Greetings To All Saints and Social Activist,
Once Again the Walk in San Francisco for life exceeded the previous years in attendance! EvaMuntean and Dolores Meachan have watched an idea blossom and grow to be the number two pro-life event in the world. Wow!, I remember the first when the opposition vowed we would not march and it seemed as if there were as many of them as us. Since then their numbers have diminished andSan Francisco Walk For Life has exponentially grown.
Walter Hoye along with his wife Laurie the day before led the saints through the streets of Oakland in their 7th annual walk for life. The walk for life was followed up with the Issues for Life Conference.Pastor Bruce Rivers of Los Banos, California - Senior Pastor of Greater Exodus Baptist Church, Western Mission, reminded us all of the importance of the men to share their pain about their loss and personal message on abortion. While speaking, two men came out of the crowd to the altar for prayer.
The trip to California is never complete till we worship with Progressive Missionary Baptist Church of Berkeley California where Rev Dr. Earl Stuckey is the Pastor. Walter and Lori joined us for the worship experience. The hospitality was grand and as usual a great time of worship and fellowship.
Green Castle Penn was the site of our Youth Retreat. Jo-El retreat center provides the seclusion and thus ability to spend time with the Lord and the data. All data proves that the 18-25 age groups are increasingly pro-life. Education and demonstration is critical in mentoring this up and coming generation of youth. These are those who will go into the public square and proclaim the message of life and demand the rights of those whose rights have been denied.
Clergy are crucial in shifting the culture and education and information are the primary tools to assist them in their own individual assignments. Our belief is if informed and challenged they will find their role in the pro-life movement. I attended an effort that is being made by New York Loves Life to reach the churches to adopt a pregnancy center and support it holistically. This is refreshing and I look to assist Paul Horrocks in this endeavor.
April will prove to be a very busy month. I will be at the Columbus Baptist Church in Columbus, NJfor two services in the morning. This believe it or not is new territory due to the fact I rarely get called to go to south jersey. My wife and I will be attending and after the morning sermons we will be offering materials to the congregation. April 10th and 11th we will be ministering and manning a booth at the Joseph Mattera "Seismic Shift" conference. Once again though its Elizabeth its a new crowd and we hope to stay connected to this world ministry. The conference has made a conscious decision to make abortion more of a priority. Concerts of Prayer is led by Apostle Joseph Mattera who’s been a source of spiritual renewal and edification for years.
I presently hold the office of President of Metro Clergy For Better Choices. Meter Clergy For Better Choices is a information network for Pastors and Social Activist in the New York metropolitan area. We will be holding our spring complimentary luncheon at the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark New Jersey on April 23 at 11:00AM.
