III. Support Traditional Family Rallies

Ever since the U.S. Supreme Court declared prayer(1962) and Bible reading(1963) in public schools as unconstitutional, we have witnessed the drastic decline of faith and morality in America.

In February of 2004, the Mayor of San Francisco unlawfully issued over 4,000 marriage licenses to same-sex couples! The State of Massachusetts acted likewise. In the same year Chinese churches all over America decided to speak up for Biblical truth and held open-air rallies in San Francisco (April), Los Angeles (June) and Flushing, New York (September).

Praise the Lord, American churches and mission organizations jointly sponsored a Mayday For Marriage rally in Washington D.C. on October 15, 2004. Over 100,000 Christians from all over the country attended including almost 7,000 Chinese Christians who arrived by caravans of cars bearing gospel signs from all corners of the nation.
