Reaching Missing Voices
Dear Prayer Warriors,
“104 million people of faith are unlikely to vote in this upcoming election” is the headline from a new national survey led by Dr. George Barna. This comes as a large number of Christians are distancing themselves from the election, including pastors refraining from speaking on key biblical issues.
We are amazed with disbelief that so many followers of Christ might abstain from casting a vote. While we can all see the dire position of our nation, we must not give up hope, for we have the highest calling to reach this world for Christ. This includes being engaged in the spiritual battle for our nation and engaging in shaping our nation to reflect godly values and beliefs.
“For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.” 1 Corinthians 12:12
With just days remaining, we still have a GREAT opportunity to encourage millions of God-fearing Americans to vote. With the urgency before us, a small group of friends have stepped up to invest and help us push our message to those who can yet vote. They have promised to match every contribution now though midnight October 25th, up to a total of $50,000. This will allow us to come together—starting on October 27th—for 10 days of prayer through election day. Together, America will be praying continuously to place a prayer covering over every election center, every U.S. citizen, and every ballot. We will continue until the last vote is counted! Will you join us?
YES! I want to help with the costs for greater impact to reach a praying America.
YES! You can count on me to pray leading up to the election.
From myself, our staff, writers, volunteers, and board, thank you so much for your continued faithfulness and support in our important mission.
Beside you in prayer,
Jim Bolthouse
President
