Our expectation could not have been higher. Last Friday, after months of very challenging work on The Promise campaign, members of your Christian Heritage Party National Executive alongside our Communications Marketing team were within the final two hours of the launch count-down. At 10 o’clock Friday morning, our marketing navigator was scheduled to push the button that would send out over 2000 emails to CHP supporters initiating the second major wave of The Promise campaign. The first major initiative was mailed two days earlier and it was now critical that the second follow in a timely manner. It reminded me of watching a shuttle launch on TV and seeing the anticipation of the technicians at NASA.

Then it happened. Only 90 minutes before the button was to be pushed we received the terrible news. Our host’s entire web server was hacked and every website for all his clients (65 in number) had been compromised including both our CHP Main web site and our new CHP Promise website. Imagine what an electronic grenade (if they existed) could do to a web site—that, after hundreds of hours of work, is what our new CHPPromise.ca web site had been reduced to.

It could only be a result of divine intervention called upon by the wonderful prayers of our faithful supporters across this nation that restoration was made possible. The prayer warriors gave strength and wisdom to our Communications Team as they worked tirelessly around the clock. After 33 hours, at 6:31pm Saturday, all systems were restored, some re-built, and all had been re-tested. Their efforts were successful and the second wave of The Promise was initiated. Praise God!

This level of devastation and disappointment could easily have caused many to simply throw in the towel. But no one did, nor did anyone on our team even suggest it! The enemy came in big-time like a flood to discourage our entire team and to shut down this campaign, but instead everyone stood firm and went back to work. The work was not in vain, the campaign was launched.

Now, for the rest of the story, yes, The Promise campaign has been launched, but it now must be allied by an additional army with a warrior of another sort

Christian author Randy Alcorn, recipient of a Gold Medallion Book Award in 2003 and one of the 150 American religious leaders who signed the Manhattan Declaration affirming support of the sanctity of life and traditional marriage, once wrote:

“You’ve heard of prayer warriors. What about giving warriors? God has entrusted us with so much. Perhaps He is raising up a great army of givers, and He’s calling us to enlist.”

You know as well as I do that we have an army of givers out there; you and I are part of it. We also know that it doesn’t take much money individually if everyone does something. Edward Hale in 1822 said it best:

“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.”

If you have not taken the time to look over The Promise campaign, please do. It lays out a vision for our Christian Heritage Party that is not only revolutionary but exciting and achievable. It needs now that other warrior…the giving warrior!

Go to www.chppromise.ca click on Partnership and prayerfully consider giving what your heart is prompting you to give.

The Promise can ignite the power of CHP Canada—it’s in your hands.

Don’t refuse to do the something that you can do—be that warrior.
