Over the last 10 years FCA has been able to send over 1400 kids to camp who would not have had the opportunity to be challenged physically, mentally and spiritually. The FCA tournament not only allows us to send kids to camp but also to establish FCA huddle clubs in over 25 schools. Every week over 500 kids are impacted through FCA clubs and chapels services around Southern Arizona.

The FCA golf scramble luncheon gave a clear picture of what the FCA mission and vision is for our community.

As we behold the beauty and uniqueness of God’s creations, one must acknowledge the creativity and design that continues to be realized through individuals who have dedicated their talent back to Him.

Married couple, LaShandria and Covito Redman are such individuals. The Redmans are the founders of Divine Appointment Christian Dance LLC, a faith-based dance school and company in Tucson, Arizona.

Divine Appointment’s mission statement says the following, “Our mission is to equip and empower dancers for the Kingdom.” Not only do they teach dance but also the importance of dance and how it should be used to worship and glorify God.

Classes include flags, hip-hop, praise, mime, prophetic dance and more. In the last year or so, Divine Appointment has also added drama and spoken word to their offerings.

If you would like to experience the sights and sound of Divine Appointment, the school hosts an annual “Divine Meeting.” This event is a concert in which both the students and instructors participate and perform.

This year’s theme is “Do You See What I See?” The concert is free and open to the public.

“The press has become a tool of oppression—politicized, self–aware, self–motivated, and power–hungry. . . . In short, these people can no longer be trusted.” —From S. E. Cupp’s Losing Our Religion.

Cupp reveals the liberal media’s growing anti-Christian bias and their attempts to deny the values held by the majority of Americans.

Cupp is an atheist and a non-believer. This uniquely qualifies her as the perfect impartial reporter of the culture war dividing America and the eroding Judeo-Christian values on which this country was founded.

As a political columnist and culture critic, Cupp has a regular online column at the New York Daily News, and a regular feature at The Daily Caller.

Cupp is a political commentator. She has appeared on FOX News, MSNBC, CNN, CSPAN. She is a regular guest on “Hannity,” “Larry King Live,” “Fox & Friends,” “Geraldo,” and “Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld.” She has been heard on dozens of radio shows, including The Dennis Miller Show.

She is a graduate of Cornell University (2000) and a Masters candidate at NYU (2010). She was born in Carlsbad, CA and grew up primarily in Andover, MA. She lives in New York City.

Cupp in her 20 minute presentation gave several examples from her book where she quotes and name’s names to support her obsevations.

Cupp in her conclusion challenged the audience to “get angry” and organize to become a voice to be heard.

Cupp then entertained questions from the audience before signing books.

Less than an hour later, a business friend sends me a text to inform me that U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords had just been shot and killed. As I tuned in the local news and internet news, I reflected on what my client had just said. My heart was saddened.

How is it that an elected person who had provided a venue where you could sit across the table and talk to her, is shot by one of the very people she is trying to serve? How is it that the people in Haiti are struggling to find substance for survival and today in the USA, people went to the grocery store and will never make it home again?

As I drove past Giffords’ office while running errands this afternoon, a vigil had started with some of the participants hold signs that said to pray. I continued to do so.

Yesterday, these people were not there. I was reminded of the scripture that says:

1 Timothy 2:1

“The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God wants us to live.”

The Message Bible

I would admonish us as a nation to pray for those whose lives will never be the same because of the tragedy that happened today. Also continue to pray for all the people who have committed their lives and resources in service to us. Let’s not let prayer be a response to tragedy or blessings, but a lifestyle of thanksgiving.

January 16th is National Religious Freedom Day, and the National Day of Prayer is fast approaching. Let us acknowledge the importance of these days put in place by our government to unite us as a people, and as a nation. God Bless the USA!

National Religious Freedom Day Public Service Announcement with Jesse Kelly

The event, the brain-child of Sunday Isom, a member of the Faith on Fire Church in Goodyear, was a deviation from the traditional New Year’s Eve service or party. Isom felt the need to address the Haiti devastation as the result of the earthquake almost a year ago.

The purpose of the event was to remind the public that not all is well in Haiti and to reach out to those still hurting there. “Although Haiti is not in the media and news anymore, the people there still need our help,” said Isom.

The funds raised will go to the Tyler Perry Foundation to be distributed for the relief efforts in Haiti.

The benefit had a variety of artists and entertainment. This included music, dance and the spoken word. New-age music, Rap, rock was all represented throughout the evening.

The pastor of the Faith on Fire Church, Dr. Rodney Pearson, prayed for the people of Haiti, the benefit and those in attendance that 2011 will bring a change and the needs of the people would be met.

Those that attended the benefit celebrated making it to the New Year, but understood that they were reaching out so that Haiti could celebrate soon as well.
