Prayer and Political Savvey
Andrea Lafferty knows what it takes to mobilize people of faith and keep them informed about the most critical issues facing our nation.
Andrea Lafferty is a bit of a contradiction. At an age when most women are preparing for an empty nest, she has reduced her travel schedule to raise her 4-year-old adopted son.She also demonstrates the "compassionate" in "conservative," starting her church's homeless ministry, caring for numerous children from broken or unstable homes, and mentoring teens.

Healing Post-Abortion Pain
Sydna Massé wants to make the truth of God’s forgiveness known, so that women who have been traumatized by abortion no longer have to suffer in silence.
It took Sydna Massé 19 years to fully grieve the loss of her first child, completing the process by naming him for his grandfather. That emotional step came in 2001 at the National Memorial for the Unborn in Chattanooga, Tennessee."There were a lot of tears involved," says Sydna, an outgoing mother of three teens. "You can't lose a child and not cry. I think about him every day. You never forget. I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing without that."

Reflections From the Man in the Mirror
In 1986, Patrick Morley discipled a handful of men who met together in an Orlando-area bar to study the Bible. Today, he challenges men in 80 countries to be Christ's disciples. New Man recognizes an icon of the modern men's movement.
The letter came from a New Jersey man who attended a conference sponsored by a Methodist men's group. The featured speaker: Patrick Morley.
"I truly believe [Pat's] presentation saved my marriage," the man wrote. "My wife and I had agreed to get a divorce the night before the gathering. I felt as though Pat were talking directly to me. Everything he said fit what I was going through and made perfect sense."
Making sense to men is what Morley, the founder of the Orlando, Fla.-based Man in the Mirror (MIM) ministry, has been doing now for 20 years.

Inside the Mind of an Islamic Terrorist
A look inside the mind of Islamic terrorists reveals why they are willing to give up their lives-and why they can't be stopped by weapons made by man.
Indoctrinated since childhood and trained in secret camps across the Middle East, they are dominated by an aggressive religion and fueled by a belief that they are doing God's will. Ultimately, they can't be stopped with weapons made by man.“Why we are fighting and opposing you? The answer is very simple: Because you attacked us and continue to attack us. … The British handed over Palestine, with your help and your support, to the Jews, who have occupied it for over 50 years; years overflowing with oppression, tyranny, crimes, killing, expulsion, destruction and devastation. The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes, and you are the leaders of its criminals. … It brings us both laughter and tears to see that you have not yet tired of repeating your fabricated lies that Jews have a historical right to Palestine, as it was promised to them in the Torah. … The blood pouring out of Palestine must be equally revenged.”
From Osama bin Laden's 2002 “Letter to America”Mark Gabriel knows the spirit of hatred and revenge. Back in Egypt, the teachers in his Muslim-run school taught him to hate Christians and Jews-hate them for the crime of stealing Palestine, for occupying sacred land and for opposing the one true religion of Islam.
