Inside Celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ....................................................... 1 A Voice of Truth An outreach ministry of by BGEA January 27, 2016 Franklin Graham is holding prayer rallies in each state to encourage people to pray for the nation to turn back to God and to live out their faith at home, in public and at the ballot box. So far this year, Franklin Graham has visited four states along the tour and has three more coming up in February—South Carolina (Feb. 9), Georgia (Feb. 10) and Hawaii (Feb. 24). “When I think of what my children and grandchildren are facing today, I realize that if we don’t get involved now, it may be too late.” >> Find Out When Franklin Graham is Coming to Your State. Just a few months after Franklin Graham made that comment last fall, he was on his way to Des Moines, Iowa, to begin his 50-state Decision America Tour, calling Christians around the country to pray for their nation and live out their faith. Why? “The moral and political walls of our nation are crumbling,” Franklin Graham said earlier this month. “Our nation is in trouble. And there’s not one political party that can fix it.” Over 11,700 people have come out to be part of the prayer rallies in Iowa, Tallahassee, Baton Rouge and New Hampshire as the tour continues gaining momentum. The gatherings hinge on God’s words in 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” Some who have attended the rallies say it’s time for Continued on Page 16 Pastor Saeed Update by IMCNews publisher Dr. Anthony Harper Boise, Idaho Pictured above left to right: Pastor Saeed Abedini, MCNews Publisher Dr. Harper, Saeed’s sister and father.

Saeed appeared malnourished and weak. After being in captivity and having experienced frequent beatings and psychological torture, a very significant toll has been exacted upon his health. I had been with Saeed privately just before he left for Iran over three years ago and to me, the before and after experience visiting with him is very marked. And the battle is not over. Please keep praying for restoration of Saeed’s family.

It is an unprecedented opportunity to see the Lord’s healing and renewing power made manifest as we call on citizens to humbly come before His throne. Our theme for 2016 is Wake Up America, emphasizing the need for individuals, corporately and individually, to return to the God of Fathers in reverence for His Holy Name. To further highlight our theme, we’ve chosen Isaiah 58:1a as our Scripture for this year: “Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet.” For the May 5th observances, Dr. Tony Evans, the 2016 Honorary Chairman, wrote a special prayer to be simultaneously read throughout the nation at noon (ET). This recitation will create a huge wave of prayer, flowing from one coast to the other, illustrating the unity of God’s people and acknowledging His dominion over the circumstances facing us. Millions of people will gather to pray at thousands of events facilitated by our volunteer coordinators and people just like you! We hope you’ll join with our staff again as we seek to bring more communities than ever before together in prayer. As a way of assisting you, we have assembled a variety of resources that equip you to organize and publicize prayer gatherings, citywide prayer breakfasts, worship services, and rallies. These materials also present creative ideas geared toward helping individuals and families to establish meaningful devotional times. If you have any questions after reviewing these items, please don’t hesitate to contact our NDP staff at (800) 4448828. We would count it a privilege to lend a hand in whatever manner we are able. At this crucial time for our nation, we can do nothing more important than pray. Thank you in advance for making this spiritual discipline a personal priority and for standing with us as we encourage others to incorporate prayer in their lives. The Lord has graciously anointed our efforts, empowering them to touch and change many hearts and lives. We look forward to seeing His hand move across our land in exciting ways each May in response to our petitions! In closing, we ask that you prayerfully consider becoming a volunteer in your church or community to lead a National Day of Prayer gathering. May the Lord’s peace fill your heart as you rest in Him throughout the days ahead. National Prayer Dear heavenly Father, we come to You today as a humble people desperate for Your supernatural intervention on behalf of our beloved nation. First, we thank You Pictured above: Dr. Tony Evans, the 2016 Honorary Chairman for all the blessings You have bestowed on our land, blessings that have allowed us to bring so much good and benefit to not only our own citizens but also to the rest of the world. The very ideals upon which this country was founded were based on biblical truths, no matter how some try to rewrite history to deny that very fact today. This is why our hearts are so broken over how You continue to be marginalized and dismissed by both our people and our institutions. We are also saddened by the fact that Your people have contributed greatly to the spiritual apathy that now engulfs us. Our satisfaction in remaining religious without being fully committed to living out the truths of Your Word has caused us to become co-conspirators with the forces of evil that are destroying us as a society. It is for this reason that we personally and collectively repent of our carnality and recommit ourselves to becoming visible and verbal disciples of Continued on Page 21 www.imcnews.org Idaho Cowboy Churches Fill Ministry Void by Karen L. Willoughby, Baptist Press, bpnews.net: Thursday - January 5, 2016 Pictured above: Idaho cowboy church planter and pastor David Kite baptizes a new believer in a horse trough. Submitted photo. POCATELLO, Idaho (BP) -- A rancher in eastern Idaho spends two months each spring living in his rustic calving barn. He “calfnaps” when he can, since he’s awake at least every two hours 24/7, checking on the birthing process, helping when needed. He doesn’t like to miss church, though, so perhaps that’s why he may choose to wear the same jeans, boots, shirt, vest and hat he wore while helping a mama cow or her calf, with vestiges of his work smeared, splattered and stained in various places on his attire. “He couldn’t do that in a traditional church, but nobody in a cowboy church thinks anything of it,” said David Kite, who pastors two churches in eastern Idaho and has planted two others there. “The cowboy church movement is getting strong,” Kite said. “It’s meeting a need for people not comfortable in a traditional church.” There are similarities as well as differences between these cowboy churches and other traditional Southern Baptist congregations. Among similarities, both support giving to missions through the Cooperative Program, the mechanism Southern Baptist churches use to undergird state, national and international ministries and missions. “We believe in the Cooperative Program,” Kite said. “The Cooperative Program is everywhere; it’s in rural areas and big cities. I don’t know of any other vehicle doing a better job in getting the Gospel out than what we do as Southern Baptists with the Cooperative Program.” The Cooperative Program helps support Kite who, with his wife Sue, travels up to 1,200 miles a week in their pickup to minister at the four Idaho churches: Christ Cowboy Country Church (4C’s) in Blackfoot, Pocatello Cowboy Church in Pocatello, Cross Bar Cowboy Church in Rigby, and Teton Valley Cowboy Church in Driggs. “Each church has its own personality,” Kite said. “I preach exegetically -- we just finished Colossians -- and I preach the same Scripture, but the Holy Spirit makes each message unique to the needs of that congregation.” The 4C’s and the Pocatello churches were started two years and one year, respectively, before the Kites moved in 2012 from his South Carolina pastorate to plant cowboy churches in Idaho. The Kites had already made several mission trips “out West” over the previous five years, but planted the Cross Bar church in 2013 and the Teton Valley church the following year. About 100 people attend services at the 4C’s church, held at 7 p.m. Saturdays in a ranch indoor arena. The church has baptized 87 people under Kite’s pastorate, and several others have made professions of faith, calling Jesus their “trail boss.” The church, the oldest and largest of the four Kite pastors, gives half or more of its offerings to missions and ministries. The Pocatello church, which meets at 6 p.m. Sundays also in a ranch indoor arena, has grown over the last three years to an average attendance of more than 40 each week. The church has baptized 50 people in four years, and began this year supporting the Cooperative Program. www.imcnews.org Cross Bar church averages 45 in 2 p.m. Sunday worship in a fairgrounds building. Under Kite’s leadership, the church since its inception has given 10 percent to missions through the Cooperative Program. Attendance at the Teton Valley church is sometimes as high as 35 during the congregation’s 7 p.m. Monday worship service; but had been as low as four, three or even one when the church was first planted. The meeting place is a log-sided building on the main highway leading into Driggs. At about 100 miles from the Kites’ home in Blackfoot, Driggs is the furthest distance the couple travels each week. Unlike most traditional churches, cowboy churches -- at least the ones he leads -- are “simple churches,” Kite said. A leadership team serves as the core group, assisting the pastor in making decisions regarding ministries and missions. “We’re just not big on owning property,” Kite said. “Not owning a building is real freeing. We don’t have to worry about upkeep -- maintenance, painting, putting on a new roof. We spend our offerings on missions and ministries.” Outreach efforts have included financial assistance and prayers for an Idaho pastor and family experiencing unexpected medical issues, and financial help for a family whose home flooded. There are also the myriad tasks common to ranchers. “We go where they go and do what they do,” Kite said. “In the same way a pastor in a traditional church might play golf with his parishioners or go to their kid’s soccer game to build relationships, my wife and I get involved in their everyday lives as ranchers and farmers, [including] riding horses, cattle drives, brandings, rodeos and more.” The Pocatello church has two young couples, ranch managers with small children, who drive 80 miles one way to attend services, including the five miles of gravel road from their home to a paved, twolane highway. “They need a church closer to them, but the problem is that we have a shortage of pastors willing to serve in the remote areas of the West,” Kite said. “Barring a miracle from God, most of the churches out here [rural Idaho] won’t ever grow to more than 100 people.” About 2,500 people live on one 40-mile stretch of road he regularly travels, Kite said. “There’s no evangelical church along that stretch. These people Photo above: In Idaho cowboy country, a rodeo opens with prayer. Submitted photo. need the Gospel just as much as anyone else; that’s why we do what we do.” The Kites do more than just plant and lead churches. Both are involved in community activities to build relationships and share the Gospel. He delivers sermons at Saturday rodeos and at Christian Timed Event Clinics that have led to confessions of faith. The Kites are also involved in hosting two weeklong Rodeo Bible Camps each summer in Downey, Idaho, and Wells, Nev., and have been asked to start a third in Wyoming. Many members of their churches assist as cooks, counselors and clinicians, and provide scholarships to cover the $100 tuition for youth who can’t afford to pay. “In everything we do, we look to see God’s footprint and then step in it,” Kite said. “And He takes another step, and we step in it....” Their goal since arriving in Idaho has been “To get the Gospel just a little further down the trail,” Kite said. Sometimes the trails are long and even lonely, but “that’s why we came.” Karen L. Willoughby is a national correspondent for Baptist Press.

InterMountain Christian News /3-4.2016 - 3 Standing Together Update Lehi, Utah Eric Stiller, a Crucial Part of CNNW’s Outreach for 22 Years, Dies at 65 February 11, 2016 Greetings from the Capitol Building of Atlanta, Georgia for Yesterday’s Decision America Prayer Rally with Franklin Graham! Pictured above: In 2003, Ad Director Eric Stiller (left) and Publisher John Fortmeyer outside CNNW’s office then in downtoan Newberg, OR. Their teamwork on the newspaper lasted 22 years, until Stiller’s unexpected death last month. In Greg’s continued role as Field Rep for the Decision America Tour Prayer Rally with Franklin Graham, Greg was asked to go to Atlanta to experience firsthand this ongoing event, to be better prepared for this Rally coming to Utah on March 29th. This is a non-political call to pray for our nation, recognizing that our hope is not in the Republican or Democratic parties but in America turning back to Him. Franklin Graham is asking each state to pray, to get involved, to vote and to consider running for office. Greg considered this to be an amazing experience to be among 6,800 other individuals praying for Georgia and our nation as a whole. He is hopeful for a great response to Franklin’s visit to Utah in March! Our goal is to have 100 churches participate and promote this historic event. Currently, we have 55 churches partnering, would you pray with us that 45 more will join us?

He was 65. Stiller’s body was found in the living room of his Jantzen Beach home by one of his two adult sons on the evening of Jan. 4. The medical examiner determined his death was from unspecified natural causes. “Eric’s passing is an absolute shock,” said CNNW Publisher John Fortmeyer. “Over the past 22 years of working together, we had become closer than brothers. He was one of the most loving, positive people I have ever known, and words cannot describe how much he is already missed.” Joining the newspaper operation as an advertising salesperson upon only its third monthly edition in August 1994, Stiller was later named ad director and also eventually joined the newspaper’s governing board. “Eric’s role was so pivotal that if not for him, Christian News Northwest might never have survived its initial challenges,” said Fortmeyer. “It’s largely because of his belief in the mission of our Christian newspaper that we are still here today.” A Pennsylvania native, Stiller moved with his family to Portland as a teenager. Prior to joining CNNW he worked for years as a manager for both Denny’s and Sizzler restaurants in the Portland area. Dedicating his life to Christ in his 40s, he felt called to leave the restaurant industry and apply his business background to the ministry. Stiller was widely known for his friendly and encouraging manner, and he delighted not only in ad work but assisting in all aspects of CNNW’s operation. When the Great Recession of 2008 hit the newspaper industry hard nationally and forced budget cutbacks for CNNW, Stiller took on additional employment as a bus driver for Portland Public Schools. Stiller was a longtime active member of Hayden Island Community Church. He is survived by sons Cody and Ben; a sister, and his parents, all living locally. Public memorial service is 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 20 in Johnson Chapel at Western Seminary, 5511 S.E. Hawthorne Blvd., Portland. His family also hosted an informal memorial gathering in Tualatin on Jan. 10 and the Hayden Island church devoted much of its weekly service on Jan. 11 to memories of Stiller. A loving brother we will never forget. By John Fortmeyer, Christian News Northwest publisher Each month this spot in our Opinion section is normally devoted to one of the many current topics of concern to our evangelical Christian community. Not this time. 4 - 3-4.2016 / InterMountain Christian News This is by no means a normal month at Christian News Northwest. It is not a normal month for me. And I can’t help but share here some very personal thoughts with our readers. Twenty-two years ago, I met someone who was a bit crazy. He was crazy enough to think that a print voice for the evangelical Christian community in our part of the Northwest was not only needed, but also that it could actually succeed and grow. In other words, he was as crazy as yours truly. Plus, he was full of deep, deep faith. He also was great fun. And enthusiastic. And a huge encouragement to everyone who crossed his path. But this month, for the first time since he joined CNNW’s staff way back in 1994, this newspaper has gone to press without Eric Stiller’s involvement. We remain shocked that our dear friend and brother died unexpectedly Jan. 4 at age 65. (See story on Page 1) The gap in our operation is immense — for our newspaper business, of course, but far more for myself and others involved in CNNW simply because of the loss of someone we all loved so deeply. As I have told many people since then, I feel like I have lost my right arm. Eric was closer than a brother to me. Almost daily we laughed together, cried together, prayed together and saw God work so many miracles over the years — not only regarding the newspaper but also our personal lives. He was truly one of the most loving, most encouraging people I have ever known. Eric joined our newspaper in only its third month as our ad salesman, and we eventually named him ad director. For the past several years he also has been on our board of directors. From our perspective, it was absolutely a “God thing” that Eric ever got involved in Christian News Northwest. Lloyd Mackey, a Christian newspaperman from Canada who had founded a similar publication in Vancouver, B.C., came down to Oregon for two months in 1994 and helped us get our newspaper off the ground. But Lloyd’s help could only be shortterm, and we desperately needed someone to pursue the advertising sales for our fledgling operation. While in Portland, Lloyd went to eat at a Sizzler restaurant and started chatting with Eric, who was managing the eatery, about our new project. Captivated by what Lloyd told him, Eric totally on great faith quit his restaurant job and joined our staff. It wasn’t easy for him — at the time he was a single father of two little boys and facing many financial and other pressures — but he never regretted making that leap. And it was indeed very much a leap for him as a new believer in Christ, but he said his calling to this work was unmistakable. So he stuck with it. And he was honestly as excited as a little kid when, month by month, the region’s Christian community increasingly responded to our efforts, and the newspaper grew steadily. Furthermore, as a highly interested follower of daily current events, Eric felt privileged to be part of an effort that shared a Christ-centered perspective on the news. Eric also had a perfect personality to do ad sales. He was not only outgoing, but he also always took the time to sincerely listen to the prospective advertiser, discerning their needs and often praying with them. There was nothing pretentious about Eric — what you saw was genuine. He lived a simple, humble and devout life of service to Christ and to his fellow man. And no one was quicker than Eric to give a brotherly hug that just couldn’t be disregarded because it was coming from such a big heart inside a big man.

VP Biden: “Don’t Replace Supreme Court in Election Year” “Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said Monday that Vice President Joe Biden understands deep down why Republicans are reluctant to confirm a Supreme Court nominee during President Obama’s final year,” reports The Hill. “If the president of the United States insists on submitting a nominee under these circumstances, Senator Biden...knows what the Senate should do,” Grassley said. “And, I believe, in his heart of Pictured above: Vice hearts, he understands President Joe Biden why it must.” Colorado Springs, Colorado “He suggested that senators would at least privately have the vice president’s understanding because of the ‘Biden Rules,’ though he said he expects Biden to publicly back Obama’s nominee. “Under the rules, according to Grassley, during a presidential election year the president should consider refraining from naming a Supreme Court nominee until after the election, and the Judiciary Committee should seriously consider not giving hearings until after the election. “Grassley’s remarks come after a video circulated online Monday of Biden giving a speech on the Senate floor in 1992. Then a senator he said that thenPresident George H.W. Bush should wait until after the election to fill a hypothetical vacant Supreme Court seat.” [Dr. Chaps’ comment: Biden knows why Obama can never replace Justice Scalia, and he admitted in 1992 that NO SUPREME COURT NOMINEE SHOULD BE CONFIRMED IN AN ELECTION YEAR. It’s their own fault if they complain now. Only the next President should nominate and receive a Senate vote, according to Biden himself.] Justice Scalia has died. Jeh Johnson must NOT replace him. The most conservative Supreme Court Justice of our generation, Antonin Scalia has died peacefully in his sleep after an enjoyable day hunting near his Texas ranch. President Obama did not wait a day before promising he will rush to name a replacement: “I plan to fulfill my constitutional responsibility to Pictured above: Supreme nomination a successor Court Justice Antonin Scalia in due time,” and he expects quick Senate confirmation.

But we know that when people want to work as a team, as a group, as a people that know that in Continued on Page 17 www.imcnews.org Intermountain Rescue Mission Testimonies COLORADO From Denver Rescue Mission Nick It was late in the evening on February 26, 2002. The cold rain threatened of snow, but Nick didn’t go to a shelter. Instead, he went to a local bar. He wasn’t allowed to bring his bags and sleeping gear inside the bar, so he left them outside. But when he came back out, all his belongings were gone. Friends offered to let him sleep on their floor that night, but blinded by anger and addiction, he went to a liquor store instead. In a nearby park, he found a dry piece of plywood he could use as a blanket. “When you’re homeless,” Nick explains, “you have to take care of your feet and let them air out at night, or else you can get lesions and foot diseases.” That night, he took off his shoes so his feet could rest and dry. With nothing but his coat and the thin piece of plywood for a blanket, he fell asleep on the cold ground. Sometime in the middle of the night, he stuck his legs out from under the plywood while he was sleeping. The rain turned to snow, and the temperature dropped to eight degrees by morning. When he woke up, his feet were swollen twice their normal size. The pain was excruciating, but instead of calling an ambulance, he went back to the liquor store and bought more alcohol. Whenever the pain became too much to handle, he drank more. Between the alcohol and the pain, Nick blacked out for most of the day. “I don’t remember everything, but I do remember the pain,” he says, “It was horrible. I could literally hear my feet cracking when I walked because they were frozen.” He knew of the dangers of cold weather firsthand. Just a year before, a homeless friend had frozen to death on the street. But despite the obvious signs, Nick was in complete denial about what was happening. The pain finally became so intense he collapsed at a bus station and called an ambulance. In the end, Nick lost most of his left leg and half of his right foot to frostbite, but it wasn’t enough to slow his addictions. He used his disability benefits to finance his partying and drug abuse. Within a year, he was broke and back on the street. “It was just insane,” he says. “I knew it had to stop.” At a detox center, he called Denver Rescue Mission asking if he could join the New Life Program. “You would think that losing a couple limbs would be enough,” he says, “but that’s not the nature of addiction. It will kill you if you don’t find someone to help you, and that’s what I found at the Mission.” His chaplain, John, became a great influence in his life and encouraged him to take the counseling he needed to work through the personal, spiritual and social issues that fueled his addictions. Nick says he can’t imagine how hard it was for the staff at the Mission to look at him and see hope, but they did. And their encouragement inspired him to do the same and give back after graduating the New Life Program in 2010. “I’m so thankful for my new relationship with Jesus and the help I received at the Mission,” he says. “Though my addiction will always be a part of who I am, God is using it now to help others through me.” Today, Nick works at Colorado Coalition for the Homeless as a Peer Wellness Navigator in their Path program, and in the spring, he’ll become www.imcnews.org a Peer Specialist. He helps people experiencing homelessness in a wide variety of ways, but for him, his job description is pretty simple. “That’s my job, to give people hope,” he says. “I try to share everything I learned at the Mission as best I can.” During these freezing winter months, the Mission provides emergency shelter from the cold, warm meals to the hungry and hope to those experiencing homelessness in our community. And like Nick, they have the opportunity to step out of the cold reality of their hurts, hang-ups and heartaches and into the hope and encouragement offered in our life-changing programs. But it’s only possible because of your support. Thank you for helping us keep our homeless neighbors warm and safe from the dangers of the cold, but more than that, thank you for helping us change lives and give hope to people like Nick today. - See more at: www.denverrescuemission.org/ story/thomas-and-denise#sthash.TvM0Tgsr.dpuf For more information: Denver Rescue Mission 6100 Smith Road, Denver, CO 80216 Phone: 303.297.1815 Email: [email protected] Website: www.DenverRescueMission.org Follow us at www.twitter.com/denverrescue or at Facebook.com/DenverRescue. UTAH From Rescue Mission of Salt Lake Dillon My name is Dillon Newman and I am 28 years old. It might sound strange, but, if I am being totally honest, I have spent more days of my life high than I have sober. That’s why I’m so happy to share that for most of the past year I have been stone cold sober and have loved it. A Brand New Life So many amazing things have happened to me since I came to the Rescue Mission in April, it’s hard to know where to begin. First and foremost, I now believe in God and His Son, Jesus. Before I came to the Rescue Mission, I sort of believed that God existed and I knew a little about who Jesus was, but I had never followed Him. Still, I had this gnawing feeling that God wanted me to come to the Rescue Mission. I really felt like it was the only way I could turn my life around. When I came to the Rescue Mission, I was broken and ashamed. I had spent the last three years in a homeless shelter or in jail. My family had cut ties with me because of my drug-fueled life. It was fair to say I was at rock bottom. At the Mission, however, I started learning about God. I went to Bible studies and heard sermons at the nightly chapel services. One chapel preacher really made sense to me. I went and talked to him after the service and I think it was then that I really started believing in God and Jesus. I wasn’t raised in a family that went to church. Although my family seemed to believe in God, there wasn’t much religion in my home. But as I built a relationship with God at the Mission, my mind seemed to grow clearer and I gained a strength to stay sober that I hadn’t had before. As I stayed sober, my whole personality started changing. I was becoming myself again, instead of the shell of a person I had become from years of meth use. And as I began to change, my relationships changed too. When I came to the Mission, my entire family had pretty much cut ties with me. I had stolen from them and had broken one too many promises, so that they no longer trusted me. But as the new, sober me developed, I found my family was willing to engage with me and even forgive me. Brand New Relationships My father, for instance, started believing in God about five years ago. He is a former addict, too, and for the last five years has been attending the Salvation Army Church downtown. As I stayed sober, I was able to start going to church with him. Now we go together every week. I get to hang out with him and I feel like we have a real father-son relationship, which we never really had after he and my mom got divorced. My relationships with my sister, mom and grandparents, who have always tried to help me, are also repaired. I can visit my grandparents and talk with my sister and my mom any time I want. I even connect with my brother from time to time. He has been homeless for four years and is an addict. When I see him on the streets I tell him, “Hey, if you ever want to get back up on your feet, come join the Mission’s New Life Program; it will help you.” Besides my restored relationships, I have a good job working at a nice downtown restaurant. I am saving up money so I can get my own place when I am ready to graduate from the New Life Program in a few months. I feel successful, happy and blessed by God. Today, my life is nothing like it was when I was a drug user. Divorce and Drug Abuse If I had to point to one thing that made me start using drugs, it would probably be my parents’ divorce. I know a lot of kids go through divorces, but my parent’s divorce destroyed me. To this day, I am not sure why they divorced. I know they fought a lot but, as a sixth grader, I really couldn’t understand why they would want to split up. My father left our home and my mom tried to raise us. I was the oldest and, still in sixth grade, I was pretty upset about it. I decided to start smoking cigarettes, marijuana and eventually meth, all while in sixth grade. By seventh grade, I came to school high on meth almost every day. I got kicked out of two high schools and bounced around between several others as we moved around the Sandy area of the Salt Lake Valley. My mom would try to make it and take care of us kids, but then we would struggle to make ends meet and would have to move in with our grandparents until my mom could save up enough money for us to move out on our own again. I finally dropped out of high school during my senior year. I was literally using meth every day. I lived off my mom for a few years before I started working at fast-food or retail jobs. Eventually, my meth addiction became so bad that I really had no desire to work. I shoplifted or ripped people off to get money for drugs. I lived with family members for a while, but they all eventually grew tired of my laziness and drug abuse. The last straw was when my dad kicked me out of his place. I had burned all my other bridges: with my mom, my sister and my grandparents. Living on the Streets So I was officially homeless for the first time in the spring of 2013. When it was warm enough, I stayed outside, but mostly I stayed at the public housing shelter. I cried throughout the first night I spent at the shelter. It was crazy there. Guys would allow their girlfriends to have sex with other men in exchange for drugs. People would shoot up heroin right there in the open. It is demoralizing to live in a public shelter Continued on Page 18 InterMountain Christian News / 3-4.2016 - 7 Letter to the Editor Obama promised change, and Christians helped elect him twice. Will Christians do the same with an unrepentant adulterer this year? Many evangelicals are enthralled with Donald Trump. He says good-sounding things people want to hear just as Castro did in Cuba and Obama did here. What is ignored—not checked—is his character. John Jay, the first Supreme Court Chief Justice, said, “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.” Today many Christians are more concerned with money than with morality. Trump is no Christian. In 1999 he said he was “very pro-choice” and supported partial-birth abortion. No true Christian can support killing babies. “As late as 2000, he wrote that he was prochoice. But in 2011, he said he was pro-life.” In 2011 Trump claimed to be Presbyterian, but in 1977 his church said he was not an active member. He goes to church “when I can.” “Always on Christmas. Always on Easter. Always when there’s a major occasion,” Trump said in 2012. “The church he claims to attend says they don’t remember seeing him in a long time, or ever.” At a Family Leadership Summit in Iowa the moderator asked him if he had ever sought the Lord’s pardon for anything, Trump replied: “I am not sure I have. … I don’t bring God into that picture.” Trump is pleased his daughter converted to Judaism. Trump has been known as a womanizer. He committed adultery on Ivana (with Marla) leading her to divorce him in 1992. On December 21, 1993, Trump married Marla two months after Tiffany was born. He divorced Marla in 1999. In the years following, he was rumored to have been hooking up with a slew of younger women; until he finally settled down in 2005 with model Melania Knauss. Trump’s speech announcing he was running for the Republican nomination for president contained a number of false and misleading statements on the economy, trade, health care and terrorism. Was he lying for political expediency or was he guessing at the facts? In the debate 2/25, Trump said, “the United States is the “highest taxed country in the world,” a blatantly false claim. Trump is a bully suing to get what he wants, even using “eminent domain” against cities and individuals. He “has sued people, businesses and entire cities and countries…a newspaper,… a Native American tribe,” and more. In public speeches he has used the “F-bomb.” Politically he is unstable. He identified as a Democrat until 1987 and then changed parties several times. In 2004, he told CNN that he simply didn’t see himself as a Republican. “In many cases, Continued on Page 18 B I B L E C R O S S W O RD MARCH/APRIL 2016 Used by Permission.

Front row (left to right): Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia †, John Roberts (Chief), Anthony Kennedy, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Back row (left to right): Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen G. Breyer, Samuel A. Alito, Elena Kagan. Photo: Public Domain RINOTRACKER RESPONSE FROM CHRIS ADAMO, Wheatland, Wyoming: Rather than merely reacting to the tragic death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and the potentially disastrous consequences his untimely departure may portend for America, it is crucially important to assess how we got to such a detestable place. Only in this manner can we hope to properly navigate our way back to sanity and any assurance of the preservation of America. Many conservatives are rightly expressing their alarm at the prospect that a single new Obama www.imcnews.org appointee on the court would most assuredly spell doom for the Constitution, and thus for the nation. But this appalling circumstance did not occur overnight. In conjunction with the relentless Democrat assault on traditional America that has ensued over the past several decades, a long chain of Republican betrayals and shameless pragmatism ultimately rendered the Democrat onslaught effective. In far too many cases, the elitism and cronyism of Capitol Hill has supplanted honesty and the constitutional bedrock of the nation. Consequently, safeguards against abuses and tyranny, instituted by the founders in their wisdom and foresight, have been dangerously eroded. The modern “Ruling Class” finds it easy to offer empty, self-serving platitudes in lieu of worthy governing principles. And all too often, such indefensible behavior goes unquestioned, either by elected officials or even “conservative” talking heads. Now, with no wiggle room left, America is forced to reckon with the possibility that the placement of a single individual on the High Court could make or break its future. This was not how our great nation was ever intended to operate. Consider the current makeup of the court and the total dereliction of congressional oversight it represents. In each ensuing case heard by the court, analysts ponder how the five Republican appointees will weigh the merits. And their final decisions are never guaranteed one way or the other. Yet in any and every case involving a left/right political question, nobody doubts for a single moment that all four of the Clinton/Obama appointees will always take the liberal position. Such an unbroken track record renders them not “jurists,” and certainly not defenders of the Constitution, but unscrupulous and dangerously empowered political hacks. In truth, the GOP has been in a position to prevent such desecration of our constitutional government. However, for purely self-serving political reasons, it has too often refused to do so. The original intent of the Senate confirmation process was as an indispensable component of the “Rock, Paper, Scissors” structure of government that would ensure no single branch could ever achieve uncontested power. From this perspective, no justice should ever be allowed to ascend to the high court without a proven track record of loyalty to the nation and its founding ideals. Unfortunately, such noble principle was eventually supplanted by shallow platitudes that virtually guarantee a total corruption of the court. In recent decades Republicans, seeking to avoid controversy and media backlash, have ignored nominees’ prior episodes of flagrantly extraconstitutional adjudicating or the total lack of evidence of actual fidelity to the Constitution, and focused instead on legal credentials. Thus, the Continued on Page 21 InterMountain Christian News / 3-4.2016 - 9 Vision Beyond Borders Update Casper, Wyoming Friday - February 16, 2016 Greetings in Christ Jesus! Burmese Refugee Camps: As a result of the positive changes in Burma due to the elections, Thailand has discussed sending all the refugees back to Burma in 2017. There are currently five refugee camps located on the Thai/Burma border, which hold over 100,000 people altogether. Despite these positive changes, the Free Burma Rangers ministry reports that attacks have increased since the elections, and 10,000 more people were displaced in Burma within the past two months. Our contact who works with the refugees has purchased a piece of land inside Burma, located in a peaceful area that has not experienced the war prevalent in other parts of the country. Our contact plans to build a children’s home on the land and move one of the children’s homes to this location in March 2016 in order to avoid the mass exodus. The children are incredibly scared about the move, considering many of them lost their parents and other family members in their flight from the country. Please pray God would show Himself mighty, being a stronghold and refuge on behalf of these people who have endured so much! Pray His peace and comfort would reign in their hearts despite these circumstances and that the Gospel would go forth in their midst. Pray the positive changes in Burma would lead to a decrease in persecution and a longawaited peace.

Updates from the Field: 10 - 3-4.2016 / InterMountain Christian News www.imcnews.org Zero Tolerance for Arab War Education by David Bedein - Jerusalem, Israel Israel Resource News Agency and Center for Near East Policy Research Dear Friend of the Center for Near East Policy Research, Our agency has followed The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) implementation of Palestinian Authority (PA) war education curriculum for the past 16 years, in terms of what goes on in the classroom, the school yard, and the teachers who hail from terrorist organizations with their newest school books. This year, our agency filmed pupils from UNRWA schools in Jerusalem for our newest film. The students proclaim - on camera - that they learn in UNRWA schools to kill Jews. In that context, we purchased and commissioned translations of all new PA schoolbooks now in use by UNRWA, following reassurances from the US government that new PA schoolbooks would represent values of tolerance, peace and reconciliation. Yet we expose that new UNRWA schoolbooks convey the opposite. We seek sponsors to help us bring experts to update staffers and members of the U.S. Congress, Canadian Parliament, British Parliament, Australian Parliament and the European Parliament, so that the donor nations will know the current state of affairs in UNRWA. At these sessions, our experts will screen our new film and share translations of the new UNRWA books. There is one purpose: Shock donors into placing stringent conditions on funds to UNRWA and the PA. israelbehindthenews.com/the-unrwa-reforminitiative/ Even the greatest western critics of Israel would not fund a genocide curriculum.

At a time of deadlock in political negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, the U.S., which donates $400 million to UNRWA each year- 33% of the UNRWA budget, can use its leverage to find a solution to the humanitarian plight of the five million of descendants of the refugees from the 1948 war who still wallow in and around UNRWA facilities. Instead of simply throwing money at UNRWA, the U.S. could assert its leadership amongst donor nations to advance UNRWA policies that could improve living conditions of UNRWA refugee residents. The U.S. could offer a realistic humanitarian alternative to the current “refugee status in perpetuity” which fosters a “right of return” mantra that UNRWA currently drums into the minds of half a million UNRWA students. In that context, the U.S. could address six policy challenges, which could guide a new way of thinking in U.S. – UNRWA policy reform. 1. The U.S. could work with all donor nations to ask for an audit of donor funds that flow to UNRWA. This would address widespread documented reports of wasted resources, duplicity of services and the undesired flow of cash to Gaza-based terror groups, which gained control over UNRWA operations in Gaza over the past 18 years. http:// israelbehindthenews.com/unrwa-gaza-terroristorganizations-cooperative-relationship/11632/ 2. The U.S., as the largest donor to UNRWA, could introduce UNHCR standards to UNRWA, to advance the resettlement of Arab refugees, after 67 years. Current UNRWA policy is that refugee resettlement would interfere with the “right of return” to Arab villages that existed before 1948. http://israelbehindthenews.com/library/pdfs/ UNRWAchartcomparison.pdf 3. The U.S. could ask fellow donor nations to withdraw the new UNRWA curriculum, which incorporate principles of Jihad, martyrdom and an “right of return” by force of arms, in UN schools which are supposed to promote the UNRWA slogan of “Peace Starts Here.”http://israelbehindthenews.com/ see-pa-textbook-incitement-for-yourself-funded-bythe-us-taxpayer/14375/ 4. The U.S. could ask for a cessation of paramilitary training in any UNRWA schools. Should UNRWA, as a UN agency, not demonstrate a renewed commitment to UN principles to “peace education”? http://israelbehindthenews.com/israel-and-jews-inthe-newest-palestinian-authority-pa-schoolbookstaught-in-pa-and-unrwa-schools-de-legitimizationdemonization-advocacy-of-violent-struggle-ratherthan-peace-of-jihad-martyrdo/14346/ 5. This would be an opportune time for the U.S. to work with all donor nations to insist that UNRWA dismiss employees who are affiliated with Hamas, in accordance with laws on the books in U.S. which forbid aid to any agency that employs members of a terrorist organization. http://israelbehindthenews. com/israel-and-jews-in-the-newest-palestinianauthority-pa-schoolbooks-taught-in-pa-and-unrwaschools-de-legitimization-demonization-advocacyof-violent-struggle-rather-than-peace-of-jihadmartyrdo/14346/ andhttp://israelbehindthenews. com/library/pdfs/UNRWA-SCHOOLS-IN-GAZA. pdf 6. Since UNRWA has recently hired a “youth ambassador” Mohammad Assaf, to travel the world and encourage insurrection and violence, would this not be the appropriate time for the U.S. to work with all donor nations to ask that UNRWA cancel that contract with a harbinger of war: unrwa-monitor. com/articles/israel-resource-review/are-the-lyricsof-the-unrwa-youth-ambassador-not-lethal/ The U.S. has an opportunity to address a pressing humanitarian issue that can be solved.

During childhood I faced mental emotional and sexual abuse, along with neglect. At least when I wasn’t in the hospital with any of the first 15 of 17 hip surgeries. Although, due to these things I’d also developed a paranoid obsession about my daughter’s safety. I soon found myself projecting that enormous pressure onto my oldest daughter and causing her severe inadequacy and rage requiring me to give custody to others better equipped to parent her. I learned I was carrying my sixth pregnancy despite a prior thank ligation. Only a week later I was forced to abort the pregnancy as one was in my tube, and days after that I learned the third of the four children I birthed confessed she’d been raped by her step brother. Because the judicial system failed to bring Richfield, Utah justice despite compelling evidence my child father decided I’d concocted the story and that he would come take my child, while unwilling to remove the perpetrator from his home. So though I was only 2 weeks out of a total hip replacement I packed my car and left the state as soon as my step grandfather’s funeral ended. I sent a message to my father, but decided he didn’t care for my children as he hadn’t cared for my childhood. The further I drove the better I felt, until we were found at a hotel. The same fearful paranoia sent me into a spiral and I began traveling across the USA, depending upon the kindness of strangers and what I thought to be my own instincts for survival. Finally after nearly five months of homelessness I began settling into a new life in Arkansas. Then I received an answer to my message, hearing my dad’s voice on the phone ask to pick us up reminded me of all the dreams I had growing up of him showing up barging in, and rescuing me. At the thought of this long awaited dream coming true my anger toward him dissipated and I graciously accepted his invitation. While waiting for the weekend to come to be picked up I was suddenly surrounded with many faithful Christians. They told me about a Jesus that was entirely different than what I was taught in my LDS upbringing. How Jesus had worked out the details of their situations and brought healing to their lives. I began to wonder if He’d used my abuse to motivate me to teach my daughter to talk if she was hurt. I considered the differences in doctrine and the idea that I being the girl that was only wanted for sex or a rock to kick could actually be loved and have purpose. I began to see how my parents had both done what they thought best. Still I had no clue what I was signing up for when I told my dad that Jesus died for me too, even with my immediate inability to curse that felt entirely odd. As my dad and his preacher best friend began to disciple me while I received my lifelong dream of Christmas and Thanksgiving with my father, I noticed how everything I’d accredited to instinct was Jesus’ protection guidance and provision. I picked out numerous divine appointments I’d previously thought I sought to provide for my children. Every detail He had worked out from which turns to take, to shushing people who witnessed me steal food, shoes, and other various supplies. Therefore I had no reason to distrust Jesus, and far too much appreciation and Continued on Page 16 12 - 3-4.2016 / InterMountain Christian News www.imcnews.org Patriot Academy, Not Your Average Summer Camp As told to IMCNews Over the last few months, America has been inundated with the buzz the Presidential Election, the horrific finding of the underhand dealings of Planned Parenthood, and many more intense issues.

Miraculous Salvation Continued from Page 12 respect to disobey Him when He said it was time to return and face what I’d left behind. He gave my dad the means to replace the vehicle I’d lost along my travels, and the money for my return. The afternoon after I got home and checked into the shelter I was notified via public notification of a custody case that would have not only put my daughter back with her abuser, but left me with little supervised visitation. Two weeks more of homelessness was all God needed to provide me with an apartment, and everything I’d lost, and to upgrade some of my furniture. Though all court petitions have defaulted on my favor we’ve been able to work out an agreeable arrangement. I’ll never tell you that facing the demons of my past has been easy, but in the loving merciful joys of Christ I’ve offered forgiveness to my abusers and my children’s abusers as well as defeating alcohol, marijuana, tobacco, pain killers, severe social anxiety, major depressive disorder, rage, self sabotage and loathing, and sex addiction. I’ll never be perfect, but I carry the perfected righteousness of the only begotten Son of God, the father who rescued me from hell on earth and hell itself. Jesus Christ fulfilled the law and endured the unsurvivable to redeem all from the choices made in the free will He offered us, even knowing He would suffer so immensely for it, because He is the perfected example of love. Thanks and glory be to Christ Jesus.

So the questions and the issues we are sitting together and finding at least a dialog, not a solution but a dialog to bring it to today’s Israeli Society to try and start a discussion at least. With this understanding we are running our party. Are your people familiar with what is going on here? Dr. A Harper: Oh, yes. Dr. A Lavie: better future. We need to focus and wish to have a Dr. A Harper: Yes, we want Israel to have a better future. We want to get the truth out about Israel Dr. Lavie: You know I have mentioned to you before there is Franklin Graham, he is the Son of Billy Graham here in the U.S. He’s on a 50 State tour in the U.S. He is quoting the scripture from the Old Testament, 2 Chronicles 7:14. And he believes and a lot of Christian Leaders believe there is a solution to terrorism that we are experiencing in Israel and the U.S. found in this scripture. Have you heard of that before? Dr. A Lavie: Terror is not the way to have a future. Dr. A Harper:No. Dr. A Lavie: People who choose to use terror are a people not looking for a dialog. Terrorist is what we have to deal with every day since Israel was established and before Israel was established. Many people don’t want to have Israel as a State, a Jewish State, and a democratic Jewish State. They use in different ways terror. Terror is not the way to continue. We are very worried about it. Thank God we have our strong army and all our children are going into the army. Everyone has their turn. Now my son is in the army, I was in the army, my father was in the army and I know that my granddaughters will be in the army because this is a must here in Israel. Because of our enemies and unfortunately we don’t have a dialog with our neighbors. Dr. A Harper: It is very terrible and many people are praying Dr. Lavie for Israel. There are many Christians in America, that love Israel, and are praying for you and all the leadership in Israel. Franklin Graham is on this tour calling for Christians to pray in America for prayer and repentance. He believes that there is a solution if our heart is right; honoring the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. There have been issues also Dr. Lavie with some Arab Knesset Members visiting the families of terrorists. What is your opinion on that? What do you think about that? Dr. A Lavie: Oh, I will tell you right now our fathers are from Ancient Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We have the three fathers and the four mothers and every Jew pray at least once a day. As a Jew we pray three times a day and we pray for peace and we are asking for peace. And you mentioned the three Arabs Members that went to meet the families that murder people. That chooses to use terror and kill our people. More than that they stood for their memories and they spoke about these people as a hero. Unfortunately they spoke about them as role models. Think about it, what it means. The people watch TV and when they saw these members of the Knesset meeting with these families. So this is the next terrorist attack. The next girl or boy they take a knife and go out to a train in the middle of Jerusalem and find a way to use the knife and make another terror attack. We can’t accept behavior like this. We gave them a punishment and two of them www.imcnews.org have come to the Parliament and vote in forth coming vote in four months and there is another vote in two months. There is another issue that is now on the table. Parliament Center Benjamin Netanyahu wants to create a legislation that will use some tools of the Parliament against a member of the Knesset that will behave like this. I don’t agree with legislation against a member of the Knesset even though I don’t agree with their behavior because we are a Jewish State but also a Democratic State. First of all this is a Democratic Parliament and we have to be very careful with legislations like this. We’ll see now when Prime Minister puts his subjects on the table. We will have to think very, very carefully now how to continue with this legislation. Dr. A Harper: Well thank you Dr. Lavie for sharing with our listeners. I know that you have got a busy schedule. Dr. A Lavie:Yeah. Dr. A Harper: Many people continue to pray for you and all of Israel. Dr. A Lavie: Actually, I’m going from here now and I can share with you that in our own religion, as a Jewish people, months after a man or woman dies there is a memorial event. Months ago, Dafna Meir was murdered in front of her six children in her house in Otniel. A 15 year old boy came and killed her with a knife. I was asked by the family to come and speak for her memory. Now I have 30 minutes to go and meet with her family and speak in front of her friends, family and many people that are supposed to attend this event in memory of Dafna.

You have nowhere to go and everywhere you do go, you are not wanted. I know it sounds strange, but once you get that low, it’s hard to recover. People say, “Why don’t you do something to get yourself out of that situation?” But you just have this overwhelming sorrow inside of you and you don’t want to do anything because of where you are. I literally felt like there was nothing I could do, on my own, to change my life. But that’s when God stepped in. God Saves Me I truly believe that God sent two police officers to arrest me early last year. I had been convicted of shoplifting and drug possession, but had ignored my probation requirements and now had a felony warrant out for my arrest. The police came to the public housing shelter, looked over the roster, saw my name, realized I had a felony warrant and promptly took me into custody. It was the best thing that could have happened to me. My arrest got me out of the shelter and, since I was locked up for the next three months, it forced me to be sober. Eventually, my attorney said I could get into the Drug Court program, but I would need to enter a residential treatment center. They gave me a few options and I chose the Rescue Mission, knowing it was a faith-based program. I think it was God tugging at me, telling me what I needed. And it’s true: the New Life Program was exactly what I needed. Looking back, I can see God leading me here, being faithful to me even when I was faithless. I am hoping to start school soon. I think I will have the opportunity to get into a computer technician program that will help me learn how to set up and repair computers and computer systems. In April, I will graduate Drug Court and be off probation. Then, in May, I will graduate from the New Life Program. In the meantime, I am focused on saving money, staying sober and living life with my family. I am so thankful that all the people I have hurt have been willing to forgive me and that they can enjoy the real me, not the meth-addict me. Please pray for me. Pray that God would continue to keep me sober and that I would continue to have a passion to grow my relationship with Him. I thank all of you for supporting the Rescue Mission and giving me a place that could save me from the pit I was in.

During the two decades before 2011 most of his contributions went to Democrats. Democrat recipients of Trump’s donations make up what looks like a Republican enemies list, and “The biggest recipient of all has been the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee of New York, which has taken in more than $125,000 from Trump and his companies. Overall, Trump has given nearly $600,000 to New York state campaigns, with more than two-thirds going to Democrats. Trump is an ego-maniac. “To explain how he will do things that seem implausible — Trump’s answer is usually himself….The heart of Trump-ism…[is] the man’s own sky-high self-confidence.” He attacked Ted Cruz saying members of both parties can often barely hide their disdain Cruz.. Among Republicans it is really only the establishment—the “good-ol’boys”—who have been compromising that don’t like Cruz because he has stood up to the establishment of both parties. Donald Trump attacked Scalia’s decision regarding affirmative action. Most conservatives oppose racial quotas. For another detailed analysis of Trumps actions, beliefs, and personal life, see http://www. faithfamilyamerica.com/matt_walsh. In summary, Trump is a godless egotistical Democrat bully masquerading as a Republican. How can a Christian vote for such a man? Alice Alice heard about CWRM while she was in jail, serving time for charges related to her drug use. Our name and Christian outreach didn’t mean much to her at the time. But after she was released she found herself hanging out with old friends and rekindling her destructive habits—and she no longer wanted to lead that kind of life. When she decided to ask for help, she knew where to turn. She had struggled with health challenges for many years and her drinking and occasional drug use only exacerbated her condition. When she and her husband divorced, her substance abuse turned to addiction and her life spiraled further downhill. She lost her home and stayed with friends, using her disability income to support her growing habit and seldom buying food. As a result she became malnourished. Her decision to come to CWRM not only changed her life, it might have even saved it. In the care of the compassionate staff and counselors at our Women’s Transformation Center, Alice is regaining her health, learning critical life skills and strengthening her relationship with the Lord. “When I try to take over, I don’t steer very well,” she says. “I feel a lot better when God is in control. I’m learning to keep Him in the driver’s seat.” After she completes our Discipleship Program she is looking forward to leading a sober and independent life and being a godly role model for her young grandchildren, whom she loves dearly. Recently she spoke about the transformation she has experienced not only in her own life, but witnessed in others’ lives as well, here at CWRM: “God is here—there’s no question. I’ve seen Him work in so many ways in so many people, it’s a miracle almost every day! Without CWRM, there would be a lot more people on the streets, destitute and searching aimlessly for hope.” For more information on our FREE Discipleship Program, contact us at: Central Wyoming Rescue Mission P O Box 2030 Casper, WY 82602 230 N.

Patriot Academy has a vision to train champions to change the world! Each year they host Academies around the Nation to prepare the next generation for the war of worldviews they will face. At the Academy, students undergo rigorous training at the Idaho Capitol, in Boise and participate in fast paced, realistic mock legislative activities. They conduct House floor sessions, committee meetings, pass good bills and strike down bad bills. They learn the fine art of persuasion and communication, statesmanship and sacrifice. The Foundation of America’s Christian Heritage and the wisdom of our founding fathers are imparted to students and they leave with an understanding of how imperative it is to reclaim that heritage. Encouraged to live a life with no reserves, no retreats, and no regrets, each young person in attendance answers the call and displays insurmountable drive, ingenuity and conviction. These are not apathetic or uninformed American teenagers. These are young men and women of incredible character, conviction, courage, and a clear sense of purpose. Patriot Academy is not your average summer camp. Those in attendance are not there to be entertained, although the Academy is incredibly fun! Students are required to act with character and respect, putting the needs of others before themselves... servant-leadership. Tough issues are not ignored and students tackle immigration, marriage, taxes, religious liberty, sanctity of life, education, healthcare and many more important topics. Patriot Academy encourages students to think critically about proposed legislation using what PA calls the “LIFT” principles. www.imcnews.org Limited Government Individual Liberty Free Enterprise Timeless Truths Pictured above: Elizabeth Harris from Idaho During the week, students campaign for the offices of Governor and Speaker of the House for the 2016 Northwest Regional Patriot Academy. Elizabeth Harris from Idaho (also former Patriot Academy Speaker of the House) was elected as this year’s Governor. Second year student Whitney Taylor from Washington State was elected as this year’s Speaker of the House. These Cabinet members will be promoting the Academy throughout the year as well as staying involved in their communities. Students come from Idaho, Oregon, Washington Colorado, Missouri, and several other states. One of the highlights of the Academy is the graduation ceremony, where local veterans place the Torch of Freedom medals around the students’ necks, symbolizing the act of handing the sacred responsibility of preserving freedom down to the next generation. The students also have an opportunity to sign a copy of the Declaration of Independence if they are ready, like our founders, to pledge their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor for the cause of freedom. This act is taken very seriously, as it should be. For what greater cause is there then that of reclaiming and preserving the God given freedom that our nation has now taken for granted? American youth are getting ready. Reinforcements are on the way. So stand firm, keep fighting!

Patriot Academy is not affiliated with NW Liberty Academy. There has been some confusion on this due to similar names.

Enable us, by Your Spirit, to no longer be secret agent Christians but rather to publicly declare and live out Your truth in a spirit of love so that You feel welcome in our country once again. Thank You for Your promise to hear our prayers when we call to You with hearts of repentance and obedience, which is how we are appealing to You today, Father. On behalf of Your church, we affirm afresh the priority You are to us that You would fill every dimension of our lives as we seek to bring You glory through the advancement of Your kingdom in our personal lives, our family lives, and in the lives of our churches and our government leaders. We confidently invite heaven’s intervention into all the affairs of our nation and we praise You in advance for Your answer. In Jesus’ name we pray... Amen. by Dr. Tony Evans meaningless repetitions of words when we pray. (Mathew 6:7 There is a lot of prayer that never reaches God. “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself” (Luke 18:11). “One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer shall be an abomination.” (Proverbs 28:9). It is outside the scope of this lesson to talk about prayers offered to false gods or to the devil. Also, we will not look at religious prayers or traditional prayers that can be uttered without heart. We will be considering prayers that come from one who has repented of his sins to the best of his knowledge, and who walks by faith. The purpose of salvation is to restore lost people to relationship with God our Father. Through the cross of Jesus, the barriers to that relationship were removed. When we begin to trust God once again and turn from our sin, He comes into our lives to begin a new relationship of love with us. God is in every true Christian (Romans 8:9,10; John 14:23; Revelation 3:20; 2 Corinthians 13:5). Our faith and love towards God will lead us to recognize His presence with us, to talk with Him, to listen to Him, to sense Him. This is prayer. We express our thanks, our faith, our love, our hopes with God in prayer, and we receive from Him answers, assurance, guidance, peace, strength, power, revelation of who He is and what He wants to do. (Matthew 7:7-8; John 16:13; Philippians 4:6-7; Ephesians 1:17,18 The E4 Challenge – Will You Pray for America? Engage in prayer for our nation, equip and encourage yourself and others to take the challenge to Pray for America, and encounter the person and power of God through prayer! He is the One who gave us this promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. As we encounter Him, we will be changed, and will change America through prayer. Are you in?

Box 64225 Colorado Springs, CO 80962 (800) 444-8828 (719) 559-9560 What is Prayer? For true Christians, prayer [Gk: “proseuche”] is communion with God. Through prayer we actually experience relationship with God. The quality of our prayer life then determines the quality of our relationship with God. Prayer is talking with God. Prayer is listening to God. Prayer is enjoying the presence of God. It can take many forms – for example: worship, confession, thanksgiving, praise, petition (asking for things), waiting (silent, listening and sensing of God) and warfare (command). Prayer is not simply saying words. It is not repeating formulas. God is looking for heartfelt relationship. We are told by Jesus not to make RinoTracker Response Continued from Page 9 ability of a nominee to answer difficult questions of “jurisprudence” is accepted as proof of qualification, rather than any serious examination of the nominee’s past track record. Were the history of any Obama or Clinton nominee seriously included in the confirmation process, not a single one of them could be deemed fit to serve on any high federal court. Yet the Republican Establishment has at its disposal another empty platitude by which to dodge this constitutional responsibility. At some point, morally bankrupt and rudderless political players began mouthing the empty platitude that “the president should be allowed his choice of nominees.” In their world, this is what passes for statesmanship. But in truth it embodies every despicable precept of an elitist “Ruling Class.” More ominously still, it undermines an essential check on the power of the presidency to morph the court into an unaccountable cornerstone of metastasizing tyranny. Fortunately, Senator Ted Cruz (R.-TX) has promised to stand in unshakable opposition to the prospect of Barack Obama putting this final nail into the coffin of constitutional government. And given the consistency of Cruz’s past willingness to stand (alone if necessary) against the evil liberal tide, America can be confident that he will keep his word. Of less certainty is whether the Republican Senate majority, which from a purely constitutional perspective has www.imcnews.org the absolute authority to stop Obama’s evil plan dead in its tracks, will rise to the challenge and stand in the gap for America. Phony liberal hysterics and raucous media backlash are absolutely inevitable. The Washington Post is already caterwauling that opposition to an Obama nominee might signal disaster for the GOP in November. And if recent history is any indicator, America can expect a brief token “opposition” effort from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and the Republican Establishment, followed once again by total betrayal. Yet at this juncture, McConnell is to be credited for espousing the right principles. Perhaps it is overly optimistic to hope that he stays the course. On the other hand, if he does remain true to his words of the past few days, and is able to maintain solidarity among Senate Republicans, it would represent a glimmer of the principles which they were elected to uphold.

He has participated in local and state level political campaigns, as well as having written articles for regional and national print publications. For many years, he wrote a popular weekly column that appeared throughout the Internet. During the course of his political involvement, he came to the realization that liberalism is alive and well inside of the GOP. And it is there that it must be overcome if conservatism and the principles of America’s founding are to prevail in modern politics. It was for this reason that he and Chip McLean established Rinotracker.us. E-mail Christopher G.

A memorial service for Eric will be held Feb. 20 in Portland, and I am expecting those attending will share many wonderful stories about the impact he had on them. My guess is that there probably aren’t newspapers in Heaven as we know them. I have a hunch that other forms of communication probably are utilized there. But if there are newspapers, or anything resembling them, I have no doubt that Eric will be the first to jump right in and go to work spreading the word on what exciting things are going on in the heavenly realm. And he will make the Northwest corner of Heaven his base of operations, of course. Eric, we miss you very much, our dear friend, but we are happy for where you are now. Give those big hugs to everyone there. Meanwhile, we are getting back to work here at Christian News Northwest — I know that’s exactly what you would want us to do. By Dr. Anthony Harper, InterMountain Christian News publisher My Reflections on my time with Eric Stiller I remember meeting Eric along with John Fortmeyer the first time in Newberg, Oregon of 2002 when Treasure Valley Christian News (d.b.a. IMCNews) was just starting out. It was a blessing to be with Eric on several occasions over the years. Eric was such an inspirational individual and had a great testimony. We had some great food and fellowship together! Saturday February 20, I attended Erick’s memorial service in Portland, Oregon in the Western Seminary Chapel. I miss you Eric.

In this signed memo JEH JOHNSON FORCED MILITARY CHAPLAINS TO OPEN THEIR CHAPELS TO HOMOSE XUAL “WEDDING” CEREMONIES. He did it without Congressional approval, legislating from the Pentagon, and you think he won’t legislate from the Bench? Wrong answer.

Those who attend will still need to dress warmly as well as bring a blanket to sit on and wrap around them. she sold her entire farm holdings to Charles and Eula Taylor. The Taylors however, in1942, split the original property and sold the 40 acre Lizard Butte portion to the Association for $400.00. As we look back over the years and think about the services, how wonderful it is that through a faith in a Risen Christ and with the cooperation of many people of different faiths from the community, the story of the Lord’s resurrection has sounded forth from this lava outcropping to inspire and bless the thousands who have attended the services through the years. The hope of the Lizard Butte Sunrise Association is that the One who gave His life for us, who arose from the tomb on Easter Sunday, who later ascended into Heaven, and who will one day return to this earth, continues to bless our future Easter Sunrise Services, and that His blessing and inspiration will touch many lives as the community comes together for the annual Lizard Butte Sunrise Service this Easter morning. The history of this service is also quite unique. Lizard Butte is located east of Marsing, Idaho on the banks of the Snake River and is one of Idaho’s “natural wonders.” Geologically, the butte is a half crater, and reminder of prehistoric days when the entire area was a seething mass of lava beds. Early pioneers named the formation Lizard Butte because of its resemblance to a huge lizard. For more information, call (208) 454-9001. In the spring of 1937, Ray and Marion Stafford attended an Easter Sunrise Service while on vacation. After they returned to Marsing, Mrs. Stafford was looking out her window at Lizard Butte and thought it would be a great place for a Sunrise Service. She shared her thoughts with a friend, Mrs. Thomas Harris, and they in turn projected the idea to Mr. D. D. Ulrich. Together this small group sent messages to all the surrounding communities and asked each to send a representative to a planning meeting. On February l4, 1938, they met and made plans for a Sunrise Service. During the planning for a community Sunrise Service, Lizard Butte Sunrise Association was organized and Mr. Ulrich was elected as President. Mrs. Harris was elected as Secretary/Treasurer. The first service on Lizard Butte was held April l7, l938 with approximately l,000 people. For the first service, a temporary platform was erected and the hill terraced for seating (the original terracing marks can still be seen today). Also, a wooden cross was designed and built by Mr. Ulrich and put on the highest peak. The cross was burned by vandals two years later and was replaced by one constructed of reinforced concrete. For its construction, work crews transported the materials for the new cross, with the aid of a horse drawn sled, to the platform where the cement was transferred to buckets and hand-carried to the top of the hill by bucket brigade. The large white concrete cross, looms strong and stately above the valley where it brings hope and promise to many busy lives below. For the last several years the board has been working on raising funds to put a permanent roof on the shell. These improvements will element the need to put a tarp over the shell each year. The program has followed a similar pattern from the beginning. As the sun rises, the service commences with a bugle call and the appearance of two angels at the foot of the cross. The Old Rugged Cross is sung and a scripture reading from Matthew 28:1-10 and 16-20 is read. In order to insure that the Sunrise Service would continue to take place for a long time to come, the Association decided to buy the Lizard Butte property.
