Defend Israel.
7:08:07
Okay.
7:08:08
So, ACS was here.
7:08:11
A prior time they were here they had determined that foster parents and adoption should not be done by homosexuals.
7:08:20
I believe that should be reinforced and reinstated and made sure that that's followed.
7:08:27
It is unbiblical and it is proven harmful to children biblically and in real time.
7:08:34
Fun parents keeping their children where it's a problem with money causing their separation.
7:08:42
The monies that are being put into the ACS can be used for the to reunite the parents and the children, and the same money that the foster parents would get, the parents should be able to get that funding so that they can raise their children if it's only a money issue.
7:09:01
We need to implement Jewish and Christian bible based counseling and teaching.
7:09:06
I myself was a teacher in a church, Sunday school teacher, I worked in the youth department in the church, and we have a lot of things that we do with children where they're not in the streets, they're not going to jail.
7:09:25
Over many years, I have overseen working with children, taking them out on outings, and we don't have a high crime rate in the churches that I've been involved with with the youth ministry, the children's church, the little babies, these things aren't happening in the church settings.
7:09:47
If we bring the church setting into the school, which we are doing now, Texas has just okay prayer in school.
7:09:56
This is something that we have been working with.
7:09:59
We are also getting the 10 commandments in school and we are getting in different states and we want that here in New York City so that we can make a difference and the children in the schools can be like the children in the church that I taught.
