REGISTER TO VOTE  |  PRAYER  |  CONTRIBUTE

voteGod has established governments as ministries to provide order in the
nations so that we are able to share the good news of Jesus Christ with the
world to further the Great Commission.  He is sovereign over the nations and
removes leaders and establishes leaders as He wishes.  In our country He has
given us the privilege to vote for candidates from which our leaders are
elected.  As citizens of heaven and of this country we are to pray and to
vote wisely.

On May 1, 2008 we had a meeting with Dr. Rick Scarborough, President of
Vision America, with a goal of enlisting 1,000 pastors and priests in New Mexico to have non-partisan voter registration drives at their churches and encourage their members to vote in the 2008 elections.  Vision NM has been set up to assist with election information in NM.  The voter registration deadline for the general election is Oct 7 (NM SOS Voter Registration Information).

You can help us with these non-partisan voter registration drives by emailing me the names of pastors and priests in New Mexico and their churches along with their mailing addresses, phone numbers and email
addresses and letting me know if you would be willing to volunteer to be trained as a voter registrar for your church.

From the ADF letter for pastors and priests:
        "In addition to information on Elane, good information for yours and Mr. Scarborough’s efforts to recruit Pastors is in the attached letter. This letter, specifically authored for Pastors in January 2008, provides them with concrete legal advice that they do have a political voice, and can speak out without fear.  Moreover, our advice comes with a promise—'If you are contacted by any government official or private activist group on such issues, please call us immediately. The Alliance Defense Fund’s attorneys will promptly review your situation and make every effort to defend your church’s legal rights to speak freely in support of important social and moral issues.' "

Thank you,

Remember the Fourth

Celebrate Independence Day - safely and in memory of our founding principles. 

On July 2, 1776, Congress voted to approve a complete separation from Great Britain. Two days afterwards – July 4th – the early draft of the Declaration of Independence was signed, albeit by only two individuals at that time: John Hancock, President of Congress, and Charles Thompson, Secretary of Congress. Four days later, on July 8, members of Congress took that document and read it aloud from the steps of Independence Hall, proclaiming it to the city of Philadelphia, after which the Liberty Bell was rung. The inscription around the top of that bell, Leviticus 25:10, was most appropriate for the occasion: “Proclaim liberty throughout the land and to all the inhabitants thereof.”
