"When many people each do a little, together we can accomplish great feats for God."

Dear Daily Encounter Subscriber,

I'm not a movie buff but I do enjoy a good movie from time to time—especially ones based on true stories that reflect real life. I'm not a big fan of watching the Oscars either with all the Hollywood glamour, glory and glitz, but at the last Oscar night I did watch.

What "grabbed" my attention wasn't who won what awards but the fact that all these "famous" stars who thrill to the glory of their moment of fame, if they don't know Jesus as their Savior, their glamor and glory isn't worth a red cent in terms of eternity. Without Jesus they are eternally lost—forever. What a tragedy for as God's Word says: "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul" (Mark 8:36)?

Equally tragic is the fact that every other person in the entire world is also eternally lost if he or she doesn't know Jesus as his or her personal Savior, no matter what their standing in life. If you have never accepted Jesus as Your Savior, I urge you to do that today. for help Click HERE for How to Be Sure You're a Real Christian.

The good news is that you and I are in a unique position in today's computerized world to be able to reach out and, together, reach mega thousands of people with the saving message of Jesus Christ—the only hope for lost mankind and so many ills in today's sin-sick world.

Alarming News
If you haven't read Chuck Colson's last Tuesday's Breakpoint on "Chilling Free Speech," I urge you to do so (see his link below). As Colson points out, what is happening here in California today is absolutely alarming. The people who supported Proposition 8 (the California initiative banning same-sex "marriage") are being targeted with all sorts of brutal harassment—including death threats. This is the same tactic that preceded Hitler's taking over of Germany.

As noted earlier, a grass roots people power network had a mighty influence in helping to get the current U.S. president elected. It was an incredible and powerful idea. Today we urgently need a vastly different grass roots people power movement—one to spread the message of Jesus Christ across the street, across the country and around the world; that is, a People Power for Jesus grass roots network.

So today I am asking you to do two things:

First, If you haven't already joined with us as a People Power for Jesus network partner, will you prayerfully consider doing that today. You can see what is involved online at the People Power for Jesus website. It is all incredibly easy.

And Second, Daily Encounter now has 254,000+ worldwide subsribers. Imagine the incredible impact we could have on the world if every subscriber joined the People Power for Jesus grass roots network!

Individually we can't do a great lot, but working together we can have a mighty impact. So I urge you again, will you please join with us to have a part in the People Power for Jesus grass roots network. Click HERE to join. Your information will never be given to any other person, organization, or business as we have a very strict privacy policy.

Also, be sure to pray every day: "Dear God, I am available again today. Please use me to be 'as Jesus' in some way to every life I touch today." As you do, may God richly bless, use, and reward you in his own abundant way.

Sincerely in Christ,



Richard (Dick ) Innes
