Jarvis Ward, National</B></div> <div> <B>Facilitator of City and Community Ministries for The</B></div> <div> <B>Mission America Coalition:</B></div> <div> <B> </B></div> <div> <B>God is using The Lighthouse Movement in a</B></div> <div> <B>significant way as Christians across the nation</B></div> <div> <B>prepare for September 11th Remembrance Services. </B></div> <div> <B>The LHM themes of Prayer-Care-Share are integrated</B></div> <div> <B>throughout the entire outreach effort and are vital</B></div> <div> <B>to the impact of this national outreach. Here's</B></div> <div> <B>why:</B></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <B>CHURCH RESOURCES</B></div> <div> <B>The Free Pastor's Packet, which can be downloaded by</B></div> <div> <B>going to www.911remembrance.com, provides bulletin</B></div> <div> <B>inserts on Prayer, Care and Share for the Sundays</B></div> <div> <B>preceding September 11th. Current Lighthouses are</B></div> <div> <B>using these as resources in their ongoing Lighthouse</B></div> <div> <B>ministry. Local Churches are also using the</B></div> <div> <B>Pastor's Packet to recruit other Christians/members</B></div> <div> <B>into the Lighthouse Life-style.</B></div> <div> <B> </B></div> <div> <B>INDIVIDUAL LIGHTHOUSES</B></div> <div> <B>As individual Lighthouses are praying for and caring</B></div> <div> <B>for at least five people now through September</B></div> <div> <B>11th, Lighthouses are being encouraged to personally</B></div> <div> <B>invite those they have been praying for and caring</B></div> <div> <B>for to attend the September 11th Remembrance</B></div> <div> <B>Service. Free reproducible invitations are also</B></div> <div> <B>included in the Free Pastor's Packet.</B></div> <div> <B> </B></div> <div> <B>REMEMBRANCE VIDEO</B></div> <div> <B>A September 11th Remembrance video has been produced</B></div> <div> <B>with 3 minute segments each on Prayer-Care & Share</B></div> <div> <B>that can be shown during worship times or in Sunday</B></div> <div> <B>School settings leading up to the Remembrance</B></div> <div> <B>Service. These videos are produced in such a way</B></div> <div> <B>that they can be used months after September 11th to</B></div> <div> <B>motivate and instruct Christians in the Lighthouse</B></div> <div> <B>Life-style. A special 6 minute video, with powerful</B></div> <div> <B>testimonies from NYFD Firefighters and an invitation</B></div> <div> <B>to hope in Christ, is available to be shown at the</B></div> <div> <B>September 11th Service.</B></div> <div> <B> </B></div> <div> <B>MEDIA RESOURCES</B></div> <div> <B>In addition to the faithful prayers of thousands of</B></div> <div> <B>Lighthouses, TV commercial spots being shown in many</B></div> <div> <B>cities promoting the September 11th Remembrance</B></div> <div> <B>Services. To find out more about the TV spots go to</B></div> <div> <B>www.faithhighway.com. Many Christian radio stations</B></div> <div> <B>will be sharing Public Service Announcements (PSA's)</B></div> <div> <B>promoting the Services. Special PSA's for secular</B></div> <div> <B>radio have also been produced and can be downloaded</B></div> <div> <B>at: www.911remembrance.com. Local newspapers will</B></div> <div> <B>be doing special stories. If you would like to make</B></div> <div> <B>sure the media in your city/community has these</B></div> <div> <B>resources and the News Release, please go to the</B></div> <div> <B>911remembrance.com site and forward them to your</B></div> <div> <B>media contacts or call your local media and ask them</B></div> <div> <B>to visit the site. </B></div> <div> <B> </B></div> <div> <B>LIGHTHOUSES SHINE ON</B></div> <div> <B>After the September 11th Services are over,</B></div> <div> <B>Lighthouses will continue the Lighthouse life-style</B></div> <div> <B>of prayer-care-share for those they invited to the</B></div> <div> <B>services. This might include an invitation to</B></div> <div> <B>return to the church the following Sunday (September</B></div> <div> <B>15) for Sunday School or worship, or to begin a</B></div> <div> <B>Bible study by using some of the Lighthouse</B></div> <div> <B>resources found at: www.lighthousemovement.com.</B></div> <div> <B> </B></div> <div> <B>The next two weeks of mobilizing Churches in America</B></div> <div> <B>to prepare for a September 11th Remembrance Service</B></div> <div> <B>are crucial.
