ELECTION Considerations by Pastor Leonard
RUNNING FOR CONGRESS –
Sam Galucci was a very successful businessman when he accepted Christ and later entered the ministry. He is currently the lead pastor of Embrace Church in Oxnard (A Vinia member of the Missionary Church). Sam feels very strongly that God wants him to run for Congress. Pray for Sam and his wife Toni, and support him as the Lord leads you.
RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR –
Dr. Greg Albaugh – physician, Navy veteran, businessman, and patriot – is running for Governor of California. Tom and Judy Porter, members of our fellowship, are personal friends. You may contact them for more information.
CONCERNING PROPOSITION 50 –
Prayerfully study to understand the implications of Proposition 50, which, if approved, authorizes temporary changes to congressional district maps. A YES vote would replace current congressional district maps drawn by an independent citizens’ commission with proposed legislatively drawn congressional district maps. Voting NO would retain the current congressional district maps and allow the Citizens Redistricting Commission to continue to redraw maps following each census. The implications for our state are huge! Ask God to give you His wisdom and clarity!
