Help Rebuild God’s House– Crystal Cathedral Ministry!

O
ver the last 42 years, we have heard millions of persons say, “Dr. Schuller, your ministry saved my life!” Now, we call upon YOU to help save the life of this ministry! As you may know, on October 18, 2010, Crystal Cathedral Ministries filed for the protection of chapter 11. As the economy trended down rapidly over the last two years, the services and goods that our vendors provided could not be cancelled fast enough. Even though we finished 2010 with a revenue surplus and the court is pleased with our progress, it was not enough to pay back any of our vendor debt. We can honor God and our debt to our vendors and, in the process, rebuild this magnificent, life-saving ministry. And we need YOU to help! To keep Hour of Power on the air in your home and the homes of millions of others, any gift that you’re able to give toward our ministry’s vendor debt, must be an EXTRA gift—above and beyond any current generous level of giving that you are already providing. Join the “Rebuilding the Faith” campaign today! (See enclosed “action slip” for details.) Our goal in one year’s time is to raise the $7.5 million owed. We will do it— together—and here’s how (see graph, right):

She told me how she was married for three and a half years, and how her husband was unfaithful to her, and beat her up. She said, “I thought to myself, ‘If I can’t beat him, I’ll join him.’ So, I started running around.” Then, of course, the

hen the melody goes out of life, when the sun is gone, when the bell no longer rings, life is flat and dull, when you’ve lost enthusiasm for living and no longer have a dream, what do you do?

Perhaps you need to rebuild a marriage that has crumbled under the pressures of life. Maybe you need to rebuild your credit rating after the hits of this Great Recession. Or, you’re rebuilding your health after battling a debilitating, even life-threatening disease. Perhaps you need to rebuild what seems like your entire life. If so, then pray this prayer with me today: “Lord, You are the author, the breath of life. You conquered death. Breathe new life into me today. Resurrect my courage and my dreams. Rebuild my life today—for You and for Your glory! Amen.”
