I am seeking prayer support for myself in a new endeavor I have embarked upon.
The middle of last week I was appointed as a Legislative Ambassador for the California District of the American Cancer Society. It is both an honor and rather humbling. I anticipate being very active in the position. My main function will be to keep in contact with elected officials from the local Mayor on up to the Congress of the United States about issues concerning cancer.
I am also now the Advocacy Chair for the Santa Maria Relay For Life. IN fact I have two meetings to attend next week already in that capacity.
In Christ,
George

Amen, Bro. George, how exciting. May the Lord use this "endeavor" to open door for being an encouragment to those with cancer and their families and a chance to share Christ and his power to transform lives in the midst of cancer care.
Amen!

I humbly thank you all for your well-wishes and prayers. The first meeting went extremely well. I have another to go to this Friday and other things pertaining to the position today and Saturday.
I am also heading up a petition drive here in Santa Maria. The American Cancer Society has a large drive going to get enough signatures gathered to put an initiative on the ballot in November. It is called the California Cancer Research Act. What it will accomplish is raising the tax on a pack of cigarettes by a dollar. It is estimated the new tax will raise 23 billion dollars. All of that money will go to cancer research, education and treatment. Believe it or not, California has one of the lowest ciagrette taxes in the nation. We aim to "fix" that.
In Christ,
George
