Speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast Last month we had the privilege to participate in The National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast (NHPB) Convention. Along with other honored guest speakers, Dr Panasiuk was invited to speak on behalf of the American Bible Society (ABS). The ABS and the Institute for Financial Culture will collaborate to bring Biblical answers to the current economic crisis through an event called the Financial Freedom Tour. The tour will touch 6 US cities and include the release of a book called the “10 Irrefutable Laws”. This lively event done as a Broadwaystyle show will also feature a “first-aid” financial kit. President Obama attended the National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast and spoke to Latino faith and civic leaders. During our trip we also visited with State Representatives on Capitol Hill to discuss issues facing the Latino community. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers as we speak the truth to our nation’s leaders. “I will speak to kings about your laws, and I will not be ashamed.” Ps 119:46
