Money for Your Church?

Contact: Ray Comfort at (562) 920-8431

BELLFLOWER, CA (June 9, 1999) -- Not many people realize that they may have money which is legally theirs, waiting to be collected from the U.S. Government. This is what was discovered by one web surfer, Debbie Loveall, who located $484 for her boss, $340 for two of her co-workers and $36,000 for her cousin. Then she found $68,000 that belonged to a major U.S. bank. But when she found churches that actually had thousands of dollars sitting doing nothing, she began to become really excited! Mrs. Loveall said, "There are over 350,000 churches in the United States. This could add up to hundreds of millions of dollars that could be used for the extension of the Kingdom of God."

Mrs. Loveall suggested linking the U.S. Government web site to the ministry of author and Bible teacher Ray Comfort. "His teaching transformed the life of myself and my husband Jerry, and I want every Christian to hear it!"

The "Hell's Best Kept Secret" teaching has been commended by Focus on the Family, David Wilkerson, Leonard Ravenhill, Dave Hunt, and many other respected Christian leaders. Bill Gothard screened it to 30,000 pastors in 1992. Ray Comfort says that it holds the key to turning this nation back to God.

To see if you or your church has money owed to it, check and receive a free tape (no matter what the outcome). The ministry has generously offered this to Christians within the U.S. as an encouragement to prompt people to find out if they have money coming to their church, and to expose as many people as possible to "Hell's Best Kept Secret".

PAGET'S DISEASE OF THE NIPPLE
Submitted by Viola Gilbert who received it from a caring friend

Is a rare form of breast cancer, and is on the outside of the breast, on the nipple and areola. It appears as a rash which later became a lesion with a crusty outer edge. I would not have ever suspected it to be breast cancer but it was. My nipple never seems any different to me, but the rash bothered me so I went to my doctor's office for that. Sometimes it itched and was sore but other than that it didn't really bother me. It was just ugly and a nuisance and could not clear it up with all the creams that had been given by the doctor and dermatologist for the dermatitis on my eyes I had just prior to this outbreak. I therefore went in to doctor's office for assistance. They seemed a little concerned but did not warn me it could be cancerous.

Now I suspect there are not many women out there who know a lesion or rash on the nipple or areola can be breast cancer. What are the symptoms? Mine started out as a single red pimple on the areola.

One of the biggest problems with Paget's disease of the nipple is that the symptoms appear to be harmless. It is frequently thought to be a skin inflammation or infections, leading to unfortunate delays in detection and care.

The symptoms include:
1. A persistent redness, oozing, and crusting of your nipple causing it to itch and burn. (As I stated, mine did not itch much or burn, and no oozing that I was aware of, but it did have a crust along the outer edge on one side.)

2. A sore on your nipple that will not heal. (Mine was on the areola area with a whiteish, thick-looking area in center of the nipple.)

3. Usually only one nipple is affected.

How is it diagnosed?
Your doctor will do a physical exam and should suggest having a mammogram of both breasts done immediately. Even though the redness, oozing and crusting closely resemble dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), your doctor should suspect cancer if the sore is only on one breast. Your doctor should order a biopsy of your sore to confirm what is going on. They will take a sample of your breast tissue in that area to test for cancer. If the cancer is only in the nipple and not in the breast, your doctor may recommend just removing the nipple and surrounding tissue or suggest radiation treatments. Had my doctor caught mine right away, instead of flaking it off as dermatitis, perhaps they could have saved my breast and it wouldn't have gone to my lymph nodes.

This message should be taken seriously and passed on to as many of your friends as possible. It could save someone's life.

My breast cancer has spread and metastasized to my bones, this after receiving mega doses of chemotherapy, 28 treatments of radiation and taking tamaxofin. If this had been diagnosed in the beginning as breast cancer and treated right away perhaps it would not have spread.

I did try to spread the word through Rosie O'Donnell show on breast cancer awareness but it failed to trigger importance enough to be announced on her show last year. This is sad as woman are not aware of Paget's disease.

If by passing this around on the e-mail we can make others aware of it and it's potential danger, we are helping women everywhere. Please highlight this article, copy it and paste into an e-mail to everyone you know. Thanks for taking the time to share.

Easy Y2K Fix That Really Works!
Submitted by Pattie Reitz

For those of you running Windows, this is a fix for a small Y2K problem. After running this quick little test, much to my surprise, I learned that my computer would have failed on 01-01-2000, due to a computer clock glitch. Fortunately, a quick fix is provided, should your computer fail the test.

TEST:

Double click on "My Computer."

Double click on "Control Panel."

Double click on "Regional Settings" icon.

Click on the "Date" tab at the top of the page.

Where is says "Short Date Sample," look and see if it shows a "two digit" year. Of course it does. That's the default setting for Windows95, Windows98 and NT. This date RIGHT HERE is the date that feeds application
software and WILL NOT roll over in the year 2000. It will roll over to 00.

Click on the button across from "Short Date Style" and select the option that shows mm/dd/yyyy. (Be sure your selection has four "y's" showing, not two.)

IMPORTANT: Click on "Apply" and then on "OK" at the bottom.

Easy enough to fix, yet every single installation of Windows worldwide is defaulted to fail Y2K rollover. How many people know about it? How many people know to change that? What will be the effect? Who knows? But this is another example of the pervasiveness and systematic nature of the problem.

Internet Fellowship for Christian Women

I do websites for several ministries and specialized Christian groups. Many also have a group mailing list where members can safely correspond with and support one another. These work quite well, for we all need fellowship with others, especially Christians. Sometimes it's easier to share a problem with someone over the internet than it might be in person, plus we can gain insight from several members of the group.

I recently received the following e-mail:

Hi! My name is Carol. I am looking for some good Christian fellowship with other women. The church I belong to currently doesn't have much fellowship just for women. If you can help me out in any way I would really appreciate. I am 39 years old,married,and have three children. Right now I am off work for the summer. I am a teachers assistant in a middle school in the town where I live.We also have a disabled person who lives in our home as a second income. This can be very trying some days.
Thank-you very much and may GOD BLESS YOU

I replied and asked Carol if she might be interested in helping create such a group. Here is her response:

iona,
Thanks for answering my e-mail. I wouldn't know the first thing about starting a fellowship group but I would be open to the idea. I really believe that there are women out there that are needing Christian fellowship through the internet. I have heard that there is a couple of groups out there but I don't know anything about them. I believe that if there is any interest in a group like this maybe together we could create something.
Please keep me informed on what you find out. God Bless You!! Carol

Because Carol cared and because the need is real, I am creating a new section called Handmaidens Christian Women's Fellowship. It has it's own page with a signup link and some guidelines... that's where you readers come in. Help define the guidelines by sending suggestions to fellowship@ionanet.com

You can join right now, but I want to have guidelines up within a few days, so please write quickly!

Join the Fellowship
(this will send a blank e-mail to the list server)
