So here we are, schools are closing for another long hot summer and we need to find things to do with the kids. This is nothing new, as we parents have been doing this for generations. What is becoming more and more important is how we educate our children about the immediate world around them. We know we cannot trust the public school education system and if we are not vigilant, some of the garbage being taught in some Christian colleges can be just as dangerous!

For instance, Wheaton College is the well known alma mater of one Billy Graham – America’s greatest 20th Century evangelist. But in the past decade, some professors there have adopted the old earth theory of some evolutionists! More and more Christian schools, pastors and some seminary people are thinking they can be both believers in Evolution and the Bible! It does not work that way! To be kind, I will not quote the Bible verse which the Lord Jesus has about all of this and lukewarm beliefs!

What we have to guard against is the slow brainwashing of our children, if we are not careful. Take for example, the St. Louis Zoo. Admission is free (parking is not if you use their secure parking lot). Because of that, many parents in the Midwest go there and I suspect that this summer, it will be the same nationwide! There is something magical about zoos, kids and summer….and there should be!

But the minute you enter the St. Louis Zoo, go through doors and turn left (!!), you enter the Natural History room. Sitting right up from is Charles Darwin, and from there, it is all downhill. You get to see Lucy, who is an ape that man supposedly descended from!

FROM BERNIE LUTCHMAN, BMIC VICE PRESIDENT:

Men, do you realize the average Christian prays less than three minutes PER day, IF AT ALL! It is even worse when divided between the Genders. If you look at most Prayer Ministries, the majority are run by or staffed with women!  In Luke 18:1, JESUS said this to His Disciples: “One day Jesus told His disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up“Those disciples were MEN and women. Yet somehow, somewhere, we men think it is the duty of our wives and mothers to pray…and then we agree with them…when God Himself  give US – His Disciple, a directive.

Hollywood influences every aspect of our lives, whether we know it or not. I have recently become involved in praying for this industry which affects your children and mine. Do I agree with what comes out of there even 10% of the time? No! Do I condemn them? Not anymore – Jesus will take care of unrepentant sinners. Should you and I pray for them? YES! I asked my friend and sister in Christ- KAREN COVELL – Director of the Hollywood Prayer Network, to write this for our site to invite MORE MEN – you and I – who are serious about taking our Land back for Jesus – to come and be a part of this and PRAY FOR the Christian Remnant who are part of the Entertainment Industry in California. Here is her EXCLUSIVE appeal to Business Men in Christ and ALL Men to JOIN in OUR MOVEMENT!!!

FROM KAREN COVELL, DIRECTOR – HOLLYWOOD PRAYER NETWORK, HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA:

As the mother of two boys and as a Producer in the film industry, which is primarily run by men, I have a heart to pray for male Christian leaders to rise up in America.  I have been praying for Godly, committed, male leaders of integrity to rise up specifically in the Hollywood Entertainment Industry for almost 30 years.  And I won’t give up.

I do this because I believe that God has called men to be the spiritual leaders in our homes and in society.  It’s a huge task to take on and many Christian men are hesitant to embrace the challenge.  But when they do, it’s beautiful and eternally significant in many ways.  However, so many don’t step up to the plate that our country is lacking in Christian male leadership, thus the downfall of marriage, families, immoral media and the rise in men incarcerated in our culture.

I believe it all starts with prayer.  Historically prayer has been a more tangible practice for women than for men.  I believe that encouraging men to pray will start building stronger male leadership, husbands, dads and friends and media.  And my passion is to encourage more men to pray for the leaders, decision-makers and creative professionals in Hollywood – an industry dominated by men but not prayed for by men.

My challenge to men is to ask them to commit to pray for one male entertainment industry professional once a day or even once a week, and ask God to use both of you to make an eternal impact on culture and on one another’s hearts and lives. I run the Hollywood Prayer Network and we pray for the people who are impacting the world through media.  We set up prayer partnerships where a pray-er commits to pray for an Industry professional – one on one.  And we need men!  We have men who are either currently Christian leaders in Hollywood, or potential leaders, who are waiting for a male intercessor to pray for them, their work and their ministry in the world’s most influential mission field.

Would you men consider committing to this small task of praying for just one more person?  We have seen how our prayer partnerships change lives and are changing culture.  And we need more men.
