Children of Destiny is pleased to announce:

Turning the Tide!
A Prayer Thrust for Autism Awareness Month

April, 2008



Join us and thousands from around the world as we come together in a unified concert of prayer
to see the tide of autism turned!

Since the early '90s, autism, which was once considered to be a rare disease, exploded within the human population. With each passing year greater numbers of innocent children are diagnosed. The epidemic has grown to a staggering 1 in every 150 births. Today, as you read this, it is conservatively estimated that over 100 children will be diagnosed with autism worldwide

Medical establishments, educational systems, and governmental structures have been overwhelmed as wave after wave of autism diagnoses keep pounding the shores of many nations. But no one is as completely engulfed as the family whose precious child -- or children -- are swept away by autism. They deal not only with the devastating behavioral and social dysfunction, but also with financial, medical, educational, spiritual, and relational issues affecting the whole family.

We at Children of Destiny believe that now is the time to join together in corporate prayer to see the relentless tide of autism turned back once and for all! The Bible says that God "heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" (Ps. 147:3).

Another passage promises that, "the earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results" (Jas 5:16). We believe that the power of our prayers are greatly increased as we join corporately to beseech the Lord.

We have put together a calendar giving each day's topic, Scripture references, and a prayer focus for everyone joining us in this thrust.. We encourage those who are praying to use this calendar and to check back to our web site each day in April for a more complete list of Scriptures and detailed prayer points.

We welcome responses to this email!

Please join us as we come together in prayer to turn the tide!
