  • Jan-Feb 2010 S ’ Haiti’S Killer Quake
    the SERVING HAITI TOUT S Jan-Feb 2010 S ’ Haiti’s Killer Quake While many of you are aware of the earthquake that struck Haiti, our ministry partners at Open Door Church are safe. Last Friday, Doug Holliday and I went to Haiti and together with Pastor Wiljean we identified our role and strategy to equip Open Door ministries to serve his country in this time of great sadness and loss. The devastation is horrific and troops are suggesting everyone evacuate Port au Prince. Haitians are making the trek to our ministry areas in Cap Haitien, the countryside villages of Bois de Lance, and Hinche. Our new church plant in Hinche, with very little resources not even a roof, are preparing themselves to offer refuge. The needs will be great and will grow in the coming months. There is food and fuel shortages, children orphaned, the need for medical attention, and for hope. Join us as we bring aid resources to the Open Door churches and help prepare them to embrace these survivors. Our opportunity to meet Haiti’s physical, emotional and spiritual need is now. We are coordinating efforts with Cap Haitien Health Network, Living Hope Ministries, Missionary Flights International, and Kids Against Hunger, Clean the World, Pure Water for All, and WorldWide Village to bring boxes of dried foods, water treatment kits and relief supplies to Open Door. Please help! Visit opendoorhaiti.org and donate. Thank you. Doug and I with Mark Stuart of Hands & Feet On the ground in Haiti, our relief team is eager A group of about 50 people from our home International in Jacmel..

  • Haiti News Roundup: November 12 -23, 2005
    HAITI NEWS ROUNDUP: NOVEMBER 12 -23, 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. Embassy workers return to Haiti THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Seattle Post Intelligencer Tuesday, November 22, 2005 PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti -- The U.S. Embassy said Tuesday that security in Haiti has improved enough for diplomatic employees evacuated earlier this year to return in time for elections. The State Department in May and June ordered the evacuation of an unspecified number of employees and their families for security reasons. Some politicians and human rights groups called on Haiti's Provisional Electoral Council to delay the elections because of lack of preparation and security. In the past 18 months, more than 1,200 Haitians have been killed because of gang violence and political chaos, the Roman Catholic Justice and Peace Commission reported. More than 7,500 U.N. peacekeepers and police have been in Haiti since June 2004 to keep order. They arrived four months after the Feb. 29 overthrow of former President Jean Bertrand Aristide. Haiti's first elections since Aristide's ouster have been set for Dec. 27, after three postponements. On Monday, however, the Provisional Electoral Council declined to confirm the date officially. It said it needed more time to fix a timetable. Haiti expected to set vote for Dec. 27 Haiti's prime minister was expected to announce today that the nation's presidential and legislative elections would be postponed until Dec. 27. BY JOE MOZINGO Miami Herald November 17, 2005 PORT-AU-PRINCE - Under withering U.S. and French pressure to put a new government in office by Feb.

  • CCM Powerpoint for Web Site No Video
    There is a lot of disagreement about Contemporary Christian Music. What I ask is that you forget your preferences, what you have heard from others, and just compare the following information to God’s Word. My opinion and your opinion do not matter. God is truth and we determine 6/6/2008 truth by His Word. 1 Philippians 4:8 Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things. 6/6/2008 2 Contemporary Christian Music Black Or Gray 6/6/2008 3 Gray Areas? There AREN'T any gray areas in the Bible! From Genesis to Revelation, God lays everything out in blacks and whites: . Blessings/Cursings, . Life/ Death, . Heaven/Hell, . God/Satan, . Christ/the World. You have to make your choice. 6/6/2008 4 “If only one is saved it is worth it” 6/6/2008 5 Or is it? 6/6/2008 6 Saved to what? 6/6/2008 7 Saved to What? Christian Rock Music The Youth Group Religion Jesus ? How if they don’t hear His name? 6/6/2008 8 Acts 4:12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. 6/6/2008 9 Does the Ends Justify the means? 6/6/2008 10 Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Sermons, pg. 426. If an act of sin would increase my usefulness tenfold, I have no right to do it; and if an act of righteousness would appear likely to destroy all my apparent usefulness, I am yet to do it.

  • ASCAP/BMI Comment
    Stuart Rosen Senior Vice President General Counsel November 20, 2015 Chief, Litigation III Section Antitrust Division U.S. Department of Justice 450 5th Street NW, Suite 4000 Washington, DC 20001 Re: Justice Department Review of the BMI and ASCAP Consent Decrees To the Chief of the Litigation III Section: BMI recently alerted its community of affiliated songwriters, composers and publishers to the profound impact 100% licensing would have on their careers, both creatively and financially, if it were to be mandated by the U.S. Department of Justice. In a call to action, BMI provided a letter, one for songwriters and one for publishers, to which their signatures could be added. The response was overwhelming. BMI received nearly 13,000 signatures from writers, composers and publishers of all genres of music, at all levels in their careers. Some of the industry's most well- known songwriters added their names, including Stephen Stills, Cynthia Weil, Steve Cropper, Ester Dean, Dean Pitchford, Congressman John Hall, Trini Lopez, John Cafferty, Gunnar Nelson, Lori McKenna, Shannon Rubicam and Don Brewer, among many others. Enclosed you will find the letters, with signatures attached. On behalf of BMI, I strongly urge you to consider the voices of thousands of songwriters and copyright owners reflected here before making a decision that will adversely affect both the creators, and the ongoing creation of, one ofAmerica's most important cultural and economic resources. Vert truly yours, Stuart Rosen 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich Street, New York, NY 10007-0030 (212) 220-3153 Fax: (212) 220-4482 E-Mail: [email protected] ® A Registered Trademark of Broadcast Music, Inc.
