Since you’re reading this, I assume that, like me, you feel that there are many serious issues in America. We truly need an awakening. Because of this, I am focusing attention on an event two weeks from today sponsored by the Freedom Federation and my friend Mat Staver of the Liberty Counsel. It’s called The Awakening 2013, and it’s in the Orlando, Fla., area, April 19-20, at First Baptist Church in Oviedo. The theme this year is: Fighting for the Soul of America.
We know that the Lord has great things in store for us. The Awakening last year was powerful. I had the opportunity to attend. This year, I’m attending the first day only because I’m leaving the country on an extended trip (which I will write about later). But, this meeting is so important that I’m attending the first night when my friend Sam Rodriguez is speaking.
Other speakers include: Congresswoman Michele Bachmann—a principled reformer who holds an unwavering commitment to conservative values, is one of the featured speakers and will be sharing her heart for life, liberty and limited government. While running for President in 2012, Bachmann said, “The life of the unborn is not a sidebar issue … it is the watershed issue of our time.”
Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Gerry Boykin was one of the elite warriors chosen in 1978 to make up the first Delta Force. He then became commander of the unit, and he later commanded all of the U.S. Army Special Forces. He is an expert on national security, intelligence, the Middle East, and radical Islam.
Topics to be covered at the conference include understanding and reaching minority communities; understanding and reaching the millenial generation; the U.S.-Israel alliance; Sharia law and the Constitution; immigration reform; the Second Amendment to the Constitution; religious liberty, marriage and the family; human sex trafficking; social justice and the state of the economy.
Now, more than ever, Americans need to be educated on fundamental values and how to make values-based decisions.
The Awakening 2013 will inspire and equip you to fight for the soul of America. Please join me in attending this crucial event for our country.
