===Oct 2007===
Dear leaders,
As you know our communities are being attacked with poverty, violence and destructive lifestyles. We are currently living in a world where the world does not see any HOPE. With all of this happening, people are not respecting each other and they are not resecting GOD. As believers in God, we feel that now is a time to go inito cooperate prayer and fasting to cover our city with peace and blessings.
I am asking that all who are able to pray and fast on October 30, 2007, along with those who participated in "The Gathering" for juvenile justice. We will be breaking our fast at 6pm. This day was chosen because Halloween eve is also considered "devils night." There is anticipation that this will be the night for gang initiations.
It is up to the people of God to make sure that we are "putting it in God's hands." this is why we are working together to make sure that God's will is done. Let's join in this city-wide effort.
Rev. John C. Welch
President, PIIN
