News - July, 2007
Instead of actively seeking support for All Night Church I kicked off the month of July with a family reunion followed by four days of spiritual retreat at the Brotherhood of St. Symeon the New Theologian in Destin, Florda. There I had the opportunity to be ministered to by my spiritual father, Father Eusebius Stephanou, an elderly man who has been a leader in renewal ministry in the Eastern Orthodox Church for forty years.

I hesitate to tell you this because I hate to turn people off. I know that many people mentally equate Eastern Orthodoxy with Roman Catholicism - the robes, the incense, the altars, the priesthood, the prayers to saints, and especially Mary. The hatred among many Evangelicals is strong. And, of course, it's not just hatred - it's loving opinion backed up by strong convictions in the Word of God. Either way it's a turn off to the very people I am appealing to for help. If you have an evangelical mission, you go to the Evangelicals. All Night Church is a challenge to Evangelicals.

But truth be told, it was an Orthodox Church where I was once a theology professor that commissioned me to start the All Night Church mission. That sounds strange so maybe you would like to hear the whole story.

I can't say everything in a single Newsletter. In this issue I will simply explain that I sought a word from the Lord and the Lord spoke to my heart and birthed in me the All Night Church vision. Visions need to be tested. So I consulted with others. And I kept hearing that the vision was real and needed. And more importantly, that now was the time to start it up.

Some people probably wonder what it is like to hear from the Lord this way. It's not like Jesus appeared and spoke verbally. It was more like an inner fire of conviction and concern that wouldn't die out. It increased through the years until finally it was almost screaming in my head and my heart. This was accompanied by people telling me to do it. And I was seeing people turn to the Lord.

It's one thing to feel called to minister. It is another thing to "start a ministry." As a cab driver I was already ministering individually. Addicts were recovering. A good number of my customers were in tears as we prayed together at certain special times. They had become friends. My wife had hated that I had become so close to street people. It was a little dangerous. But it was just there. You have a job on the street, you meet street people. She had grown to accept it.

"Starting a ministry" was a whole new and much more difficult proposal, as if driving a cab hadn't been difficult enough. It meant actually opening up a building and having to get certain bills paid every month. It meant enlisting a certain amount of help. That is what this web site is for. The vision would have to be shared. And the laborers would have to be called out. They would also have to be prepared - me among them first. Fasting, reading, prayer, more fasting, more prayer, more reading, more and more.

Ministry is war. Any ministry is. But to make true change in a very dark world, where powerful addictions exist along with deep prejudices, this was like Armageddon.

Additionally, it doesn't matter what ministry you are called to, a person would be insane to go about it without a spiritual covering. You've got to prepare, and this is perhaps the most important element. Never travel alone.

To make a long story short, I spoke with those who had mentored me through the years. And I consulted my spiritual father, first and foremost. Speaking to Father Eusebius was extremely refreshing. He happens to be a Greek Orthodox archimandrite, and the church that commissioned me is the Ukranian Orthodox Church, not that I am either Greek or Ukranian. And if you asked me what denomination I was personally I'd probably prefer to say I was "Evanangelical" far more than I would say "I'm an Orthodox Christian." But the truth is that I don't really care what I'm classified as. I'm just a disciple of Jesus. I'm still learning. Can we just sit at His feet together?

What a person needs most when they have a vision like this is Jesus - His wisdom, His discerning eye, His heart, and His commisioning. And I am talking about the real Jesus, not one of the many Jesus constructs. The commission of men would be worthless without the clear word of Jesus Christ empowering it. Fortunately for me, in Father Eusebius I had a loving father with the richness of Christ to share. And the primate, Haralambos and Father Eusebius are both unique in Orthodoxy, the only two I know of in this second largest world body ofChristian believers that are in tune with the spirit of Elijah in these last days.

If this mission is to accomplish anything for the kingdom, one thing I know is that it will happen with the power of heaven to restore. It won't happen in the flesh alone. I see the Elijah ministry as being a deliverance ministry. It is a ministry of restoration. This means a great spiritual war must take place. Certain territory lost to the devil is going to be taken back. This is not a game. Much fasting and prayer is required. I would be a fool to jump headlong into ministry knowing what kind of a battle lies ahead. Like the Israelites in the desert, there is only one thing to do. Keep my eye on the glory. When the glory moves, follow it in praise. Until the glory moves, stay still. I will explain a little bit about what the Elijah ministry is in this letter for any who haven't heard about it. And you can count on me to keep going back to it and harping on it because it is very relevant for our day.

INTERDENOMINATIONAL VISION
Before I cripple the mission any further with my big mouth, let me make clear that the All Night Church is not going to be an Eastern Orthodox Church. It is not going to be a Roman Catholic Church. It is not going to be a Protestant Church of any denomination. It is going to simply be an All Hours Church. It is a single facility that all of these churches can use. And it is a common work of evangelism, outreach and fellowship. And it is a vision to be shared, so that other All Night and All Hours Churches can spring up and multiply. I know they will.

Since it is still in a concept stage communicating what it is isn't so easy. People have many different ideas about what "church" means. Some people suppose it means that there will be preaching going on 24 hours a day. That's not the case. Some view "church" as "liturgy." The word "liturgy" actually means "work." That it will be. But the burden of Jesus is light. It won't be dominated by performance. Mostly, it will just be a place where people can come in and fellowship, maybe get counseling and make prayer requests. And, I trust, it will be a place where people meet the authentic Jesus Christ living in His church. If they don't meet the heart of Jesus there nothing good will happen. If you wish to be fully restored to the hearts of the most loving fathers of the church, then you are welcome to serve with us at the All Night Church.

I do invite all of the churches in the area to come and hold events, liturgical, worship or otherwise, or just preach or dialog or hold special events or whatever, so long as they can agree with the doctrine page, which is not very demanding. Let me see if I can encourage you and explain what I see.

First, if the Lord has birthed in you a desire to start a church as a pastor, the All Night Church would be a great place to get a church started. Not only is it a wholesome spiritual environment as a common work, but from the business side it makes sense too. Since there would be no risk - all I ask is 10-50% of the offerings - you wouldn't have to pay rent. You don't have to pay for hotels if you are an on-the-road preacher either. Use the facility to build up your congregation. Then when you have the support, move on to another location.

Less "churchy" activities can be planned too. But I have no concern about filling up 24 hour time slots with activity. All I'm thinking about is availability. Lots of people have lots of ideas. I'm convicted by what the Lord did when He came to Jerusalem. He overturned the tables of the money-changers. I'm reluctant to even place vending machines there. But I realize that a place is much more inviting if there is food and drink there. And it is more inviting to those who go to bars if there are cigarette machines. I know we won't serve alcohol. I'm praying about whether to have a smoking section because I have deep convictions about maintaining the body as a holy vessel of the Lord. But there are other considerations. It's a matter of hospitality. This "house of prayer" is for them. But then neither do I want to condone smoking. So I'm wrestling with it.

What would Jesus do? He came to us while we were yet sinners. And He didn't hang with the Pharisees and religious leaders of His day. He made friends with those who were in need of a physician. I'm not sure He demanded that they instantly give up every vice they had or become fully health conscious. As a taxi cab driver I've let my customers smoke in my cab. Personally I don't smoke and I can't stand it. But this makes them feel more comfortable with me so I think it's worth the price. It's in a non-judgmental and humble atmosphere that people learn to trust. They open up. They confess. They realize they can do better when they see me not partaking in their vices yet being a real friend. I wind up praying with them, bringing them into recovery, offering occassional advice. I know God waits patiently for us. Why should we be so hasty to try to change people if He isn't?

Instead of talking people out of their sin, usually I just try to let them know that I care about them. I pray for them. I'm not capable of changing people. If what they need is God, then God is the one that is going to have to supply God, and it will be done by the transforming power of Jesus Christ by the work of the Holy Spirit. What have I got to give them? I can tell them about Christ with a smile, with a hug, with a laugh and by an example. Most people in America have already heard the Gospel. It's not necessary to whip out or recommend a book. The Holy Spirit does the work. That doesn't mean He won't ask me to say something. He calls us to listen. Sometimes speaking up is exactly what is needed. Not usually.

WHAT INSPIRED THE VISION
I refuse to believe it's just me. I can't tell you how many times I have wished that I could walk into a church and find somebody to talk to. Sometimes I feel like praying about a need. Other times I feel like just learning something - getting into the Word, or studying the church fathers, or finding out about new books. I always want to grow. Still other times, I am up and awake and out at night, but not tired enough to go home and go to sleep. I get bored. I have some hours to use. I ask myself how to best use those hours. Me, I like to go to libraries and churches. I thirst for learning and growing in faith. A communion service could be nice too. I hunger after the Living Word of God. But there is nothing open but restaurants, bars, maybe some movie theatres. It all costs money. Even sports cost money. There is nobody out there that actually cares about me. There is nothing worthwhile to do. Passing by one open establishment after another it becomes clear to me that they all just want my money. And the only thing of value, as I see it, is the one thing that lasts. But where are the open churches? There are none.

I've often considered that maybe I was exceptional. But even if I didn't thirst after divine things so much, even if I was a little more "average" I would still have to live on a budget. What is there to do in this world?Are we really so uncreative that all we can do for fun is eat and drink and watch movies, always spending our money? Most people have this in common.

I also have to continue to romance my wife. She wants to go out with me. We love to plan double dates because we love to meet up with other people - both Christian and non. Invariably we spend money doing it, but not nearly often enough. The one activity that is free is church. This is really not rocket science. The churches need to be open 24 hours a day, or at least every evening for people like me and her. Do you know anyone who needs to live within their means but also feels like "going out" every now and then? Wouldn't it be nice if there was a place to go and meet people that provided a nice atmosphere, good friendships, but didn't obligate you to spend money?

There are also the completely lost. Those people need open church doors for a different reason, but just don't know it. They might just enter in if they felt unpressured and it was recommended for no other reason than it was a free place to go and meet nice people. So I've spent the past thirty five years of my life wishing that such a place existed. The void has literally irritated me. And now its just time to make it happen. I can't take waiting any more. Since no one else is making it happen, I will. Let's just give it a try! That's what started all of this. And that's how it all began.

ALTERNATE A1A
Then one day it just got in my face. As a cab driver who works the night shift on the north end of the county most everything converges at Foster's Pub and that's the place to wait for possible rides. All the bars in Jupiter close down by 3am. So does the Safari Club, Jumby Bay, Roonies, Dubliner, Swamp Grass Willy, Bay City Bistro, Noche and the Snuggery. Others close earlier. To pick up rides after 3am either I drive down to West Palm to wait outside a strip club like the Cheetah or Spearmint Rhino or I go to Fosters. Hopefully, there won't be too many other cab drivers there. At 5am the club closes. I try to snoozle the cab up close to the front door where I can't be missed.

I hate to say it, but even with the police almost always hanging out there right next to me, die-hard drinkers and drug-takers still pour out throughout the night, especially at closing, and walk right past the cab to get into their cars. I'm lucky if out of forty people even one gets into the cab. Palm Beach County is the DUI capital of the world. Some of them get busted. Some of them manage to make it home, or wherever they're headed. Some of them have accidents. Some are fatal.

The need for a place for these people to sober up with a little coffee before driving away is pretty simple to comprehend. I don't expect drunks to normally wander into churches. But when the light is on right when they need it most, and the music is playing at a good calming volume, you never know what kind of good thing can happen. It's all about atmosphere at that point. Hospitality meets the intoxicated, the curious, the back-slidden, the agnostic, the confused, and the very intelligent. Some may be sober. They don't all fit one description. You never know who will walk in. Christ died and lives for all. I just happen to believe that locating the All Night Church right next to this spot where all of the night life converges every night is extremely sensible.

Then in the Yellow Cab cashier's office there is a poster of the cutest toddler you could ever imagine. He was killed by a drunk driver. You can see where all this might spur a person on to action. The office space was available for lease. It screamed for my attention, my contemplation, my anguish. And finally, it just said, "do it."

So I started putting out "support feelers." That, of course, was silly. You don't do ministry because you have support. You do ministry because you are called with an unmistakable Voice.

To "put out support feelers" meant describing what I saw. But not everyone has time. As a general rule of thumb, the more money you are asking for, the less time you will have to ask for it. Crazy, huh?

Two wealthy people I spoke to suggested locations in Riviera Beach. They didn't have time to listen and see the whole vision. They had their own concepts of what ministry was. The one automatically assumed I was talking about a shelter and a food pantry. The other was concerned about price. He had just sold a church he owned in Riviera Beach for less than its property value. "I could have just given this to you!" he said. "Your timing was off!"

A stand alone facility wasn't the vision. A facility that stood next to a nightclub was what I was looking for. He didn't get it. Maybe I should explain something about Riviera Beach. That was where my cab got shot up and destroyed by crack addicted robbers who wanted my pocket money so bad they were going to make sure I had a hole in my head before they left.

Riviera Beach is not a safe place, especially for white people. No one, black or white, is going to feel like they've discovered "great atmosphere" when they have to take a handgun with them to make it from their car to the front door and back without being robbed. Riviera Beach - Palm Beach County's secret ghetto - is incompatible with this kind of mission. I know it's cheaper. I know people have needs there too. The problem is it's like Gibeah of Benjamin (read Judges 19).

To bind up the strong man, we've got to work on one demon at a time. Yes, Riviera Beach has the deepest needs of all - but this is war. Paul didn't go into Asia because the Holy Spirit told him not to. The fact that a place has a deeper need does not mean that that is the place you must go first. You must follow both the path and the timing of the glory as you seek His face.

Similarly, in the flesh I had hoped to open the 9339 Alternate A1A location in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida by August 1st. I had received a significant amount of verbal support and encouragement, as well as some financial commitments before heading up to Destin to pray. But it occurred to me while I was on my journey that there was a very deep spiritual battle going on and that before anybody started anything a lot more prayer was needed. So the project is delayed. And it is even possible that the location will be lost to another leasee because I have still not secured the property.

In my June newsletter I remember rambling about needing at least three paid staff members, and with renovations needing to raise approximately $30,000 to get started. That is true. And I know enough wealthy people that I think would be willing that I could collect that. But in prayer and under spiritual direction such things come into better focus.

For one thing, I see now that it is better to postpone the opening until there is a wider grass-roots communication taking place. It is much easier to get financial commitments from ten $3000/month donors than from a thousand $30/month donors. But I have seen what single contributors can do to churches. I've seen churches, especially large churches, be crippled by the threat of losing major donors. It's not a subject preachers ever bring up over the pulpit. That is why you need to stay close to wise and caring elders. Seek good counsel.

So please be aware that I will continue raising letters of commitment through the months of July and August. But I have still not secured the property. The fact that I personally think it is the perfect location, doesn't mean this is God's perfect choice. I want to hear what the people think. I want to receive thousands of phone calls. Leave me your messages. If you can't get my cell number get my 888 number. That box is never full. I don't have a secretary yet. If you call my number you either get me or my voice mail. Also, be on the look out for a co-signer. I don't qualify to sign the lease myself.

GOING GRASS-ROOTS
If anyone has a vision for a mission, how do they get "grass-roots:" support? Well, when it comes to churches, the first thing you need, if you want to reach individual members, is the support of pastors. Announcements from pulpits is the simplest and most effective means of communication to church members. It's quick. It's easy. And it's free.

There is only one problem. Each of the churches, if you talk to staff members, perceives itself as already over-commited. And they are unwilling to take on any "new projects." They are too busy.

Too busy to make an announcement in their bulletin or from their pulpit? Really? How hard is that?

But it is more complicated than that.

In the case of "All Night Church" some may fear that since the name "All Night Church" has the word "Church" in it that we are talking about competing with them, instead of working with them to support them. It needs to be explained that, our mission is to plug any people who decide to start attending church back into their own local churches and encourage them to tithe there. Maybe I'm still too young and naive, but it seems to me that this would increase their membership and be consistent with their existing goals, helping their projects along. So I know that this fear is baseless. But they don't know that.

In fact, they don't know who I am. Prior to a good introduction, in their eyes I am a nobody. And when I explain to them that I have been commissioned by the Orthodox Church to do this, well that does nothing to assuage their fear that their idea of "church" and my idea of "church" are possibly not the same.

On top of that, add the concern they all have that they would be obligated to chip in. In the vision I see, while they are certainly invited and can use our facility any time they want for whatever purpose they want, they are under no obligation to chip in whatever. As I see it, we are at their service. They are not at our service. But before I explain this, they don't know that. Will they give me the time to make this explanation?

In truth, another thing I want to know is what their needs are - their prayer needs, financial needs, talent needs, equipment, literature, you name it. A church that is at the service of all of the local churches, regardless of what they are getting in return, is simply offering help. If it's not wanted, well ok. But I suppose I'd better make this vision clear. I know that church pastors are accustomed to having people, even Christians and pastors, serve themselves only. I do need to raise funds for this facility, but that is not what we're doing. So how do I quell that fear, along with all their others, with an elevator pitch?

Formally, even if the vision is to go- grass-roots, it makes sense to go to church pastors before going to the members of their churches. One needs permission. It's good etiquette. For that reason, my first round of communication once I returned home was to church leaders. I made a quick phone call and sent out a fax that introduced the concept. I left a lot of messages. In an attempt to reach the twenty closest churches over the weekend I sent out nine faxes. I'm not big on cold-calling. Wanna help?

A TRAP
A person on an online forum I was discussing all this with asked me a question that reminded me of something that I considered a problem. What if the church pastors don't support the idea? Well, the truth was that my gut instinct was telling me that they wouldn't. The truth was that by sending out these faxes I was setting myself up for failure. I may be pleasantly surprised, but the fact is that I expect every last one of the church pastors I contacted to turn the idea down, even though the fax is pretty inviting. So far no takers.

It's a trap because deep down inside I know that something has happened to the leadership of the church. They understand the business of religion. And they are very distrustful. Cold calling is just not the way things work in the world of church pastors.

Dare I say also that there really is a competitive spirit among the churches? Jealousies? Back biting? Stress? Worry? I'm not willing to go so far as to say that the pastors of our local churches are not servants. They are. But their minds are on their own congregations and programs and missions. When outsiders come knocking on their doors wanting to start something new, well, let me just say that it's a sure bet that the reject pile is very high. They reject the ideas of their own members. So when you come from another congregation, you've really got to have a good elevator pitch, especially on a cold-call.

An "elevator pitch" is a way to state your proposition in less than the time it takes to descend to the ground floor in an elevator. When I started a Christian Nightclub in 1990 elevator pitches were easy. The name said it all. You immediately got the concept - Christian Nightclub. All Night Church is much more difficult. People are very picky about what they want out of a church. And if you use the word "church" in your name you are doomed from the start. The pastor wonders, "what will they be doing there all night?" And they imagine the worst. But don't fret. That's what web sites and blogs are for. The idea does sink in with a little thinking.

PHARISEES AND FATHERS
Some of the churches, are of course, ok let me say the "p" word - pharasaic. I won't name any names. If you are a member of one you know who I'm talking about. You have my sympathies. Pharasaic churches take many forms. What they have in common is that they do a lot of talking, and they are probably quite good at performing, but their hearts are far from the true mind of God. And they really don't care that people in this world are in need of a Savior. And all the while harboring these thoughts they actually think very highly of themselves. They look down on a world that doesn't know the faith as well as they do. They put on a great show. But they are hypocrites.

In the Gospel of Matthew, children were brought to the Lord on more than one occasion. Did you know that these stories have absolutely nothing to do with blessing little children? Read it in context and you'll see that the children are the innocent little minds and hearts that are instructed by religious leaders. It was the duty of the religious leader to walk in the spirit, the spirit of Christ and to bring this great love of Christ to the next generation as a legacy. The leaven of the pharisees was not just legalism, it was a heart that was far from the mind of God. By birthing the next generation into this tradition, they were placing stumbling blocks before their children. Like leaven, it multiplies. It refers to what these fathers are handing on to their children, the next generation of pharisees. Jesus had very harsh words to say about this.

Phariseeism was also about leadership. The pharisees did not have servants' hearts. So when Jesus said that you must be like a little child, he was referring to the fact that little children do not exercise any authority over anyone. They look up to everyone. He was making a reference to service and to the spirit of humility. Even Christ humbled Himself and became a servant - less than what He was. Re-read it and you'll see.

In the midst of all of this is the parable of the lost sheep. The good shepherd leaves the ninty nine to find the one lost sheep. The pharasaic evil shepherds of today have no concern for the little children. They just keep tending their own flocks. Do you see the contrast? Read this in Matthew, because he is very deliberate about the sequence of parables and stories he presents. The theme in chapters 15-18 is leadership, and specifically church leadership. If you think it refers only to Jewish leaders, then consider that Jesus says in chapter 16 very specifically, that "on this rock I will build my church" and "what you bind on earth will be bound in heaven."

Seeing that these references to children refer to the lost and to the lay-faithful, and perhaps even to the disillusioned, I find that what is called for in a time when there are those who practice a form of religion but deny its power, a need for an Elijah ministry. The prophet Malachi spoke of restoring the hearts of the children to their fathers and the fathers to the children. The "fathers" are those responsible for handing on the faith to the next generation. Jesus, in referring to Elijah spoke in the future tense, to indicate that there would be a future time when all things would be restored. It didn't end with John the Baptist. So Malachi 4:5-6 would be fulfilled at both His first and second coming. This is very good news because it means that the church is going to undergo a restoration. The pharasaical parts will be softened. And there is going to be a revival. It is not just a revival of prophecy. It is a restoration of concern for the children, who up until now have had stumbling blocks put in their way.

What are these stumbling blocks? Jesus talked about offenses and he pointed to the heart. The word for "offense" is "scandalon." It was a scandal that these who were in charge of teaching the truth of God had hearts that were so far away from Him. In our own day, the scandals are quite well known. I don't have to enumerate. But it is very plain that the offenses that have been so well published have fortified a satanic stronghold against belief, particularly in "institutional religion." There is no need for me to convince anyone that people literally hate institutional religion. Who hates them? The people that Jesus died for and loves. In His eyes they are still His children - His lost sheep.

A WEDDING INVITATION
So what does all this have to do with a "grass-roots" movement? Am I saying that our local church pastors are pharisees so expect failure? May it never be! Quite the contrary, I do not believe that our local pastors are pharisees at all, though I do believe that many people, being caught up in a mass media world run by satan and in the common hatred of the church, have been scandalized and are in need of a restoration to the true hearts of the fathers of the church, from the local modern day pastors clear back through history to the disciples and patriarchs. How can such a restoration take place? How about we propose a wedding invitation!?

I am a practical person. And if I hear God say He wants me to do something, then I expect Him to provide a real means of achieving it. Now since I don't expect the pastors to announce anything from their pulpits, for all the reasons I've enumerated, what I propose is a little more difficult, but I think it will be more effective and it really will effect a grass-roots movement. What I propose to do is panhandle wedding invitations. And if you are familiar with the Bible, I think you also will realize how the Lord has spoken not just about the All Night Church, but also about these invitations.

Here is the plan. I actually know quite a few homeless people and will seek to enlist their help in this. They stand out at the highways and byways begging at the major intersections. And I will join them. And you can too. What I want to do is to pass out wedding invitations and to get these homeless people to do it for us, wherever possible. The Wedding Invitation is a parable. You may have found this web site because you received one. It is a simple one page flyer from a man named "James, the Wedding Planner." The homeless people will be able to get more cars to open their windows if they put "Wedding Invitations - take one" on their signs and have flyers to pass out than they will if they have "will work for food" or some other phrase on their card board sign. People will open their windows becuase they are curious. A wedding? Them?

Now perhaps, these homeless people will not be willing to do this. But where is your home? If it is on the earth, then perhaps you are not fit for this mission. Did I not ask you to join them?

And that's it. Click here for a PDF copy of the flyer. Here is what the flyer says ...

PLEASE HELP ME WITH WEDDING INVITATIONS

My name is James. My grandparents adopted many children and now they have many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Part of my family was taken into captivity by the enemies of my country and their many great grandchildren have been left fatherless and motherless.

Sadly, even among those who have survived there are divisions in the family, so that the grandparents and fathers are not even speaking to the children and the children are not speaking to their ancestors.

It is hard to believe that all this tragedy could happen to a single family. But it is true.

I am one of the few left in my family that even seems to care about all these children. There are over five thousand of them. I know this number seems huge. It may even be larger.

I would like to help unite my family by having a wedding feast because the one person in the family they all seem to care about is getting married, but I can’t afford the invitations by myself. The couple has asked me to help them. But I have no money. And I don’t know who to turn to for help. I know God will help. But I feel Him asking me to ask others for help.

Would you please find it in your heart to help me with this project? The couple is very beautiful and this wedding could be the one thing that could reunite the whole family. I know this is true. God would richly bless you if you would help. I know it!

Thank you for your kind consideration!  James, the Wedding Planner

This message is a parable about the church
Those who were invited to the wedding feast have not been attending. The churches are all dwindling in attendance.

Meantime, those who are young in faith or don’t know the Lord are estranged from the institutional churches. They want nothing to do with them. The churches have been scandalous and offensive to them. The hatred is strong towards these ill-hearted fathers.

Therefore I am going out into the highways and the byways to invite anyone who would be a child in the faith to a personal and genuine relationship with the real Jesus and know Him as Christ. The wedding will take place very soon. Time is very short.

Would you please help me with this mission?

Thank you for your kind consideration!  James, the Wedding Planner
