CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR PASTOR SAEED'S RELEASE, - 2/16 (latest at info@action.aclj.org)  ;"American Pastor Saeed (who just started an 8 year sentence for helping the underground churches in Iran) continues to undergo mental torment – fed lies by Iranian prison guards. He's been cut off from speaking to his wife and children, and when his Iranian family visited him, he questioned if anyone was still working for his freedom.  His wife,Naghmeh, shared, "When I heard this from my husband, I cried. It broke my heart. Behind those walls he feels helpless and relies on us to be his voice. . . . Please help me make sure he is never forgotten." Hundreds of thousands have spoken out and now 84 Members of Congress signed a bipartisan letter urging Secretary of State Kerry's direct action on Pastor Saeed's behalf. Keep the momentum going. Sign the petition and read these new updates on the work of the ACLJ. They need 90,000 more signatures in less than 20 days to present this petition to the U.N. Sign and share it with your friends today. If you have not already, please join over 270,000 (was recently130,000) who have SIGNed THE PETITION for Pastor Saeed's release and tell your friends about it.  http://aclj.org/iran/save-american-pastor-from-iranian-prison-sentence 

PLEASE PRAY: "Libya Arrests Suspected Christian Missionaries ," February 16, 2013"Four foreigners were arrested in Libya on suspicion of distributing books about Christianity and proselytizing, a Libyan police spokesman said on Saturday. Spreading Christianity is a crime in the predominantly Muslim North African county. The four were arrested in the eastern city of Benghazi on Tuesday and are under investigation for printing and distributing books that proselytize Christianity. Police said they found 45,000 books in their possession and that another 25,000 have already been distributed. The suspects are from South Africa, Egypt, South Korea, and one holds both Swedish and U.S. Nationality. The U.S. Embassy in Libya has declined comment.

As the Lord leads, PLEASE PRAY:

  • For the timely release of the arrested missionaries.
  • For all who share God’s loving salvation in Muslim countries.


DECLARE YOUR SUPPORT FOR TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE. Please SIGN THE PETITION BELOW to declare your support for the traditional definition of marriage and in support of an amicus brief to go to the Supreme Court as it considers the redefinition of marriage on March 26th. Their decision on whether to uphold the Definition of Marriage Act passed by Congress in 1996 could be as piviotal to marriage in America as Roe v. Wade was to the definition of the sancity of human life in America. MOST IMPORTANTLY, please keep the upcoming Supreme Court review of this case and their final decision in your PRAYERS.


REMINDER: Don't miss this week's broadacast of "Truth That Transforms" (in Central Florida,  Mon., 7 pm, ch. 52.2; also at www.truthinaction.org) It features a great message and a video about the intolerance of Christian views today .)

[AS I SEE IT - As you read the article below - containing information which our President should know of -  ask yourself how it is that he remains our most pro-abortion President EVER given that he is of the minority group that is suffering the most (read below) from the scourge of abortion in America. - Stan]

"Minority Families Suffer Most from the Prevalence of Abortion," Josh Shepherd, January http://blog.heritage.org/2013/01/24/family-fact-of-the-week-minority-families-suffer-most-from-the-prevalence-of-abortion/24,

January 22 marked the 40th sobering anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion-on-demand nationwide. Now, many Americans are looking closer at the trends surrounding the practice of abortion.

Today, half of all abortions are performed on minority women, according to the latest official figures published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

(article continues below chart)

Since the 1970s, the share of abortions performed on white women in America has decreased by 24 percent, while the share performed on African American women has increased by 34 percent. And while African Americans are 13 percent of the population, they account for over 42 percent of the abortions.

  • After 40 years of our nation devaluing life, our leaders in Washington should advocate policies that would allow each new life to flourish to its full potential.
