It is now less than 1 week before this prime time media campaign starts to put the name of Jesus out into every community across NSW. It has been estimated that at least 80% of the population of NSW will hear the prime time television ads at least 10 times over the campaign period – what a fantastic opportunity for every Christian to share their faith with non Christian friends, neighbours and workmates who will be more open to discuss faith issues as a result of the campaign.
Continue to pray that hearts will be open to respond to the message presented through TV, print media, cinema, outdoor advertising and the internet.
In preparation for the campaign please set aside time for prayer over the weekend of the 12th and 13th of September. Plan to run a prayer vigil (12 hours or 24 hours in duration) or simply include specific times for prayer for the campaign over that weekend. Ask God to prepare the hearts of your Church family to be open to God’s direction that He will lead you to the people in your community who need to hear about Jesus.

I think everyone's heard of Jesus.. They've heard and each and every year they're believing less and less. That's because after 2000 odd years there's nothing more substantial than "the bible says the bible is true" which isn't any proof whatsoever. Islam can make a similar claim about their beliefs ("the qur'an says so so it must be true") as can any religion.
Prayer has been shown time and time again to be absolutely ineffectual. But by all means spend as much time doing it as possible and wasting money on advertising. In the meantime I'll spend my money on secular charities that actually do charity work (e.g. Fred Hollows foundation, Oxfam) and not spend money on trying to convince people to accept a bunch of lies like church groups do.
Aren't you old enough to not need imaginary friends?
