Dear friends
A
few anniversaries that you
might find of interest.
One. Just a bit over 5 years
ago I started my action
emails. Thus far around
560 have gone out. That
is around 112 a year, or
over 2 a week. That means
a lot of issues have been
presented for your attention,
prayer or action. (Mind
you, there have been many
other issues I wanted to
bring to your attention
as well, but I have had
to curtail these emails,
so as not to overburden
you with way too much stuff!)
But the war we are in does
not let up, and battles
are taking place everyday.
Thanks for being involved.
Nearly one year ago I started
my web site. It now has
nearly 600 articles on it,
in 44 different categories.
It also has nearly 1400
comments on it. It seems
to have done well, with
over 200 people a day viewing
CultureWatch, and with over
400 articles viewed each
day. These people come from
all over the world. I have
had people from China, India,
Uganda, Mongolia, and Finland
visit my site, to name but
a few countries. Of course
most visitors are from Australia,
the US, and Europe. It is
my prayer that this website
is performing a much needed
service, in providing Christian
commentary on the issues
of the day, and helping
us act on matters of importance.
The visitors to it have
been both friends and enemies.
Many atheists groups seem
to monitor my writings on
a daily basis. Richard Dawkins
and other atheists have
links to my website. I guess
this site is doing some
good if it is attracting
so much attention, and at
times, hostility, anger
and venom.
Three. I have been involved
in the pro-faith, pro-family
and pro-life battles for
over 15 years now. When
I first joined the AFA in
1992, the late BA Santamaria
said I should try to get
in the media a lot, and
suggested I keep a record
of those media appearances.
That I have done. For those
of you who are interested,
I have had around 2,500
media hits in those years.
I have had around 100 TV
interviews, and almost 400
radio appearances. I have
had over 200 letters to
the editor printed. I have
had some 600 comments appear
in the nation's press. And
nearly 600 articles of mine
have appeared in various
magazines and periodicals.
I have had over 200 internet
hits (where I post something
on the Net. There are far
more than this with people
attacking me on the web.
Thousands of hits come up
when you type my name in
Google. I even have my own
Wikipedia entry!). I have
done some 300 speaking engagements
during this period.
So
life has been busy. But
for those of you who are
supporting me and this ministry,
whether by prayer, action,
or financial support, I
wanted to let you know that
things have been happening,
and hopefully a real impact
for Christ and his kingdom
has been occurring.
So
thanks for sticking with
me and your very valuable
support. I list these achievements,
not to stroke my own ego,
but to let you know that
because of your support
and encouragement (and of
course with God's help),
I have been able to stay
the course, and fight the
good fight.
Many
thanks again
