for the people of Cincinnati. I believe this is a spiritual season where
our city will be transformed".
-Hal McIntosh, Pastor Vineyard Community Church
"Here's a Christmas gift for Cincinnati: It's invisible, but you can see it
work. It's small enough to be contained in one heart, but so huge there's not
enough paper to wrap it up. No amount of money can buy it, but it costs nothing.
It's a prayer. And if prayers come in sizes, this one is Super-XL, big enough to
fit the whole city like a warm Christmas sweater".
-Peter Bronson, Cincinnati Enquirer (Sunday edition, Dec. 22nd)

-John W. Stevenson, Senior Pastor Heirs Worship Center
"God has given me a burden for ministering to the Inner City, and also for

nonprofits, in city-wide, spirit-led outreach programs, in successful ways, not
yet imagined!"
