Information overload! It’s something I struggle with daily. Sometimes in the midst of the bombardment of emails I want to scream, “I don’t care. Just leave me alone!” And yet the fact is that I DO care, and I think it is vitally important to be informed about the things that really matter.
While many emails are deleted because the information they provide is not on my “need to know” list, the emails I receive daily from ASSIST News are not among them. Dan Wooding and his team of journalists provide critical information about the needs of our brothers and sisters around the world who are facing persecution for their faith in Jesus Christ. Other articles address news that impacts us as Christians – news that more than likely will not be reported elsewhere.
See below to learn how you can receive a free subscription to the important service that ASSIST News provides. And please prayerfully consider coming to the August 10-13 Greater Philadelphia Christian Writers Conference where Dan will keynote Friday evening. In addition, he will lead a special two-hour session on Saturday, August 13, to address the needs of the estimated 100 million Christians worldwide who suffer interrogation, arrest, and even death for their faith in Christ, with millions more facing discrimination and alienation.
Father, You know how overwhelmed we get with the information that confronts us daily. Give us discernment to invest our time in becoming informed about the issues that matter to You and help us to make a difference.
ASSIST News Service (ANS) – PO Box 609, Lake Forest, CA 92609-0609 USA Visit our web site at: www.assistnews.net — E-mail: assistnews@aol.com Thursday, March 24, 2011International journalist Dan Wooding offers free subscription to unique news serviceFor Immediate Release Contact: Dan Wooding assistnews@aol.com www.assistnews.net LAKE FOREST, CA (ANS) — International journalist, Dan Wooding, is offering media outlets, Christian leaders, and anyone else who wants “to keep up with world news and how it affects Christians,” a free subscription to the ASSIST News Service (ANS). Wooding, 70, began this unique service, that carries unique news about the persecution of Christians around the world, missions, features on inspiring people and popular culture, some 20 years ago. It is based in Lake Forest, California. With a team of talented writers stationed in some of the world’s hot-spots including India, Pakistan and Egypt, ANS brings up-to-date news stories right into people’s in-boxes. Many of these stories are carried widely by the Christian media and have also been picked up by secular media including USA Today, the Washington Times, The Minneapolis Tribune-Star, the New York Post, Paul Harvey, WorldNet Daily, The Fox News Channel and the Los Angeles Times. Wooding has been a journalist now since 1968 and has worked for two of the UK’s top-selling newspapers, been an interviewer for the BBC in London, and now also has a weekly radio show in America called Front Page Radio and a monthly Internet TV show called His Channel live. What makes Wooding and his team of writers unusual is the fact that none of them get a salary for their media ministry – they each raise their own support and look upon themselves as “Media Missionaries.” Rick Warren, senior pastor of Saddleback Church, Lake Forest, California, one of America’s largest churches, and author of “The Purpose Driven Life,” has provided an endorsement for Dan Wooding’s autobiography, “From Tabloid to Truth,” which is one of his 44 books. Warren said, “Dan Wooding has lived one of the most amazing and exciting lives you could ever imagine.” If you would like a free subscription, just send Wooding an e-mail at assistnews@aol.com and give your name and e-mail address and he will add you to the list. Also, please feel free to tell your friends and colleagues about this free offer. However, please bear in mind that this is a news service, so you will be receiving several stories each day, many of which you will not read anywhere else. The website for ANS is www.assistnews.net and, by the way, your e-mail address will not be shared with anyone else and is only used to send you these ANS stories. ** You may republish this story with proper attribution. |
