Partners 328: Summer Job for Students, Dallas Plemmons, Roger and Marion Copeland, $20/year phone, Free HD TV

Summer of Prayer: That's what some Hampton Road Christian leaders are sensing for this summer. This is a summer to pray, not primarily play. Serious things are in the works. Something is stirring in the Spirit. I sense that America's spiritual defenses are down. Odd and powerful things are happening: The bankruptcy of America's greatest auto giant, GM; the bankruptcy of California, the world's 8th largest economy ( now paying creditors with IOU's); the successful hacking of many of America's key government computers, the strange flood in the main tunnel to the Peninsula, etc. This is a summer to pray more---not less.

Dallas Plemmons: Dallas has been in public ministry for over 50 years,mainly as an evangelist. His story has been told on TV and in his book, "Hell in the Land of the Morning Calm". Former prizefighter for the US Army, former Chinese POW in the Korean War and global evangelist with a healing ministry, Dallas is a man's man who is now very ill at home in Virginia Beach. I encourage you to pray for him and his dear wife, Zonie, as Dallas struggles to recover from multiple strokes. Ask God to help Dallas live out his final days in health--as many as the Lord gives him. You can send words of encouragement to :
P.O. Box 2213, Virginia Beach VA 23450. Phone:
1-757-486-0001

Pastors Roger & Marion Copeland: After 30 years of ministry in Hampton roads, they are moving to Harrisonburg, VA to work with their son in a large Mennonite ministry there to the homeless of that region. Founder of Revival Life Church 12 years ago, the Copelands are leaving town on July 18. Messages can be sent to them at: roger@revivallife.org

Summer Jobs for Students: The McDonnell campaign is hiring paid interns to reach out (via door-to-door) to a targeted group of voters. The paid internship hours are Monday through Thursday from 5-8 pm and on Sundays from 2-5pm. The program runs though July and probably into early August. The compensation is $10.00 per hour. Contact cindyrhodes@cox.net

$20/yr Phone Service:
The MajicJack costs $40, plugs into your computer and includes a year's worth of unlimited local and long-distance calls. (Free international calls to other MagicJack users, too.) After that, you'll pay just $20 per year. I use this thing, and it works. Not perfect, but it works, with free voicemail messages emailed to you, caller ID, three-way-calling, 911 calls, etc. Can take on road with you. You can buy online, at Best Buy or WalMart.

Free HD TV: I got rid of Cox phone and use Magic jack for a home line ( as well as a cell). I also got rid of Cox Cable and get about 15 free over the air TV channels, some of them HD, by installing a high-gain UHF antennae in my attic. With a flat-screen TV, the picture is amazing and the savings from using Magic Jack and free TV will pay for the flat-screen TV.
