Pastor, If you are like me, your not only concerned with the state of the nation, but also with the state of the church in general. Times are tuff, we face high prices everywhere, the threat of terrorism, our young men and women are fighting for us across the sea. Here, people are loosing their jobs, homes and hope. Many struggle to make ends meet. Right now we face the most serious economic crisis since the great depression. We are also in the midst of an energy crisis, gas prices through the roof, shortages and lines backed up all over the southeast. In the past year, we've seen many parts of the country face massive floods, while others face unprecedented droughts. Hurricanes have wrecked our coast, tornadoes our cities and towns. Yes, these are hard times for America. We also face a moral crisis in this nation which threatens to destroy not only the religious liberty we now enjoy, but ultimately our country as a whole. Already we see many of our religious rights being lost, just look at what happened in Colorado with the passing of Senate Bill 200 which could ultimately lead to a ban against the distribution of the Bible in that state. The scary thing is, there are other states already with similar bills ready to be passed. This is just the start. As a nation we are still killing the unborn, allowing sodimites to marry, crime is rampant, morality in this once Christian nation is almost dead. Yes, we live in perilous times! We are about to choose someone to lead our nation for the next four years and maybe beyond. That person will be shaping our nation, its policies, appointing judges etc… This may be the most important election in our nation's history. Regardless of which party you belong to, the truth is, we need Gods wisdom and guidance in choosing the direction we take. This may be the most important time in the history of the Church also, and for the future of our children and grandchildren. It's easy with all of the problems we face to get wrapped up in the day in and day out struggles we each face. It's easy to become complacent in the status quo and to think that things will just continue on as they always have. It's easy to think, "we could never loose our rights as Christians" "We'll always have the right to assemble and worship as we please" But most Christians are at ease in Zion, we're sleeping and it's time we wake up. (I Thes. 5:6) Why is the country in such bad shape? Many tend to blame others, saying it's the homosexuals fault, the drug addicts, the atheist, the alcoholic, the immoral etc… But whose fault is it really? The Bible says in 2 CH 7:14 If MY people, which are called by MY name, shall humble THEMSELVES , and pray, and seek my face, and turn from THEIR wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgivetheir sin, and will heal their land. It is the Christian and our sins which are the problem in America today and it is only by OUR repentance that we will see revival and the healing of this land we love. It seems as if we are in a downward moral spiral with no hope of escape. But I for one believe we CAN have revival in our churches and in America. When faced with the judgment of God upon the city of Nineveh this is what they did. Jonah 3:5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. And what happened? God saw that they had turned from their evil way and spared them. Therefore, I ask you to covenant with me and commit to fast and pray on the FIRST day of OCTOBER 2008 for PERSONAL revival and for Gods mercy and blessings upon The United States of America. The goal is to have at least 1 million Christian men and women, fasting and praying together on October 1st 2008 for personal revival and for this great country of ours. Please make the commitment to stand with us and discuss this with your congregation. We'd love to hear from you, please let us know if you will stand with us! We have attached a flyer to this email which we hope you will print out and post to let people know about "Fast on the First" Mighty things happen when Gods people unite in prayer! Mat 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. May the Lord Bless You, Fast on the First Psa 85:6 Who is "Fast on the First"? We are a growing group of Christians who are concerned with the state of the church, and of the United States of America and have made the commitment to set aside October 1 2008 as a day to fast and pray seeking personal revival and the mercy and blessings of God upon our nation. Our goal is to have 1 million Christians making the commitment with us. We hope and pray that we can count on you!

Fast on the First

Dear brothers and sisters! I have only one way left that is to get in touch with you. I will tell in short about myself. I am Valery Matveychuk. I live in Odessa, Ukraine. I’m 42 years old. I am an invalid, I have muscular dystrophy of Duchenne, I have to stay in bed for many years. I’m a member of First Baptist Church in Odessa. My faith in our Lord Jesus Christ helps my in life and give strength to overcome the disease and problems which unfortunately are many. The Lord works miracles. I’m confined to my bed but still can “come” to church and together with my brothers and sisters pray and praise the Lord – how great it is that we are together. Brothers in Christ take me in my wheelchair to church and it’s not easy. I’m completely motionless and of course very heavy, but they don’t leave me alone. On my birthday on July 21 in 2002 they bought me a computer on their own money. It was my dream for a long time and now I have an access to e-mail. I’ve always had a dream to have fellowship with Christians and interesting people from different towns and countries. And now the Lord through brothers and sisters made this dream come true. Also through the Internet I am looking for information about my disease – doctors, clinics, funds etc. “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8. I was 42 on July 21. I was born in 1965 and when I was 5 in 1970 I got sick. Now I’m completely helpless, hands can hardly work, I can’t even take a cup, it’s too heavy for me. I suddenly felt worse in fall 1979 when I was 14, then the condition got even worse in 1982 overnight when I was 17, I even remember the date – from August 31 on September 1. Since them the condition gets worse continuously, though there is no way to get it worse already. And at the beginning of summer in 1988 I fell down and broke my leg (femoral bone) and stayed in plaster for many months and it’s a disaster for such sick as me. In fact, I broke the leg twice, first time when I fell down and the second time the drunken hospital workers broke it when they carried me from home to hospital for x-ray. But nobody was surprised, I just live in a country like this. In hospitals people often die because they just didn’t get the simple medical aid. Since 1970 and until now neuropathologists prescribe the same medicine to me, which never helped me and I felt even worse. It seems like our medicine stopped developing in 1970. I have friends who always help me, I may say that I live at their expense. Seeing my condition and our medicine here in Ukraine, they decided to find help in western civilized counties. As I have a lot of free time, they told me to start search though my English is not good for that. I’m looking for hospitals, clinics, charity funds which work with sick people like me. I realize that it’s impossible to bring me back to normal life but I hope that there is a way at least to help my hands and to improve my general condition. If I could just crawl it would be a big progress for me. For instance, I know that it’s used gene therapy, tube cells and other methods treating muscular dystrophy of Duchenne, but all of these are not used in Ukraine, everything is on the level of 1970 and the doctors agree with that. My muscles and joints constantly aches, flabbiness. My friends see how hard it is for me and ready to help me. But the problem is to find a place where they work effectively with patients like me. That’s why I’m asking your help. As I said before, I understand that I won’t walk any more especially after breaking the leg, but if I could work with my hands better it will be a big success for me. Dear brothers and sisters, may be there is someone who could help me with information. One interesting fact is that I was able to find hospitals where they work with muscular dystrophy but when they hear that I’m from poor Ukraine they quit writing. It’s sad but Ukraine is considered as a country of the third world. And there is no hospital which will be ready to work with an invalid from a country like that! That’s why I decided to try to do something through Christians. Peace to you.
