Sharing a rather unique challenge to evangelism, Bible teacher and author Anne Graham Lotz’s ministry has announced in an e-mail message to supporters that a planned event in Manila may be in jeopardy because the arena has opted for a different event: cock fighting. Here’s what the e-mail message, from the ministry of the daughter of evangelist Billy Graham, said:
URGENT PRAYER NEED
For the past year, Just Give Me Jesus Metro Manila has been scheduled for Feb. 2, 2008 at Araneta Coliseum. We have just been notified that the arena management has cancelled their agreement with us, and will instead host a cock fight that day.
Though we rarely extend such mass prayer appeals, we are asking our friends to please join us, immediately, in praying for the Lord to intervene and restore our event to its original location and date.
“Wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet, join us there. Our God will fight for us!” Nehemiah 4:20
