Hope Women’s Centers[1. This is the link to the “client site.” The “donor site” is at http://friendsofhope.com] of Broward County again hosted one of the largest such pro-life fund raising functions in the nation. Over a thousand people packed the Signature Grand, in Davie. It always strikes me as odd that over a thousand people gathering to raise funds[2. In the worst recession in years, when charities of all sorts are hurting for funds] merits exactly zero mention from the mainstream media. Yet three guys with some signs can usually manage to get mention on the six o’clock news for some other cause. Scott Klusendorf was our keynote speaker. Mr. Klusendorf is the author of several important books, most recently “The Case for Life : Equipping Christians to Engage the Culture.” He reviewed many of the pro-life arguments as our country faces an increasingly hostile political environment.

As is customary at HOPE banquets, some of the people whose lives have been rescued appeared on stage as well. This included men and women who had made the important decision for life; and some of the babies and young children, whose lives were created by God, and delivered with the prayers and counseling of Hope Women’s Centers.

The discussion notes for breakfast on April 24, 2010 (”The Incredible Reward of Holiness”) are now online. This week we’ll look at how our role of father to our children parallels God’s role as our Heavenly Father. Study verses: 1 Peter 1:6.

The 59th Annual National Day of Prayer will take place Thursday, May 6, 2010. Millions will unite in prayer at thousands of events from coast to coast. The theme for this year is “Prayer for Such a Time as This” and is based on the verse from Nahum 1:7 which states:

The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him.

In southwest Broward County we will meet for breakfast and prayer at the Signature Grand, in Davie. Speakers and prayer leaders include Dr. Bob Barnes, Tom Truex, Pastor Pete Tokar, Pastor Keith Spencer, Pastor Darrell Stuehrenberg, Jim Kleinrichert, and others.[1. See PDF Brochure]
