Liveprayer.Com an America based Internet ministry, its founder said Tuesday, December 23.
"I am most grateful for over 10,000 people that we know of who accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior in 2003, bringing the total to over 40,000 since we started Liveprayer," about four years ago, said preacher Bill Keller in an e-mail message received by the BosNewsLife Budapest Bureau.
In addition Keller is "grateful that we now have over 1,000,000 praise reports in our praise archives. These are from people who came to us for prayer and God moved in a wonderful way in their lives and situations," he added.
"As Liveprayer completes our 52nd month of ministry here on the Internet, I am excited about what the year 2004 will bring. I am looking forward to another powerful year of ministry and new opportunities to reach even more people all over the world each day with the hope and love of Jesus Christ," Keller said.
1.8 MILLION E-MAILS
At least 1.8 million people receive Keller’s daily prayer devotionals, and many visit the interactive Liveprayer.Com website for prayer and counseling, the organization said.
Keller’s ministry began after he re-discovered his faith in Christ when he served a two and a half year Federal Prison term for insider trading, more than a decade ago.
"Shortly after going into prison, Bill rededicated his life to the Lord, received an undergraduate degree in biblical studies from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, and was discipled by two precious charismatic couples," Liveprayer.Com said in a statement seen by BosNewsLife.
RELEASED FROM PRISON
But "upon his release in Aug. 1992, Bill went into full time ministry, holding evangelistic meetings in churches all over the country."
Besides Keller’s preaching ministry, in 1995 the BK Media division was formed to produce and syndicate television programming for Christian television stations nationwide. In August of 1999, the ministry’s internet site Liveprayer.Com was launched.
The preacher, who now suggests his treasures are in heaven, recently urged Christians to no longer accept pageant holidays such as Halloween, which his organization wants to turn into Witnessing for Jesus Day."
ENCOURAGING CHRISTIANS
Keller said the "Witnessing for Jesus Day" is aimed at encouraging Christians to share the Gospel with at least three people during the day.
"If every Christian worldwide shared their faith in Christ with three people, it would literally turn the world upside down over night. The world will be "witnessing" their rebellion of God with their Halloween parties, their costumes, and satanic services."
He stressed that Liveprayer.Com and its supporters "will have churches in every community putting on "Hell House" or "Judgment House" productions as an alternative to the haunted house productions of the world."
Christians would also make their homes inviting for children out trick-or- treating, and in addition to candy, give them a Gospel Tract or Gospel of John booklet. "No child should come to your home and leave without knowing that Jesus is Lord," Keller told his supporters in a recent e-mail devotional.
