[Guest guest]

-------Original Message------- From: Stacie T Date: 3/16/2009 12:44:27 PM : As April draws near many parents are looking for ways to invite their family and friends to join with them in Autism Awareness projects. One of my favorites it the Children Of Destiny TURNING THE TIDE!This project is especially appealing for those who are looking for ways to share with their church family. Last year I printed this brochure and had it inserted in my church bulletin one weekend in April. Unlocking Autism has other bulletin inserts that we will be glad to share with you if you request them from me.Unlocking Autism also has Awareness projects to share that can be used in other venues as well. No matter what your walk in life, I am sure we can find a project for you!Please take time to download this brochure and see the incredible Autism Awareness outreach it gives you as a tool in April and any time!Children of Destiny is pleased to announce the second annualTurning the Tide!A Prayer Thrust for Autism Awareness MonthApril, 2009Join us and thousands from around the world as we come together in a unified concert of prayer to see the tide of autism turned!Since the early '90s, autism, which was once considered to be a rare disease, exploded within the human population. With each passing year greater numbers of innocent children are diagnosed. The epidemic has grown to a staggering 1 in every 150 births. Today, as you read this, it is conservatively estimated that over 100 children will be diagnosed with autism worldwideMedical establishments, educational systems, and governmental structures have been overwhelmed as wave after wave of autism diagnoses keep pounding the shores of many nations. But no one is as completely engulfed as the family whose precious child -- or children -- are swept away by autism. They deal not only with the devastating behavioral and social dysfunction, but also with financial, medical, educational, spiritual, and relational issues affecting the whole family.We at Children of Destiny believe that now is the time to join together in corporate prayer to see the relentless tide of autism turned back once and for all! The Bible says that God "heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" (Ps. 147:3).Another passage promises that, "the earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results" ( 5:16). We believe that the power of our prayers are greatly increased as we join corporately to beseech the Lord.We have put together a calendar giving each day's topic, Scripture references, and a prayer focus for everyone joining us in this thrust. We encourage those who are praying to use this calendar and to check back to our web site each day in April for a more complete list of Scriptures and detailed prayer points.For more information, or to view and download the April prayer calendar, please visit www.childrenofdesti ny.org/turning_ the_tide. asp..We welcome responses to this email!Please join us as we come together in prayer to turn the tide!With blessings,Jack and SytsemaP.S. We welcome distribution of this information and of the prayer calendar to email lists, churches, autism awareness/parents' meetings or wherever there may be those who are interested in praying to see the tide of autism turned!JOIN THE NEW UNLOCKING AUTISM MAILING LIST BY GOING TO: www.unlockingautism .org and clicking on Email Sign Up....your subscription to the mailing list will end soon!FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERSUnlocking AutismNational Vaccine Information CenterOn Sale at gfMeals.com!Welcome to FoggyRockiAbida - Individual Communication ManagementWelcome to Nordic NaturalsSocial Skills Training Videos & DVD::Autism: :Aspergers: :Developmental DelaysSpectrum Magazine HomeAVON Representative JEANNIE CUNNINGHAM serving the Byron, GA areaInterested in becoming an Unlocking Autism Sponsor?
