National Conference Call Sept 25th for Nation

This message is from another ministry:

"It is critical that the church in America understands the times and what needs to be done now. The natural things speak of the invisible. Natural happenings on the earth are revealing something that is going on in the spiritual realm. There is a great spiritual conflict with a rising tide of Islamic boldness being manifested.

Our President has recently proclaimed, honored, and encouraged the Muslim holy days of prayer and fasting called Ramadan. He was very silent on the National Day of Prayer but very vocal on the support of Ramadan. Interestingly at the same time a major Christian leader of the Emergent Church called for forty days of fasting and prayer in the same Ramadan period with the goal that the church will better understand our Muslim friends. We are all for understanding but we must have spiritual discernment as to the spiritual dark powers that are being invoked into our nation.

At the same time, on the 25th of September, Muslims are calling for a Muslim Day of Prayer in Washington DC (http://www.islamoncapitolhill.com/). They are calling for 50,000 Muslims to gather and pray on the DC Mall.

This is the exact word of one of the Sheikhs who is leading this historic gathering, "Muslims should march on the White House. We are going to the White House so that Islam will be victorious, Allah willing, and the White House will become into a Muslim house." These are not empty words. They speak of a dark spiritual intent and a coming day of great trouble to America.

This convergence, I believe, is urgently summoning us in the midst of the rising tide of Islamic influence in America to recognize that our God is above every god and that if we return to Him with all of our hearts and call upon Him with fasting and prayer then God could use what the enemy meant for evil to bring about a great day of salvation for Muslims in America, of which Rifqa is but a major sign.

Therefore we are calling Christians all over America to join Lou Engle, Mrs. Shirley Dobson, Tony Perkins, and many other major leaders in America to a national conference call to pray for America. Please join us on Thursday, September 24th from 7:30PM to 9:00PM Eastern Time for possibly one of the greatest moments in American history."

Partners 335: How to Tell Real Census Workers in 2010 Census when they come to your door.

Some very good information below.

Short quick read.

This information is being distributed by the Dallas / Ft. Worth IBMer Organization to warn it's thousands of members of fraud associated with the 2010 Census (some pre-census activity is already underway). However, this warning is for ALL citizens so you may want to pass it on to everyone you know.


2010 Census Cautions
by Susan Johnson - August 3, 2009 12:07 pm

Be Cautious About Giving Info to Census Workers
With the U.S. Census process beginning, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) advises people to be cooperative, but cautious, so as not to become a victim of fraud or identity theft. The first phase of the 2010 U.S. Census is under way as workers have begun verifying the addresses of households across the country. Eventually, more than 140,000 U.S. Census workers will count every person in the United States and will gather information about every person living at each address including name, age, gender, race, and other relevant data. The big question is - how do you tell the difference between a U.S. Census worker and a con artist? BBB offers the following advice:

** If a U.S. Census worker knocks on your door, they will have:

1. A badge

2. A handheld device

3. A Census Bureau canvas bag

4. A confidentiality notice

Be sure and ask to see:

1. Their identification and

2. Their badge before answering their questions.

NEVER invite anyone you don't know into your home.

** Census workers are currently only knocking on doors to verify address information. Do not give your Social Security number, credit card or banking information to anyone, even if they claim they need it for the U.S. Census.

While the Census Bureau might ask for basic financial information, such as a salary range, it will not ask for Social Security, bank account, or credit card numbers nor will employees solicit donations.

Eventually, Census workers may contact you by telephone, mail, or in person at home. However, they will not contact you by Email, so be on the lookout for Email scams impersonating the Census.

Never click on a link or open any attachments in an Email that are supposedly from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Proven Hope Focused Program of Couples Counseling offered Free to couples from Regent University

Proven Hope Focused Program of Couples Counseling offered Free to couples from Regent University

The Hope Focused program of couples counseling is now open for new couples to participate. www.mmatecenter.com

Who is this for? Couples are welcome to join who are struggling with everyday problems or more difficult problems as well. It is a short term (8-12 weeks) counseling program so those with severe or specific issues requiring more time and attention (infidelity, violence, untreated substance abuse) will be referred for longer term treatment outside of the study.

What is the Hope Project? The Hope project is an outreach and research project supported by Regent University therefore we are able to offer this program at No cost for couples in the community. It is a brief hope-focused approach focusing on increasing the positives in the relationship. It includes personalized assessment and feedback, communication skills, conflict resolution skills, exploring the influence of the past, apologies, forgiveness and other tailored interventions. It is completely private within our clinic.

What has research on the Hope Project shown? The research on the Hope approach has shown for over 10 years that this approach works well with couples. It increases satisfaction, commitment, positive communication skills, closeness and forgiving significantly after treatment and in follow-up data as well. The local Hope project has been going on for 3 years now with strong data support

Is it a religious program? It can be. The project follows ethical guidelines for all therapists where we tailor the approach to the couple. There is a Christian version of the Hope approach that can be used including scripture reference, prayer and discussion of spiritual growth if both members of the couple would prefer that approach. There is also the standard approach which does not include spiritual things but supports the good goal of a healthy relationship.

How should I communicate this to my congregation/friends/colleagues? You can send the information above through an email which is easiest, or we can send you flyers and further information about the approach as needed. You are welcome to sign up yourself to “check it out” and see if it’s something that would be helpful to couples. For any questions about the project please call our project office at 757-352-4896 or call me (Dr. Ripley) directly at 757-352-4296.
