Dear Friend, Last week we experienced the amazing power of nature. As we pray with and witness the pain of all the families affected by Hurricane Charley, we are once again reminded just how frail we are as humans. One day we enjoy all the beauty and warmth that a summer day brings to Florida, and within twenty four hours we see nature’s fury expressed in its greatest power – a hurricane’s devastation. Hurricane Charley did not make a distinction between the large homes on Sanibel Island and the trailer parks in Port Charlotte. Whether weak or strong, rich or poor, all will yield to God’s ultimate expression of power through nature. The apostle Paul reminds us that God has revealed Himself to the entire world through nature. Our life is so frail, yet it has such infinite potential that at times it does not make any sense outside of the belief that there is an amazing God who loves His humanity. I look back through my life and many times I drop to my knees with tears flowing from within my heart as I ask God, “Why me Lord? Why did you love me so much that you spared me from death so many times? Why do you love me so much and grant me so much favor when all I did was make you cry?” I cannot answer these questions now, and I may never have an answer. On September 3, 2004 I will be recording a national prime time television program called Faith Under Fire with host Lee Strobel. This program will air on September 25, 2004, and it has the potential to bring Coming Clean Ministries to an amazing new level. Please pray that we will be ready as a ministry to discern among all the opportunities that a television program like this will bring. Pray that we can even answer all the e-mails that will come our way! Pray that I remain grounded in His truth and that I represent my Lord in a manner that will please Him. My friend, God is awesome and He has a plan for each and every one of us. I believe that God does not make His plan transparent to us until He sees where our heart is, and how humble we are before Him. As God continues to pour His favor upon CCM, it is my prayer that we remain humble and available to Him. God has positioned our ministry to impact the world for Him. He has granted us amazing before our modern day kings. It is my prayer that I follow my dear friend David Mainz’ advice when he said that as long as tears flow from your eyes, your heart will remain tender. Please pray for Coming Clean Ministries, my family, and especially my children from my previous marriages. Pray for Sujey as she supports God’s call on my life. Pray for wisdom and unity for all involved at Coming Clean Ministries, and pray that we will discern where He wants us to go and what He wants us to do. God bless, Jorge Founder and Speaker P.S. Alert Prayer Warriors! I have just accepted an invitation to participate in a nationally televised debate regarding the legalization of drugs on Faith Under Fire, a new talk/debate show debuting on PAX TV this fall. The host, Lee Strobel, is a best selling author and former award-winning Chicago Tribune legal editor.
