Military

Most people are not aware that some people who serve to protect our freedoms in the U.S. military are not citizens of the United States. I was one such example. Serving in the flight school that trained flight crew for the B52 Stratofortress Bomber and KC135 Tanker. Those were some very exciting times!

During my first 3 years in the USAF I was a citizen of The United Kingdom. During my last year I did become a U.S. citizen.

Along these lines I'm so grateful that I did not have to meet certain conditions before I could join the family of God. I did not have to change before 'signing up' to be a Christian. Although I eventually left the military, I will always be a veteran. I have no plans to leave the family of God, and I signed-up for life - I will always be a Christian!

What Are The Results Of Prayer

How long do pastors pray daily:
America - 22-39 min
Japan - 44 min
Korea - 90 min
China - 120 min

It's not surprising that the growth rate of churches in each of these countries is directly proportional to the amount of time pastors are spending in prayer.
