once suffered with the highest teenage\r\nsuicide rate per capita in the nation.\u00a0 As Ed <span class=SpellE>Silvoso<\/span>\r\nshared with the business community, the churches, and the local political\r\nleaders, they took seriously the message of setting aside their differences,\r\ntheir religious doctrines and their political preferences in exchange for the\r\nGospel and sharing it in very personal ways -- in the bank (praying with bank\r\ncustomers who were experiencing problems), in the restaurant (waitresses and\r\nwaiters sharing with customers), in the public schools, at the car dealerships,\r\nthe fast food places, the department stores, and you name it!<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span

class=GramE>Pastors<\/span>\r\nand church leaders discovered that their doctrinal differences didn't mean\r\nsquat in God's economy!\u00a0 They learned how to set aside those differences\r\nin order to fast and pray over the town, over its leaders, over its\r\nbusinesspeople, over the schools and the educational system.\u00a0 People began\r\nto work together, pray together, play together and do business together as\r\nthough the town was nothing more than one large family.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span

have.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:\"Garamond\",\"serif\";mso-bidi-font-family:\r\nArial;color:#663300'>At age eighteen, David joined the Army and thought to make\r\nthe military a career.\u00a0 He quickly began to rise through the ranks.\u00a0\r\nAt age 23, he was sent to fight in Vietnam.\u00a0 As the months of conflict\r\nwore on, he saw the deliverance and protection of the Lord repeatedly.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:\"Garamond\",\"serif\";mso-bidi-font-family:\r\nArial;color:#663300'>A day came when he was

being\r\nkilled one after another.\u00a0 They were caught in a crossfire from which\r\nthere was no escape.\u00a0 Lying flat on the ground, David cried out to the\r\nLord.\u00a0 \"Lord, if you will get me out of this conflict alive and\r\nintact, I'll do whatever you want me to do.\u00a0 I'll be whatever you want me\r\nto be.\u00a0 I'll go wherever you want me to

made\r\nin the heat of battle when death is imminent.\u00a0 He meant it when he said\r\nit, but when he thought about it later, he never really expected God to take\r\nhim up on it.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:\"Garamond\",\"serif\";mso-bidi-font-family:\r\nArial;color:#663300'>As suddenly as the crossfire from the two Viet Cong

hiding places or foxholes and realized that not\r\neveryone had been killed.\u00a0 No one knew why the VC had suddenly stopped\r\nfiring on them -- and to this day, none of them have any answers.\u00a0 They\r\njust knew that somehow, by some miracle of God, they lived to tell the tale and\r\nfight another day.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span

receded into the background, and there was no\r\ntap on his shoulder from the Holy Spirit reminding him of it.\u00a0 Understand,\r\nof course, that David had grown up in a nominally Christian home where the\r\nfamily had gone to church on Sunday, sang the hymns and gospel songs, paid\r\ntheir tithes and all that, but lacked in any evidence in their lives of the\r\ngrace, mercy, love, power and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:\"Garamond\",\"serif\";mso-bidi-font-family:\r\nArial;color:#663300'>Nearly two decades passed after David's return from\r\nVietnam.\u00a0 Both parents died, his father first, and then in 1989 or 1990\r\nhis mother.\u00a0 When she died, she left David a vast estate worth perhaps several\r\nhundred million dollars.\u00a0 Meanwhile, David in is own right, had developed\r\nhis own talents for investing and trading in real estate and was on his way to\r\nmaking his own fortune independently of his inheritance.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:\"Garamond\",\"serif\";mso-bidi-font-family:\r\nArial;color:#663300'>A day came when he awoke early
