The Response Aug. 6

Hello everyone, I just wanted to make you all aware of something that is happening this Saturday, Aug. 6. It is called "The Response" and you can find all of their information here.

The Response is a call from Governor Perry of Texas to come together in prayer and fasting for our country. The problems we face: the deterioration of the family, the abortion epidemic, terrorism and financial crisis all stem from a single root cause - this nation has walked away from God. We don't have the power, ability, wisdom or resources to fix things on our own. So we are gathering together to make an appeal to God. We are gathering together to fast and pray, to repent of our hard-heartedness and to ask for mercy. In the words of the Prophet Joel, "Who knows? Perhaps God will relent and leave behind a blessing?"

We are gathering together at IHOPE this Saturday from 10-5 to join with others in our nation to confess our sins and the sins of our nation and to ask God for mercy and forgiveness. Please join us if it is at all possible.
