| Bob Jones III |
| 05.19.05 (3:14 pm) [edit] |
Last night we met the former President, now current Chancellor, of Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina. Bob Jones III gave a speech at Grace Bible Church in Colorado Springs. Pastor Jeff, who pastors the church, is a graduate of Bob Jones University, and now takes correspondance courses with John MacArther and Master's College. So he is pretty sound.
Bob Jones spoke about our public education system and the need for more parental involvement. Of course, like us, Bob Jones is big home school advocate. We got the chance to speak to Bob Jones after his speech. He was very excited about us as we got the opportunity to share with him our personal testimonies. We talked to him a little about how the Lord Jesus Christ has called us to ensure Mike Pence's presidential candidacy for 2008.
Bob Jones is so amazing that all he really cared about was our doctrine and our knowledge of the Word of God. In fact he was so impressed with us that he offered us an opportunity to attend Bob Jones Bible institute. He really wanted us to be trained by his institution. He gave us his card and told us to pray about the opportunity.

| Pence: Pro-Life Hero |
| 05.18.05 (2:55 pm) [edit] |
Washington, May 18 - (photo: Pence speaks at the annual March for Life in Washington.)
Congressman Mike Pence spoke today on the House floor, urging his colleagues to stand for the sanctity of life and oppose federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. Pence’s comments follow:
“In the coming days, Congress will consider legislation to make taxpayer dollars available for what is known as embryonic stem cell research.
“Stating the case for an imminent presidential veto, in 2001 President Bush made the moral dimensions of scientific testing on human embryos clear.
“These are the principles:
“It is morally wrong to create human life to destroy it for research.
“Also, it is morally wrong to take the tax dollars of millions of pro-life Americans and use them to finance research that they find morally objectionable.
“The choice of our time was described millennia ago: ‘See, I set before you blessings and curses, life and death. Now choose life that you and your children may live.’
“I urge my colleagues to stand for the sanctity of life at every level. Stand with President George W. Bush. Reject taxpayer funding of human embryo research.”

| Colorado Springs |
| 05.17.05 (3:40 pm) [edit] |
We are now in Colorado Springs at Summit Ministries. We have been working hard all week long to help pay for the expenses to the Summit Program. Things are going really well for us thus far. There are many strong Christian Conservatives who have a solid Christian Biblical Worldview. This is definitely the place for us.
There is a possibility of us speaking with Ron Reno, special assistant to Dr. James Dobson. So please be in prayer about that. Also, we will be meeting a Christian book marketer this Friday. Also be in prayer for that as well.
Well, back to working. May God be with the Draft Pence Movement!
Mike Pence in 2008!

We are now in Kearney, Nebraska. We are staying with our friends the Thiessen's. Adam's dad owns a Christian book publishing company called Crosstraining Publishing. Adam's brother Josh just got down graduating from college in one year with an undergraduate degree. He plans on attending Master's Seminary in California to study under John MacAurther. His sister just graduated with a doctorate degree in Physical Therapy and will be attending Kanakuk Institute in the fall.
Adam's youngest sister is dating a young man whose mother is the sister of John Thune. We were able to talk to her about everything. We shared with her our personal testimony and then about how the Lord has put The Draft Pence Movement together. She told us that many people have been suggesting that her brother John run for president in 2008, but she said it is too early for him. She then went on to say that it is perfect timing for Mike Pence to run for president. So we have gained some pretty influential support here in Nebraska.
Also, NewsMax came out with an article saying they have the inside scoop that many influential conservatives are touting Mike Pence as a strong presidential contender for 08. So first American Conservative Union, now NewsMax. Mike Pence's name as a strong potential candidate for 08 will soon be heard nationwide.
In addition, our good friend Jerry Lilley was able to attend National Day of Prayer in Washington, D.C. with the President. He was able to talk with James Dobson and is in the middle of trying to get us an appointment set up with him and his staff. It just so happens that we are going out to Colorado Springs next week. So please pray for this opportunity to come together.
Also, we have to meet a Christian book promoter in Colorado Springs as well. A good friend of ours helped us record a demo cd of our testimony and our ministry. Please pray that the cd will get into the right hands and that those who hear it will want to take part in furthering our ministry.
We'll be in Nebraska until Saturday morning then off to Summit Ministries in Colorado Springs.
Take care and God Bless

Well, we no longer are going out to Las Vegas to attend Freedom Fest. We are now going to Nebraska with our friend Adam Thiessen. We will spend a few days in Nebraska until we leave to go to Colorado Springs to Summit Ministries. We will be there for three weeks. Then prayerfully to Illinois to finish our book. Then back to Indiana. Hopefully, we will be able to find a computer sometime between now and then to blog updates about our journey. our mission is to keep you updated on the things the Lord Jesus Christ is doing in our lives. Please stay tuned and please pray for us and for The Draft Pence Movement.
Take care and God Bless

This was an amazing weekend at the Worldview Conference. We met and talked with many great people. Ryan, a young man who graduated from Indiana University and now works for Liberty University, was a major blessing to Travis and I. He is now back in Indiana, maybe on the IU campus. I feel so good knowing that another Christian Conservative came out of IU.
Also we talked with a man by the name of Josh who worked for Summit Ministries. It is now official. Josh talked with Dr. David Noebel and we will be attending the first session of Summit from May 22-June 3rd. We will be going out there a week before it starts to help them get things ready for the students and meet some of their people. We are now working odd jobs to help pay for the cost, but mostly scholarships and working will pay for it.
We also talked to Josh and Brannon, who is the president of Worldview Weekend and American Family Policy Institute, until 1:30 in the morning Saturday night. Brannon is an amazing guy who is well connected in the Evangelical circle. He is actually best friends with Michael Reagan. Brannon gave us good advice to focus in on our message and our goals. He is going to try to help us get launched. He actually was the literary promoter of Michael Reagan's new book and told us to send a copy of our book to his editor and they may be able to get things rolling for us. Also, Brannon really wants us to attend Summit as well. When he found out that we are $6,000 in debt to Kanakuk Institute he said that he would try to help us out. That would be a major blessing. So prayerfully in the future Brannon and us can work together to further the Lord Jesus Christ's Kingdom.
Today we worked all day long. We are working at Lilley's Landing helping them get ready for summer season, working for Farris Law Group helping them do yardwork for their property and now we are cutting grass for our dear friend Chris Myer. We are trying to work hard in order to have enough money to make it out to Las Vegas for Freedom Fest and gas money to travel to Colorado Springs for Summit Ministries and then on back home to Indiana. On top of all this we still have debt to pay for Kanakuk Institute which we are trying to pay off. The Lord has been good for providing opportunities to work. Please pray for us and our financial situation. We know the Lord Jesus Christ will be able to put it all together.
If you believe in our ministry and our calling, please consider supporting us. You can do so by sending a check to the following, which is a non-profit 501-3(c) organization that will allow your contributions to be tax-exempt.
