Forwarded Email from Mom, Dad, and others before them

I just got this one forwarded from my mother, I think, maybe my father. Not so important because one had to give it to the other first. My siblings and I are included in the next batch of recipients. This is message is similar to most that I receive from them. My father Mike is a catholic submarine veteran like his father, John (RIP) was before him. My mother Tracy, was not raised catholic, but always attended mass when my father would take us. She would not take communion though.



86% will send this on..



Subject: BET YOU'LL SEND IT!!


I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG,

OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ,

AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS,

ONE NATION UNDER GOD,

INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!


I was asked to send on if I agree, or delete if I don't.
It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God.

Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having 'In God! We Trust' on our money
and having 'God' in the Pledge of Allegiance.

I believe it's time we stand up for what we be lieve!
If you agree, pass this on, if not, delete.






PLEASE KEEP THIS GOING,
EVEN IF
YOU HAVE PASSED IT ON BEFORE!!

World Missionary Press down (but not out)

Like many others, WMP just trying to keep keeping on in these shaky economic times.
Mass email regarding company news.


Dear Ryan,

We seek your prayer support now in three important matters:

1. Our main printing press is down due to mechanical problems in the folding unit. Allen Tatum, our repairman, is to travel today from Missouri, hopefully to be ready for evaluating and fixing the folder starting tomorrow morning. Every hour the press is down when it would normally be running means 60,000 fewer Scripture booklets available to send into our troubled world.

Please pray for Allen’s safety in travel, and for wisdom for him in diagnosing and fixing the problem quickly.

2. Praise God with us for $173,261.66 He has already provided in March, and then please pray for $105,694.98 yet needed by March 31 to meet budget for the month.

We trust God daily for “our daily bread,” for financial provision to enable the work to move steadily forward in spite of the economic uncertainties swirling about us. He is indeed able!

3. Please pray for God’s touch upon Vicky Benson, who is approaching week six of dealing with pain in her right leg caused by sciatica. Pray also for Herb Amstutz, who will undergo surgery Wednesday for his blocked nostril; for Greg Campbell, who will have surgery April 9 on his foot (plantar fasciitis); for Maryanne Arden, who is waiting test results; and for Kent Biller who has prostate cancer. THANK YOU!

Thank you so much for your crucial prayer support again at this time. You are a blessing to the team here at World Missionary Press and to millions around the world who are reading God’s Word in their own languages because of what God is accomplishing through this ministry.

Please have a great day in the Lord!

Your friend in Christ,
