Praying for Opportunities!!...

WOW, its been awhile since I last posted anything. =( Sorry about that. 

   Ok, I just wanted to update you a bit of what my family and I will be up to the next month or so. My younger brothers, Collin (11), and Cian (9) play on on a Little League baseball team, and my dad is head coach for the next four years. Because of this, I am going to be keeping book, which I am rejoicing about because I love baseball, and working with the boys!! 

   This season my family is looking, and praying for opportunities to share Christ with the boys on the team, and their families. Please pray that we come across opportunities, and when they come that we would be bold enough to speak out for Christ. There are so many hurting families that need to hear the gospel, and need hope. And we as Christians have the hope, and peace that passes all understanding.

   So that is our mission throughout this baseball season. Again, please pray for my family as we interact with many families - that we would share the gospel with them, and impact them for Christ.

Update and Prayer Request

Hi All!



I know it's been a while, and for that, I aplogize! But honestly, there hasn't been really anything to post...up until now. Please read this and join Mr. Van Zant in his fight against abortion through the power of prayer!

Dear Friend,

This e-mail is praise to God coupled with an urgent request. I'll write more later but for now, I'll be brief as we in Florida's House of Representatives have an opportunity we must grasp

right now to advance the cause for Florida's unborn and to set an example for our Nation.

Today, just a few hours ago, Florida's Senate voted to attach the Sonogram Bill language plus the Hyde Amendment language to Senate Bill 1143. This is greater progress toward protecting Florida's unborn than has been known to our state legislature in 38 years.

Specifically, this bill will do two things. First, it will require that pregnant mothers will be given an opportunity to see their unborn child before an abortion. Alone, it is expected that this requirement will provide life for thousands of Florida's unborn. Secondly, the Hyde language will prevent tax dollars from funding abortions in our state.

All of this is great, but the fight is only 1/3 over. To stand as law, this bill must pass in the House of Representatives and be signed into law by our Governor. We need your help now...please help!

Would you accept the challenge to do three things, without delay? One, would you just pray and thank our Heavenly Father for this great progress and ask that this bill become law. Second, please prepare a short e-mail in your own words and send to your State Representative plus any other State Representatives you choose. Third, please forward this e-mail from me to your own e-mail list as this will greatly expand the number of e-mails that House Members receive.

The e-mail addresses for all 120 Representatives in Florida are are included at the end of this message for your convenience.

Now, what to write to the State Representatives....simply ask each one to vote yes on Senate Bill 1143 that will be placed before them for a vote on Thursday or Friday. Add any comments you want, but a short message is easier to understand.

Again, in behalf of Florida's unborn, thank you. May our Lord continually bless you in all you accomplish for Him.

Sincerely,

Charles Van Zant

State Representative
