150 Women Who Shake the World

2011-03-15T00:00:00-06:00

It's the banner above the title for the March 14 edition of Newsweek.

And it includes some fascinating women-undoubtedly all of them deserving of the "honorable mention."

What's more fascinating is those women not included. Names like Joni Tada, Anne Graham Lotz, Nancy Leigh DeMoss, Vonette Bright, Elizabeth George, Emilie Barnes, LuAnne Crane and many other women we could name! These women shake the world every day to thousands who listen to their programs, thousands more who read their books and blogs and hear them speak in venues around the world.

Newsweek promises "this year and every year" to honor these women! So we'll do the same-just in case they miss a few!

FAST FACTS NRB has cleared the way with the FCC for special waivers for non-commercial stations wishing to conduct fundraising campaigns. Go to nrb.org for more information. At leat a third of the more than 65,000 Compassion sponsored children have been affected by the earthquake. (Images of Child Development Centers in Haiti) Communications in and out of Haiti are almost non-existent right now. 45,000 to 50,000 are reported dead, over 3 million affected. 80% of Haiti’s 9 million residents live in poverty. Port-au-Prince is home to 2 million people, many of whom live in poorly constructed shanties. The airport in Port au Prince does not have the capacity or resources to support the number of relief planes entering the country. Samaritan’s Purse had to turn back three planes carrying aid workers and supplies. Franklin Graham said, “We're looking at taking a ship out of Fort Lauderdale (Florida), and putting everything on the ship. It'll take two days to get there, but I'm afraid it's going to take longer to try and go through the airport." The American Red Cross's efforts to get donations via text messages has raised $5 million for Haiti as of 5:00 PM Thursday. That exceeds the nearly $4 million that was donated to all charities by mobile texts in all of 2009. The FBI is warning Americans to be wary of appeals to help recovery efforts in Haiti.

				Continue Praying After travel delays due to lack of space at airport, HCJB Global Hands medical team has arrived in Port Au Prince. They will relieve medical workers who have been serving since the earthquake hit on Tuesday. Dan Woolley, a Compassion International employee who was visiting Haiti has been found alive after being trapped in an elevator shaft. Rescuers are still looking for one of Dan's partners with the group. Revive Our Hearts team members are continuing with plans made weeks ago to visit the Dominican Republic. They are getting footage of Christ-following women for showing at True Woman conferences in 2010. “As the after shocks of this quake continue to be felt across Haiti, our goal is that waves of compassion will continue to be felt in the days, weeks, months and years ahead.” --Compassion President Wess Stafford "Once again a devastating tragedy affords the human race an opportunity to put aside relatively unimportant matters that so easily consume us and focus in a concerted effort on doing whatever is possible to bring help to desperate people and it will offer even more challenges to the Christian church to follow our calling to be lovers of neighbors practically, sacrificially and joyfully. --Stuart Briscoe ("Telling the Truth") Prayer requests?

Birthday for National Day of Prayer's Founder

2009-07-03T00:00:00-06:00

Decisions which are made in the light of God's Word are stable and show wisdom. --Vonette Bright

Recently celebrating a birthday, Vonette Bright's impact on the US is one we certainly all feel as a result of her efforts with the National Day of Prayer.

Concerned for the moral and spiritual values of our nation and the world, Vonette founded the Great Commission Prayer Crusade in 1972. This later became a ministry of Campus Crusade. Her deep commitment to prayer also led to the formation of the National Prayer Committee, a group of leaders who seek to motivate other Christians to unite in prayer for spiritual awakening.

As Chair of the National Day of Prayer in 1988, Vonette successfully introduced legislation that was unanimously approved by both houses of Congress to make the first Thursday of every May a permanent date for the National Day of Prayer. Today, millions of people unite each year to pray across the country. The 2010 day of Prayer is Thursday, May 6.

Women Today was launched in 1993 under the direction of Vonette, co-founder with husband, Dr. Bill Bright, of Campus Crusade for Christ International. With an emphasis on practical spiritual insight, her daily one-minute feature encourages women to live fully for Christ, impacting the world in which they live and serve.

Vonette Bright can speak directly to women in today's society. She's a mom and grandmother, and was a wife of 55 years to Dr. Bill Bright. Vonette Bright has the special talents and life experience for ministering to all women.

Among her other work, Mrs. Bright has co-authored (with Nancy Moser) the Sister Circle series with its accompanying studies and Discovery Diaries, and is well-known for The Joy of Hospitality, co-authored with Barbara Ball, which includes a supplementary cookbook. Mrs. Bright also wrote The Woman Within, a practical application of the Holy Spirit.

"Women Today" is represented by Ambassador Advertising Agency, located in Irvine (CA). AAA has been privileged to serve as a leader in Christian broadcasting since 1959. The AAA team supports more than 20 ministry partners, each dedicated to communicating Truth and its practical application for today's culture. With the platform of a nearly 50-year legacy, a core objective at Ambassador is to utilize its media expertise, combined with innovative technology, to maximize Kingdom impact.
