H. B. London
Today Deacon Rick and Jenny spoke with H. B. London of Focus on the Family. H.B. spoke to us to promote Clergy Appreciation Month. H.B. stressed that if it weren't for priests and pastors who stand up for righteousness in America the world would be a lot worse off. H.B. also spoke of the hard work that pastors put into their jobs. In particular those who are bi-locational pastors.
There will be a Pastors Appreciation Dinner at the Hilton Garden in Johnston on October 27, 2008. H.B. encouraged any clergy to call them and join in an event where the Clergy's dinners will be free. There are only a few spots left, so the number to call is 515-274-9296: ask for Cheryl. The first Church of the Open Bible is hosting the event.
H. B. also invited listeners to take time to encourage your pastors and priests.
Jon Leonetti
Deacon Rick and Jenny also spoke with Jon Leonetti, host of a new show on KWKY: Martyrs of the Third Millennium airing at 2:30pm on Saturdays.
Jon is also going to be Walking across the country in March. A ministry that is in response to the Year of Saint Paul. He and his friend Jesse are going to take a push cart and walk from Ocean Park, California to Ocean City, New Jersey. This trek will take them around seven and a half months. Jon and Jesse will be speaking with those they encounter about the power of prayer: to enter into an "intimate friendship with Christ." (St. Theresa of Avila) In these months leading up to the Walk they are working on raising money to help get them from coast to coast. They've signed a contract with Outside the Box Media, which give them non-profit status and makes donations tax deductible. To learn more about how to help them in their mission you can go to their blog: soulywalking.com They will be launching a web-site soon and there will be a link on the blog to it.
Jon told us a little about his Radio Program on KWKY. It's called "Martyrs of the Third Millennium." The show is geared toward youth ages 18-30 and speaks to them about the freedom and power in prayer. It challenges young people to be martyrs in a spiritual sense. To be willing to die to themselves and put on Christ in their daily lives. The show will include nationally renowned Catholic speakers as well as going out to the youth and allowing them to ask questions about matters of faith and prayer.
Jon is also spearheading an event for the youth: M.3.M. (Martyrs of the Third Millennium). This event consists of prayer, adoration, music and words of inspiration. This event is to help the youth begin a revolution of prayer, to encounter Christ and cast into the deep. John Paul II was asked once by a Spanish Newspaper why he wanted to start World Youth Day. His response was, "I come to greet the Martyrs of the Third Millennium." This event is designed to help youth embrace the call through living a life of prayer.
