Christian Leaders to Gather Saturday at the Border to Pray ‘For His Children’

0

MCALLEN, Texas, July 25, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In order to do everything possible to help the unaccompanied children arriving at the U.S./Mexico border, National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference/Conela, which serves 40,118 U.S. churches and more than 500,000 churches across the world, along with Convoy of Hope, Buckner and Somebody Cares International, are launching a new effort “For His Children” to help meet both physical and spiritual needs of the minors and their families.

“For His Children” is a messaging and mobilization campaign to save, deliver and heal unaccompanied children entering the country. Leaders from NHCLC/Conela have been meeting with White House officials and members of Congress to discuss the border crisis and encourage swift action. This campaign is just one of their efforts to provide answers to the physical and moral dilemma surrounding the immigration issue. 

A large group of local and regional pastors, along with representatives from each of the aforementioned organizations will hold a prayer service to kick off “For His Children” in McAllen, Texas on July 26 at 1 p.m. CDT.

“This is about HIS children,” said Dr. Gus Reyes, Director of the Christian Life Commission, and a member of the NHCLC executive board. “We pray because we believe in a God of miracles. We believe the crisis requires a solution that only God can provide.”  

The leaders of “For His Children” have asked that those not able to attend to commit time to prayer from 1 p.m. – 4 p.m. CDT on July 26.

“Children, created in God’s image should never be unaccompanied nor should they be exploited, trafficked or sacrificed on the altar of political expediency. I believe it is wrong for parents to send children to the U.S. border when the primary protective firewall for these children lies in a loving Christ-filled home where faith, family and education stand prevalent,” said Dr. Samuel Rodriguez, President of NHCLC/Conela. “Correspondingly, as a nation and as people of faith, we must serve, heal and minister to those that have arrived in our nation because theirs, according to Jesus, is the kingdom of heaven.”

“For His Children” will meet at Anzalduas Park in McAllen, Texas where a large number of immigrants cross the Rio Grande at 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 26. At 2 p.m. they will divide into three groups and go to the Border Patrol Station (3000 W. Military Hwy, McAllen, Texas), BP Center for Unaccompanied Minors (Ware Rd. & Ursula Ave., McAllen, Texas) and Sacred Heart Catholic Church (306 S. 15th Street, McAllen, Texas). Then at 3 p.m they will meet back at Archer Park (101 N. Broadway, McAllen, Texas) for a closing prayer time.

“One need only to peer into the eyes of the frightened children and teenagers and hear the adult immigrants’ stories of sheer determination for a better life to know that God has called us to be a channel of His love and compassion,” said Robert Cepeda, Director of Missions at Rio Grande Valley Baptist Association. “Even as the partisan political debate continues, may our prayer be that God will allow us to see with His eyes, hear with His ears, and feel with His heart.”

The group will be concentrating their prayer on five important fronts: unaccompanied children, their parents, Latin American government leaders, U.S. government leaders and the overwhelmed law enforcement officers who are in the middle of this crisis and doing their best to enforce current policies.

“While the crisis rages and politicians talk, children having basic needs and emotional feelings should be addressed.  A day of prayer and reflection where we make ourselves and others aware of what’s happening will be a start,” said Ruben Mendez, pastor and local chapter director at the NHCLC.

“For His Children” follows an informative and educational campaign begun by NHCLC/Conela across Latin America to urge congregants not to send their children to cross the border. Organization leaders met with thousands of pastors in Latin America over the last few weeks as well as White House officials. Over the next month, NHCLC/Conela will launch a PSA campaign across Latin America through television and radio advertisements as well as leaflets, print ads and other materials with the goal of reducing the number of unaccompanied children at the border to zero by the end of the year.

“The current humanitarian crisis at our southern border provides us the opportunity to live out the narrative of Mathew 19:14 and display Christian compassion interwoven with our historic American hospitality,” said Rev. Tony Suarez, Vice President of Chapters for NHCLC/Conela. “‘For His Children’ exemplifies the NHCLC’s desire to do both vertical and horizontal ministry. We have received calls from all around the country from pastors, leaders and churches ready to answer the call to service at the border. Our conviction is the same … ‘For such is the kingdom of God.'”

NHCLC/Conela is the largest Hispanic Christian organization serving millions of Evangelicals, 40,118 U.S. churches and more than 500,000 churches across the globe. Seeking to reconcile evangelist Billy Graham’s message of salvation with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s march of prophetic activism, the NHCLC/Conela emphasizes “7 Directives” of Life, Family, Compassionate Evangelism, Stewardship, Justice, Education and Youth.

Cal/OSHA Cites Warehouse Company over $300,000 for Failing to Correct Serious Hazards at its Mira Loma Facility

Cal/OSHA Cites Warehouse Company over $300,000 for Failing to Correct Serious Hazards at its Mira Loma Facility


SAN BERNARDINO, California, July 24, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Cal/OSHA cited warehousing and logistics company National Distribution Center LP (doing business as NFI) $308,435 in proposed penalties on Monday for not providing employees with foot protection—a safety violation for which the company was previously cited in 2012 and has failed to abate, despite its obligation to do so.

“Prevention is vital to limiting accidents in warehouses where hazards are magnified by the size of the facility and number of employees. Unfortunately, the employer in this case did not follow through on an agreement to provide protection,” said Christine Baker, Director of the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). The Division of Occupational Safety and Health, known as Cal/OSHA, is a division of DIR. 

The case began in July 2012, following a complaint. Cal/OSHA’s San Bernardino office inspected NFI’s Mira Loma facility, known as a cross-docking operation, and issued a number of citations. Cross-docking is a logistics procedure in which goods are unloaded quickly from inbound transportation docks and moved to outbound docks without storing them. The Mira Loma cross dock is 599,340 square foot, one of the largest in the country, with 450 employees on site.

One Serious citation found that NFI employees were exposed to foot injuries because they did not have appropriate protection when working near the facility’s dozens of forklifts. Serious violations are cited when there is a realistic possibility that death or serious physical harm can result.

Cal/OSHA also cited NFI to replace worn and faded painted stripes that delineate pedestrian aisles and forklift aisles, because the forklifts were observed driving through the pedestrian aisles to reach the dock doors.   

NFI appealed the citations to the Occupational Safety and Health Appeals Board (OSHAB), but later withdrew its challenge of the foot protection violation. An administrative law judge signed an order in January approving a settlement of the case, affirming the citation. In February, NFI and Cal/OSHA met to discuss abatement options. But following a report that a forklift ran over a worker’s foot and broke a toe, the division conducted a follow-up inspection of the warehouse on March 25. It was discovered that NFI had purchased foot coverings, but they were noncompliant and had not been distributed to the workers. Cal/OSHA issued a notification of failure to abate to NFI, and calculated additional penalties based on the number of days the company exposed workers to foot hazards.

“Had NFI followed through on its obligation to provide proper foot protection two years ago when this was first brought to their attention, the additional penalties would not have been needed,” said Juliann Sum, Acting Cal/OSHA Chief. “Forklift operation is the biggest single cause of serious injury to workers’ feet. NFI ignored this hazard.”

National Distribution Center LP, based in New Jersey, provides distribution and warehouse services in the United States and Canada. It has appealed the failure to abate to OSHAB, where it will be scheduled for expedited proceeding.

The Cal/OSHA Consultation Program provides free and voluntary assistance to employers and employee organizations to help improve health and safety programs.  Employers are encouraged to call (800) 963-9424 for assistance from the Cal/OSHA Consultation Program.  

Employees with work-related questions or complaints may call the California Workers’ Information Hotline at (866) 924-9757 for recorded information in English and Spanish on a variety of work-related topics.

Government of Puerto Rico Tries to Delay Trial Schedule with Doral Financial Corporation

“Delay Tactics” Indicate the PR Government cannot meet the burden of proof ordered by the court to show fraud, malfeasance and misrepresentation on the part of Doral


SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, July 24, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, the Government of Puerto Rico continued its delay tactics to escape the burden of proving fraud or malfeasance in the case of Doral vs. Hacienda. The Hacienda motioned to delay the trial schedule in response the Puerto Rico Supreme Court’s ruling that the trial with Doral must happen on an expedited basis.

Doral counsel Matthew D. McGill, partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher issued the following statement:

“The Puerto Rican government is becoming increasingly desperate as it attempts to avoid paying the bank a debt that has been acknowledged by successive administrations over the last eight years. The government continues leveling unfounded accusations against Doral and has engaged in delay tactics in and out of court because it knows that it cannot meet the burden of proof that the court has ordered. In the process, the government is sending a chilling message to potential investors considering Puerto Rico as a place to do business. The government has it within its power to undo this damage by negotiating a solution with Doral that is fair for all parties. Doral has accommodated both the court’s and the government’s requests at every turn. We are simply asking for the same treatment in return.”

Doral Financial Corporation is a bank holding company engaged in banking, mortgage banking and insurance agency activities through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Doral Bank, with operations on the mainland U.S. (New York metropolitan area and northwest region of Florida) and Puerto Rico. Doral Financial Corporation’s common shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol DRL.

“IDENTITY” Premieres on Television Aug. 1

0

NASHVILLE, Tennessee, July 24, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC
PR WIRE/ — City of Peace, the company behind the upcoming Ray Liotta-Ashley Judd film THE IDENTICAL, is launching a groundbreaking new series of television specials this August focused on helping viewers discover and live out their identity in Christ. The National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC) encourages people of faith to watch this new television series.

Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120912/CL72800LOGO

A co-production of Gray Media, in:ciite Media and City of Peace Films, THE IDENTITY SERIES will air Aug. 1-Sept. 5 on some of the most popular secular and Christian television networks in the country, including ABC Family, CMT, Lifetime, Discovery Channel, TBN, Daystar, The Word Network, INSP and TCT.

Each half-hour episode will feature a prominent Christian leader speaking before an audience about a key aspect of what it means to follow God's call on your life. Among those appearing in the series are best-selling author and pastor Max Lucado; Lifechurch.tv founder Craig Groeschel; Australian pastor and activist Christine Caine; Bishop George Bloomer of the Bethel Family Worship Center in Durham, N.C.; and the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, president of the National Hispanic
Christian Leadership Conference.

Also featured are Jamal Bryant, pastor of Empowerment Temple AME Church in Baltimore; Mike Breaux, pastor of Canyon Ridge Christian Church in Las Vegas; Miles McPherson, pastor of The Rock Church in San Diego; author Lisa Harper; author Holly Wagner; Bil Cornelius, pastor of Bay Area Fellowship in Corpus Christi, Texas; Raleigh Washington, president of Promise Keepers; David Nasser, pastor of Christ City Church in Birmingham, Ala.; and best-selling author Lee Strobel.

"Once we understand our identity, it's natural for us to want to talk with others about what God has done in our life," Strobel explained. "I call this 'the unexpected adventure,' because you never know what opportunity might come up to have a spiritual conversation that could change someone's life and eternity. I hope my segment encourages and
equips people for these kinds of interactions."

The television series was created to support the nationwide release of the film THE IDENTICAL, coming to theaters Sept. 5. Though the film is not overt in its Christian messaging, City of Peace hopes the content-focused series draws the audience into the themes presented in the film.

"THE IDENTICAL is not religious; it's where people are living right now," said Yochanan Marcellino, president and CEO of City of Peace Films. "It was always imagined to be a movie both for the masses and for Christians."

Each episode of THE IDENTITY SERIES will feature content – much of it exclusive – from THE IDENTICAL. The film, about the son (newcomer Blake Rayne) of a preacher (played by Liotta) who feels a calling to pursue a music career, not follow in his father's pastoral footsteps, touches
on some of the very themes explored in THE IDENTITY SERIES.

"Our IDENTITY SERIES brings relevancy to the modern churchgoer," Marcellino explained, "by elevating the movie's core truth, that Jesus Christ alone can answer the question we all ask ourselves: Who am I and what am I here for?"

One of the truly groundbreaking aspects of the series is that churches have the opportunity to gain access to streaming versions of all 13 episodes to broadcast during services. All they need to do is commit to purchasing group tickets for THE IDENTICAL. More information on group tickets for the film, and details about the series itself, including broadcast schedules, can be found at www.theidentityseries.com

Chris Thomason, president and CEO of in:ciite media, said the time is right for THE IDENTITY
series in the church – and society at large.

"The subject of our 'identity' is widespread in culture from 'identity theft to 'social media and online profiles,' he said. "We are all inundated with this theme of 'who we are.' As we created the concept for this series, it was obvious that some of the most well-known and respected Christian leaders and pastors are speaking directly to this relevant subject in our lives.

"We believe it is unprecedented to gather the caliber and breadth of leaders who are participating in this broadcast series in one place around this one theme," Thomason added. "We at in:ciite are honored to be a part of this remarkable opportunity in association with THE IDENTICAL film to connect this content and speakers to an awesome film that will resonate with audiences of all types."

About American Authors
American Authors reached double Platinum with their #1 chart-topping debut single “Best Day Of My Life.”  The song has been bolstered by prominent placements including Lowe’s TV ad, trailers for the film Delivery Man, the Secret Life Of Walter Mitty, Major League Baseball Fan Cave commercial, opening sequence of this year’s ESPN World Series Of Poker coverage and more.  Recently selected for the highly influential VEVO LIFT emerging artists program and VH1’s official “You Oughta Know” selection.  American Authors is comprised of Zac Barnett (vocals), James Adam Shelley (guitar/banjo), Dave Rublin (bass), and Matt Sanchez (drums). Together they hail from the four corners of the country, each bringing their own influences and experiences to the writing table to create pop-flavored alt rock sprinkled with four-part harmonies, spirited lyrics, and contagious optimism. To hear their music and to watch them perform, it can be said that American Authors has the natural ‘it’ factor that leads to music’s most successful artists.  www.weareamericanauthors.com
