As you may have noticed, I haven’t posted here in a while.  I’ve been in a sort of self-imposed exile writing feverishly. I am finally doing what so many have asked me do: Put the amazing story of God’s Work in Washington into a book. The result, by God’s grace and help, will be a book that tells the story of how this ministry called Faith and Action came to be.

In connection with three speaking engagements in Florida, I was able to sequester myself for two weeks in the beautiful winter home of two of our most staunch supporters–on Siesta Key along the Sunshine State’s Gulf Coast, no less! Don’t be too envious, though–they were two of the coldest weeks on record for otherwise warm and balmy Southwest, Florida! I was glad for it because it kept me inside, doing what I needed to do–exhaustive research and writing.

I hope to have the manuscript done by May and the book released in the fall. Please pray with me. This is not just a memoir of what I or a host of others have done; it’s a record of what God Almighty has wrought, using a few of us as His tools. As I wrote, it proved more than a chronology–it felt like I was producing a chapter in the modern-day Book of Acts!

Oh, I should say you’re as much a part of this story as anyone, so it’s your book as much as mine. Without your prayers, friendship and support, none of it would have happened. Because you’ve been obeident to what God has called you to do, we’ve been enabled to be obedient to what God has called us to do.

I’ll keep you posted on the upcoming “epic” of our pilgrimage together toward God’s purpose here in the nation’s capital.

Blessings,

PS Some have already asked what the title will be. I have no idea. If you do, post it here. Who knows?

Faith & Action recently staged the first ever live Christmas Nativity Scene infront of the Supreme Court and across the street from the US Capitol to encourage similar displays around the country. “If we don’t exercise our First Amendment liberties regularly and boldly, we’re bound to lose them,” said Rev. Rob Schenck.
