciting performing arts ministry in the country, will be teaching and will also be the featured artists on Friday night. If you've seen Cirque du Soleil, you will have an idea of Way of Life's ministry. Trained in ballet and acrobatics, they call what they do AcroDramance, a combination of acrobatics, drama and dance. You can get a taste of their ministry by going to www.karitos.com and linking to their website.

The dance faculty also includes Dr. Pamela Hardy of Columbus, OH, Maura Hoagland of Louisville, KY, Linda Wade and Alyse Roeder of Milwaukee's Dance Eternal, Pastor Karen Williams of Chicago and Pastor Cory Ratliff of Waukegan, IL. In addition to dance, Karitos offers workshops in eight other tracks, drama, music, worship, visual arts, vocal, literary arts, film and audio/visual technology. A complete workshop schedule can be found the website and additional information can be obtained by calling 847/749-1284.

The conference kicks off on Thrusday evening with a colorful processional. A number of people arrive earlier in the day to put it together. Powerful worship and exciting performances by members of the faculty are featured on Thursday and Friday evenings. Saturday night's closing celebration which they refer to as a "Commissioning Service" begins with another exciting processional that attendees have prepared on Saturday afternoon. Dancers are encouraged to bring dance costumes although they are not required to participate in the processional. The evening features an extended time of worship (always a highlight for those who love the freedom to dance) which leads into a time of personal ministry and prayer.
