Holocaust Remembrance Day is Every Day
Can the observance of Yom HaShoah possibly be given added weight and significance? Emphatically, yes. Today there is a new Hitler who wants to destroy the Jewish people and the old adage “Never Again” has never been more meaningful.
Yom HaShoah commemorated this year on April 28 has to be more than commemorating the horrific past. It must be about combating the deadliest enemy that the Jewish people have ever faced, a nuclear armed Iran.
We must use the lessons of the past on what we must do today. History must note that six million voices claimed victory over those who would again bring darkness into the world. On Yom HaShoah let us declare that Never Again Is Now, then proceed to launch the greatest assault the world has ever seen on an enemy that is determined to unleash a nuclear nightmare upon America, Israel, and the citizens of the free world.
When being threatened with extinction Holocaust Remembrance Day is every day. We must act with lighting speed because Congress still believes they have time to negotiate with Iran while the majority believes there is nothing we can do to stop them.
To reverse this untenable position there must be a great awakening, one that instills within us an indomitable spirit that victory is within reach. Creating this great awakening is the purpose of this campaign.
While promoting his 9-9-9 tax policy, Herman Cain was asked, “Do you think there is a will in Washington for politicians to put their careers on the line to do the right thing?” And he replied, “Not without the will of the people, without a massive activist grassroots movement from the bottom up. They are not going to do it from the inside. When they feel the heat, they will see the light.” We the people must be the heat.. We have to take on the Goliath.
We, Jews and Christians together, must be that Goliath. The Never Again Is Now campaign provides the catalyst so we can achieve this objective.
In January we posted an ad in the Jewish Voice and Opinion, and the reaction to our campaign proved that a six million army of Never Again is no phantom army.
When told about the response they received from my ad, I was overjoyed. The editor wrote, “We have been inundated with calls and emails since the January issue came out with your ads. People have been telling us that they know Iran is a terrible problem, but they didn’t think they could do anything about it. Your ads seem to have motivated them to make their voices heard by contacting Congressmen, both their own, and others.
Please encourage all you know to join with us in this campaign to stop Iran.

JOIN US LIVE ONLINE TONIGHT at 6 pm, Saturday, April 26 to watch a deeply moving history-making event at Saddleback
This month is the 20th Anniversary of “The NEW Rwanda.” In 1994, Rwanda lost 10% of its population in a genocide which left 1 million dead and 1 million children orphaned. But since 1994, that nation has gone through an amazing transformation. In fact, no other nation in history has seen a faster turnaround. Ten years ago, the government of Rwanda invited Saddleback to start sending our PEACE teams to “help make Rwanda the first Purpose-Driven nation AND the first national model of the PEACE plan.” We responded, sending nearly 2,000 Saddleback members to serve in Rwanda.
Tonight thousands will gather at Saddleback Lake Forest for “KWIBUKA 20” a special commemorative service. The Rwanda word for “Remember” is “Kwibuka."
THE PURPOSE of KWIBUKA 20
1) To COMMEMORATE and HONOR the memory of those who died in the genocide.
2) To CELEBRATE the amazing success of the PEACE plan in Rwanda.
3) To HEAR the exciting plans to use the PEACE plan of Rwanda as a national model for every other nation in Africa. This is includes an All-Africa Purpose Driven Leadership Conference to be held next year in Rwanda with leaders coming from all 54 African nations!
THE PROGRAM
4 pm to 6 pm – A stirring photo exhibit with Rwandan music.
6:00 pm - Doors open to Worship Center for seating (on a first come basis)
6:15 pm – Program begins:
- Rwandan college students bring in the Flame of Remembrance Torch that has traveled to all 30 districts of Rwanda and to genocide commemoration sites around the globe!

Have you ever watched children play hide and seek? They look for the best place to hide in the house or yard and wait quietly for their friend to try to find them. It's a fun game for kids, but even as adults, we need a good place to hide from time to time. Sometimes we need a place of refuge, a place of safety, a place to rest when we feel overwhelmed by the circumstances of life; a place where the enemy of our soul can never find us.The Scripture says,"In the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle and set me high upon a rock"(Psalm 27:5, NIV)
Remember that there's only one place the enemy cannot find you. There's only one place where opposition cannot steal from you. There's only one true place of safety and rest for your soul, and that is in the arms of Jesus. Know that He loves you, and He is ready to receive you when you call on His name.You are blessed.

Father,I thank You for Your grace and provision. I trust that even when I can’t see how things will work out, You will bring increase in unexpected ways. Help me keep my eyes on You, Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith in Jesus’ name. Amen.

You can Increase in Unexpected Ways!
The Scripture says,“And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”(2 Corinthians 9:8, NIV)
When the Israelites were in the desert, God fed them with manna from heaven. It was miraculous provision; yet, they got tired of eating the same thing every day. They said, “Moses, we want some meat to eat out here.” Moses thought, “That’s impossible. Meat out here in the desert?” That’s steak for some two million people. There were no grocery stores, no place to buy food. But God has ways to increase you that you’ve never thought of. God simply shifted the direction of the wind and caused a huge flock of quail to come into the camp. The people didn’t even have to go after it. The food came to them. What’s interesting is that quail don’t normally travel that far away from the water. If there had not been a strong wind, the quail would have never made it way out there in the desert. What am I saying? God knows how to get your provision to you.
What do you need today? What are the desires of your heart? God’s grace is sufficient. He is able to make all grace abound so that in all times, you have everything you need. Trust Him to bring increase in unexpected ways.You can increase in unexpected way.God bless you.

Adversity could be the very thing God uses to take you to new level.
Your life can change for the better in a single moment.You can be going along, doing your best, living a life that honors God, but feel like you’re getting nowhere.Or you may feel like no one’s noticing. You may be tempted to start giving up on your dreams because at this rate, there’s no way it could come true. That’s where God comes in.
In one moment God can accelerate your life and change everything.If you’ll step out in faith, if you’ll believe that God can do anything and stay faithful where you’re at, one day you’ll look up amazed and say, “I can’t believe I got here so fast.You may be facing disappointment, pain and setbacks today, or even criticism from those you love, but don’t get discouraged. Adversity could be the very thing God uses to take you to new level.God bless you.

Jesus is the Author and Finisher
Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-2a, NKJ).
God will never start something that He cannot finish. That promise He put in your heart—that you’re going to be healed, that you’re coming out of debt,that your spouse is on the way, that your family will be restored—He will do it.God has every intention of bringing those promises to pass.It may be taking a long time but i tell you not to loose your faith. All the odds are against you. But if you’ll just keep believing, keep praying, and keep being your best, then God promises that He is going to finish what He started in you.You are blessed.
