Media coverage

First of all, I would like to publicly thank the Wilkes-Barre Twp. Police Department for the tactful way in which they showed their presence at last evening's prayer meeting across from Luzerne County's newest strip club. The W-B Twp. Police force works hard and we were very thankful for their presence. I hope they feel that we conducted ourselves in a manner that was respectful toward them. Their job is hard enough so we didn't want them to have to worry about our safety, in addition to their many other responsibilities.

I watched the news coverage on WBRE and WYOU last night. According to both stations, "about 50 people gathered for prayer." The number was closer to 200. We gave out 100 t-shirts, and then ran out. We also handed out 200 programs. 50 people? Just look at some of the pictures we'll be posting and do the count.

Here is a copy of the Citizen's Voice article from this morning's paper. I think their coverage of this issue is fair. I also wanted to include a link to the Times Leader's article which also was very good, but I couldn't find it on their website.

To the employees and patrons of local strip clubs. I realize that you probably aren't super crazy about us, but please be assured that you are in our prayers just the same. Many of us have come out of the same kind of lifestyles that you are currently living in. We have lived on both sides of this coin. Our prayer is that through this process, you will discover that there is a better way to live. Today is Easter. Jesus Christ came to offer us freedom through faith in Him. Our prayer is that you experience the freedom that He offers. Pray about this. No one wants to see you caught in this form of social and spiritual bondage any longer.

With love for the people of Luzerne County,
200+ Mr. Families
