Christians' Call to Repentance moved to May 13

Ministries of New Life (MNL), a Leawood, Kan.–based prayer ministry, has released the location and new date of the CALL TO REPENTANCE. The event marks the third phase of a move by Kansas City’s Christians to restore the breach between Christians and the Jewish people, created by centuries of cruelty against the Jewish people.

CALL TO REPENTANCE and RECONCILIATION will be held at Kehilath Israel Synagogue, 10501 Conser St., Overland Park, Kan., on Tuesday, May 13, at 7 p.m.

“It will become a night to remember in the history of Kansas City,” stated Marilyn Griffin, founder of Ministries of New Life.

Griffin says that for several years she felt led through scriptures, dreams and a clear prophetic word that it was God’s heart and His timing that this CALL TO REPENTANCE should take place in the heartland of America. Christians whose hearts are stirred and anyone in the Jewish community who is interested in witnessing the event are invited to attend.

Kehilath Israel Synagogue Rabbi Herbert J. Mandl, Griffin, and others are planning the details of the event. Rabbi Mandl stated that the assembly would be a “very ecumenical kind of thing that everyone in the community will be comfortable with, from Orthodox to Reform.”

According to Griffin most of the liturgy will come from the Tanakh (Old Covenant) and will focus on honoring God and His covenant with Israel.

In preparation, Ministries of New Life has published a booklet titled “Teshuvah,” (Hebrew for repentance) which documents the history of Christian anti-semitism.

“Ninety-nine percent of Christians do not know this history. Our pastors don’t know it; the laity doesn’t know it,” Griffin said. “The ironic thing is that the Jewish people know it, and they think Christians know it. If they (Christians) did, there would be a lot more names (on the ad).”

The ads Griffin refers to were part of phase one and two of this move toward repentance by area Christians, who paid for full-page ads in the Kansas City Star on March 21– the Jewish festival of Purim and April 20–the Jewish Passover. The ads were signed and paid for by more than 250 individuals and Christian civic leaders acknowledging acts of Christian anti-semitism committed against the Jewish people through the centuries. Ads are also appearing in the Jewish Chronicle and Metro Voice. Griffin said it was a public way to “humble ourselves before the Almighty One and the Jewish people in confession and repentance of sins.”

A reception will follow the event and attendees must make reservations with Ministries of New Life or Kehilath Israel Synagogue.

Due to rising cases of anti-semitism, diligent security measures will be in place.

The Place To Go For Branson Hotels And Shows

Payday loans create vicious cycle

In the United States there are more than 22,000 short-term loan stores that lend about $40 billion. But the high interest rates and the frequency in which these stores have popped up in recent years have many people to be concerned.

Convoy of Hope tackling worldwide food crisis

Corn prices alone jumped 30 percent this year, reaching their highest price ever in April at over $6 a bushel; the price of rice has doubled in the last year. Worldwide, food prices are escalating to previously unimaginable levels. While Kansans and Missourians may respond to the higher prices with more selective grocery shopping or by tightening their belts, in third world countries where people already live with little or no margin, it’s a matter of life and death.

Cloners use MO courts to their advantage

October 15, 2007, I wrote a Metro Voice article explaining the deceptive wording used by the Missouri Secretary of State regarding the new Missouri Constitutional Amendment offered by the Cures Without Cloning organization whose intention is to end human embryonic stem cell cloning in the State. At that time, I wrote that Democrat Robin Carnahan, the Secretary of State, and her office submitted inaccurate deceiving ballot language in their written ballot summary in an effort to persuade voters to vote against the amendment.
