Massive "God is Going Back to School" Campaign Planned for May 3-7, 2004

 

Massive "God is Going Back to School" Campaign Planned for
May 3-7, 2004

If you have been sickened, as we have been, by the expulsion of God from our public schools and His removal from the public square, then let's do more in 2004. Let's push out into the deep water and bring Him back to school, and back into the public arena - Ten Commandments and all! This will never happen at the political level – at least not now. But it can happen if a few moms and dads, pastors, students, and teachers join the Second American Revolution to turn our nation right-side-up again, in the Name of Jesus.

Let's move on the offensive and "storm the gates of hell" this year, rather than waiting for them to "blob-like" consume us. It is time for the Church of Jesus Christ in America to begin living up to her rich heritage. It is time for us to not just pray about what we are supposed to do, but to act upon what we already know to do! Our Lord Jesus is calling us to action! It is time for the Word of God to become flesh through foolish little instruments like you and me. We can do this, if we will.

Below is a little New Year's poem sent to us by Mike Warren in Rochester, New York. If this doesn't inspire you to move further up and further into the Kingdom of God, then nothing will.

Disturb Us, 0 Lord!
"Disturb us, 0 Lord, when we are too well pleased with ourselves; when our dreams have come true because we dreamed too little; when we have ar­rived in safety because we sailed close to the shore.

"Disturb us, 0 Lord, when with the abundance of things which we possess, we have lost our thirst for the water of life; when having fallen in love with time, we have ceased to dream of eternity; and, in our efforts to build the new earth, have allowed our vision of the new Heaven to grow dim.

"Stir us, 0 Lord, to dream and dare more boldly, to venture on the wider seas where storms shall show Thy mas­tery, where losing sight of land we shall find the stars. In the name of Him, who has pushed back the horizons of our hopes and invited the brave to follow Him?"

On May 3-7, we will be mounting a massive "God is Going Back to School" campaign. During this time, we will be asking teachers to pin a copy of the 10 Commandments on their bulletin boards. We will have them pray with their students before the start of school - a simple prayer for parents, teachers, and their nation. We will also ask them to bring their Bibles and read from them at appropriate times.

We will ask Christian students to bring their Bibles to school, read them, and pray before they have lunch. For five consecutive days we will be coming to these great gates of hell (the public school) with literature that will deal with five specific topics – one for each day.

On Monday, May 3rd, we will pass out literature dealing with the Christian worldview – "The Battle Between Two Seeds – Passing the Torch to the Next Generation"

On Tuesday, May 4th, we will pass out literature concerning abortion (graphic pictures to be shown). "The Graphic Truth of Abortion"

On Wednesday, May 5th, we will pass out literature dealing with false religions – "Christ versus the World – All Religions Do Not Lead to God"

On Thursday, May 6th, we will pass out literature concerning homosexuality – "Homosexuality versus Christianity – Do We Build Bridges or Storm the Gates?"

On Friday, May 7th, we will pass out literature concerning violence in America – "Why are Kids Killing Kids?"

On Friday evening, May 7th, you might consider having a rally at one of the local churches where the students can gather to ask questions. Pizza is always a good help for a great turn-out!

Ask God for His direction as to which school you should choose. Then go! Don't worry about all of the impossibilities – just go! Jesus is already there and He will be your help and source of strength. As your theology becomes biography at the gates of hell, the gates will not prevail!

We suggest that you gather at least one hour before school starts to set up, then begin passing out brochures. This can be effectively done with five Christians unashamed of their faith and willing to stand for Christ. Then, if at all possible, come back when the school-day ends to answer any questions students might have. You will be surprised at the questions. Do this for all five days!

Be sure that the school administration, the teachers, the students, and the parents will be abuzz about this for weeks. You will find God opening so many doors to be a witness for Christ that you will wonder why you had not done it before. Know that you will be building courage into the hearts of teachers and their students, who have wanted to stand for Jesus in school, but just didn't know how. Yes, you will be giving them a ready-made platform from which they can launch into a defense for their faith.

Let's give ‘em heaven at the gates. The Second American Revolution has begun!

In Christian love,
