Need Him Commercial Did Not Air

On Tuesday, September 8, 2009, the Gospel television commercial called “Something’s Not Right” was pulled from the broadcast schedule at the last minute. The commercial airtime was purchased by Need Him Ministries and was slated to run immediately before and after the Gates Foundation the 30-minute “Get Schooled: You Have the Right” documentary to support President Obama's speech on education. Sometime before broadcasting, and without explanation, the commercial was removed from the schedule.

The “Get Schooled: You Have the Right” documentary special was aired in the first programming “roadblock” of any kind across all Viacom networks, including BET, MTV, VH1, CMT, Comedy Central, Spike TV, TV Land, and Nickelodeon, at 8:00 PM ET in a nationwide broadcast. The “Something’s Not Right” commercial was scheduled for 7:59 PM and 8:31 PM ET. It was not shown at either timeslot.

Need Him staff members, seeking to discover the reason behind the change in programming, have received several explanations including, “it was pulled for content.” The TV commercial is simple and profound, using real people, not actors. And it relays a very direct message we were hoping to deliver to millions of homes on Tuesday night.

Church of the Week - September 14, 2009

Union Baptist Church of Winder, GA is the newest WRAF Church of the Week.

Congratulations to Pastor Rudy Camp and the entire congregation!

Diana nominated the church and says, "Our church is one big happy family - when you need something everyone pulls together. We have all ages just like a family and the love of our congregation is like a family. Our Minister Rudy Camp is outgoing and enjoys his job immensely. Along with Music Minister Brian Faglier and Youth Minister Joe Johnson, they are like three brothers. It is a joy to work there and to be there on Sundays and Wednesdays to worship our Heavenly Father. We encourage our youth to reach out to the community for prayer and fun. We are a growing church and always enjoy visitors. You will laugh, cry, and rejoice at all of our services because we have an awesome Father to learn about and Union Baptist Church loves to tell everyone about Him...Come see for yourself!!!!"

Church of the Week - September 7, 2009

First Free Will Baptist Church of Hayesville, NC is the newest WRAF Church of the Week.

Congratulations to Pastor Chris Rumfelt and the entire congregation!

Carol nominated the church and says, "Our church is involved in the community in many ways. We have a Master Men's group that visits people on Tuesday nights and does good deeds for people in the community that can't do them for themselves. We are a Manna produce distribution point for Clay County each month. We have a Celebrate Recovery group that meets weekly on Thursdays for those recovering from drugs, alcohol abuse, divorce, etc. We're also involved with the Christian Love Ministries. We have a cancer support group that meets the first Monday of each month called Miracle Monday. We also pay a visit to the nursing home monthly. Our minister is involved in giving prayers and counseling students (especially those involved in athletic activities) at the local schools. He also does a lot of guest speaking and evangelistic work across the East Coast from Ohio to Florida. We have a youth group called SHOUT (Students Helping Others Understand Truth) that is active in the community as well. We also started the Carolina Christian Academy last year which currently has children enrolled from ages 4 through 7 in grades from pre-K through 2nd grade. In August, we will be opening a day care center which will handle children from infants through age 3 and includes an after-school program for children. One of the special programs we have every year around Memorial Day weekend is the Carolina Youth Retreat. It is a Christian retreat for youth from all across the Eastern USA. At this retreat, children and teens do activities in the community together (like horseback riding, white water rafting, etc), and attend church services with sermons geared toward the many issues they face on a daily basis (pressures from peers of sexual activity, drugs, alcohol, etc). We feed them all their meals over the 3 days they are at the retreat. Many souls are saved for the Lord during the retreat."
