We are now back in Indiana. We made it safely in our travels from Colorado Springs. & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; &nbs p;   ; & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; &nbs p;   ; & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; &nbs p;   ;
Our three weeks out at Colorado Springs and Summit Ministries was amazing. There were so many staunch conservatives there who are passionately dedicated to engaging our culture and changing America. & nbsp; While we were in Colorado Springs, we met with Leon Wirth, the director of communications and marketing for Christian Booksellers Association. We got the chance to sit down with him and discuss our upcoming book. He was really excited about it and wanted to help us out in any way he can. Prayerfully, our books will be promoted in all 3,000 Christian bookstores nationwide. & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; &nbs p;   ; & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; &nbs p;   ; & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; &nbs p;   ;
Also, we got the opportunity to meet with Focus on the Family. Our dear friend Jerry Lilley from Branson was able to attend the National Day of Prayer in Washington, D.C. with Dr. James Dobson. He told Dr. Dobson all about Travis and I and made the connection with Ron Reno, Dr. Dobson's right hand man. We met with Mr. Reno and eventually was directed to a show producer John Tracey. We met with Mr. Tracey in the studio and shared with him our personal testimony. He recorded it and prayerfully will use it on the show sometime soon. As we came out of the studio booth he told us that we were a "Breath of Fresh Air." I just smiled at him and nodded. He wasn't the first person to tell us that. Several people have, including the wife of Don Wildmon, President of American Family Association. & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; &nbs p;   ; & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; &nbs p;   ; & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp;
Afterwards, he said that it sounds like we should be making a book. Then we told him that we do have a book coming out. He got really excited about that. Then he took us over to the giftstore and allowed us to get any resource we needed for our ministry. We didn't know what to get, so of course, we got a Bible (New American Standard Bible). He told the lady working there that we have a book coming out and she said that she couldn't wait and that their giftstore would promote it. & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; &nbs p;   ;
Then we got the chance to talk to a gentleman named Todd, who helps run Wilberforce Statesman in Colorado. It is an organization that keeps Colorado statesman accountable to their conservative base. Todd also works for Summit Ministries so he told Dr. David Noebel about us. Then Dr. Noebel let us talk in class to all of the 180 students present. We gave our speech and everybody got excited. Prayerfully, the students at Summit and Summit Ministries will be a big part of The Draft Pence Movement. There are well over 1,000 solid Christian Conservative leaders who go through that program every year. & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; &nbs p;   ; & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; &nbs p;   ;
Our time out in Colorado Springs was amazing. We met great people that prayerfully will be our friends for a lifetime. Our good friend Jon Arnold who was our roomate said he has a buddy in Virginia who makes films for PBS. He is a conservative and may be willing to make a documentary or short film about The Draft Pence Movement to show on college campuses and churches nationwide. So please pray for this opportunity as well. & nbsp; &n bsp;
Ok, we are leaving for Washington, D.C. tomorrow. We will be attending the Eagle Forum Collegiate Summit and then staying out there for a Leadership Institute workshop. Hopefully we will be able to meet and talk with other conservatives out there in D.C. Please pray for us and our upcoming schedule. Pray for contacts and our protection. & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp; &nbs p;
We will be back in Indiana in mid or late June. Hopefully we will be able to get to a computer by then. If not, please be patient with us. & nbsp; &n bsp; &nb sp;
God Bless
