Recently, I read where physicians at New York’s Metropolitan Hospital removed more than 300 coins from the stomach of a thirty-eight-year-old man after X rays showed he had swallowed quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies. No one ever discovered what his purpose was in swallowing so many coins. But it is rumored that a pastor who heard about it rejoiced because there was a man who finally put his money where his mouth was.
I must tell you that there are many people and churches that are apt to quickly laud the ministry of the Christian Action League. They deliver high praise for its strategic work in the North Carolina General Assembly – providing lawmakers and their consideration of various public-policy issues with a strong moral compass based in a Christin worldview. Yet, there are not so many willing to put their money where their mouth is. If our state and nation are to be reclaimed for Christ, then we must join hands together in giving to ministries like the Christian Action League (CAL).
As we approach the end of this fiscal year for CAL, let me thank you for your gracious support. In October, I reported with some fear and trepidation that the League was facing suspension of operations if it couldn’t quickly clear out its debt. Many responded graciously and I rejoice to tell you the necessary funds were raised. I thank God and I thank many of you!!! God willing, we’ll be around to fight another year.
Still, let me share with you my heart in saying that I am praying for a Christmas miracle. Only $5,600 more would bless us to finish this year completely in the black. Now considering the financial struggles we’ve had this year, this would really be nothing less than a miracle!
As you’re considering your giving at year’s end, if you’ve yet to respond to the Christian Action League’s requests for financial help, would you prayerfully consider sending us something right away? In the spirit of the One who gave so much in sending the gift of His own precious Son, Jesus Christ, would you make a sacrificial gift to us for the sake of the Lord’s work? Perhaps you could send $25.00, $50.00, $100 or much more. Maybe you could ask your Sunday School class to send something. Or you might even take the matter up with the Pastor for a love offering.
To give your gift securely online, simply go to the Christian Action League’s web site, look in the right margin of the Home Page and click on the word, “Donate.” Then simply follow a the prompts. It shouldn’t take you more than 5 minutes.
To send your gift via the mail, simply address your gift to:

Once again, thank you for praying for us. And thank you for your generosity.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
