SEAL America -- Day 100

Personal Reflections:

Today marks day one-hundred of the SEAL America campaign -- National Communion 2008. I have many thoughts. It's a paradox, but it seems a long time that passed quickly. It is a long time to be on the road, away from the comforts of home -- but the speed at which we work makes the days pass quickly.

In th past one-hundred days I've had my shares of temptations, tests and trials; but never have I doubted the importance of the SEAL America assignment. This might be the first time in the history of America that believers have gathered at every state capitol, plus Washington DC, for the sole purpose of holding communion services -- in a fifty-one week period! That must be a record. I might be the first individual who has gone to all fifty state capitols, plus Washington DC, to have communion, in a fifty-one week period. I'm honored to do it.

We've traveled about eight-thousand miles. However, we yet have a long road ahead of us. Before this campaign is over I estimate that I will travel the equivalent of twice around the earth. We yet have thirty seven events to go, and we have 265 more days to make it happen.

A lot has happened in one hundred days. We've told our story thousands of times -- to individuals, to groups, by the Internet, by e-mail, by TV and Radio, and in print. Finally, we are beginning to see things come back to us. We are beginning to receive inbound calls, and in our outbound calls we are beginning to hear more people say, "Oh we've already heard about SEAL America.

Also, the finances we need to operate are beginning to come in. So far we haven't met our budget; but we are encouraged, and we expect to reach a break-even point, soon. Then, as additional finances come in, we can expand our campaign.

I don't have space to share what I've learned; but I know a lot more now than I did one-hundred days ago -- On-job-training! It's amazing how quickly we learn when we are thrust into an unfamiliar environment. No one has ever held a National Communion campaign exactly like SEAL America. Thank God for His word and the Holy Spirit. We are walking by faith.

More than anything, I miss my wife, Loretta. We have seen one another twice this year. This past week, we were disappointed that she couldn't attend the Arkansas event. However, we hope to meet in Texas, on the eghteenth. We will have about three days together. Then we will meet again in Oklahoma City. We are praying that God will make a way for us to see one another at least once a month.

In the last week of May, we will SEAL Honolulu, Hawaii. That would be an even greater event if Loretta could meet me there. It won't be a vacation -- we don't have time to sit around --But we could hold hands, have a couple of seafood dinners, and make some memories.

As I think about the next one hundred days, I'm optimistic. If SEAL America continues to expand at the present rate, we should see the beginnings of a ground swell. Here's what we need: more prayer partners (the Devil doesn't want us to anoint the State Houses with the Blood of Jesus). More doors of utterance to open. I must share what we are doing with more and more people, groups, churches, and broadcast audiences. More partners. We need people who, don't just encourage us, but who also will invest in the blessing. Having a strong stream of income will free us to concentrate on the ministry-side of the SEAL America Campaign.

I'm optimistic about the future of The SEAL America Campaign -- national Communion 2008. I am also optimistic about the future of America. We Christians are the majority, and as we stand together, the rest of the nation will take notice, and we will all reap the benefits of living in a land that's been sealed by the Blood. "Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord!"

Please take an active part in this ministry. After all, this is not just my ministry. This is for everyone who hopes for a better America. Sealing the Capitols is a prerequisite to a national spiritual awakening, and you can help make it happen. We are duty-bound to give younger Americans a better America, and SEAL America is a viable way to make America better. "The solution's in the cup!"
