CWA of New Mexico brought their pro-family and pro-life message to an estimated 900,000 residents that were expected to attend this year’s fair.

The Bible tells us, that you and I are the stewards of all that God has given us. And that one day, you and I will have to give an account for all we have received. “Much has been given and much will be demanded.” This stewardship includes the freedom and responsibility God has given you and me to select the leaders of our great land. You and I are the stewards of our vote. To be faithful to this stewardship we must register to vote and on Election Day, knowing full well that every candidate is a fallen creature in need of God’s grace and we must support those candidates who most approximate Biblical truth.
Though Christians came out to vote in record numbers in 2004, only 26% bothered to vote. A staggering 74% buried their talent.
I invite you to join me again this year, in the task of registering our brothers and sisters to vote so they also may fulfill their God-given responsibility. I need your help. Please email me at nmpastors@aol.com with your current contact information so I or another volunteer can contact you and provide the materials you need to help in a voter registration drive in your church. Also, please forward this email to your friends who would be interested in registering voters in their churches.
The link below is one of the best one-stop sites I’ve seen in my 31 years as a pastor and 13 years of political leadership here in New Mexico.

“Elitist Corruption” by Mark Ortega
In both sides of my family, people have always been good citizens. My mother was an old school Democrat of FDR, JFK, and LBJ. She was a patriotic American. She despised Nixon and loved Kennedy. My oldest brother was a Marine in Vietnam. In my mother’s family there is a long line of Veterans dating back to the American Revolution. My father was a Republican who was an Air Force Veteran who fought in the Korean War. He loved Nixon. My earliest memories of politics were of my mom talking about how much Nixon was a crook. She worked for a law firm and regularly went to Capitol Hill in Washington D.C.

40 Days For Life. It is a peaceful event so for 40 days (September 24-Nov 2) we are going to hold a constant vigil at Planned Parenthood at San Mateo from 7 am to 7 pm by taking 1 hour shifts to pray. I have teamed up with a Catholic ministry called Project Defending Life, which is next door to PP. So, people throughout Albuquerque many branches of Christianity are going to come together and pray for an end to abortion. The other aspect of the event is going to be fasting, which could be anything from traditional fasting once a week, to giving up TV or something. Anyways, I’ve attached the website for the Albuquerque location since it is a worldwide event. They’ve held this event across the country and have had amazing results including 2 abortion centers shutting down, over 500 women have decided not to have abortions, and 5 PP employees have walked away from their jobs. Anyways, let me know if you are interested in being a part of the vigil. If you cannot make it down, then prayer anywhere is always good! Call me if you have any questions or want to get involved! 505 515-8473 (cell), 237-9039 (home), http://www.40daysforlife.com/albuquerque/
