In October, Focus on the Family announced it would lay off or reassign 46 employees next year due to the restructuring of its distribution arm.

Now Focus spokesman Gary Schneeberger has told the Colorado Springs Gazette the company will be announcing specifics on more layoffs in the next few days.

Focus has a staff of about 1,300 people in the United States. On its Web site, the company claims to be the world's largest nonprofit organization dedicated to nurturing and defending families worldwide. Focus on the Family was founded in 1977 in Arcadia, Calif. It is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colo.

--John 14:13-14

PRAYER QUOTE:

"Is the Son of God praying in me, or am I dictating to Him?....Prayer is not simply getting things from God, that is a most initial form of prayer; prayer is getting into perfect communion with God. If the Son of God is formed in us by regeneration, He will press forward in front of our common sense and change our attitude to the things about which we pray."

--Oswald Chambers

MOTIVATING VERSE:

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost"

--Titus 3:5

SOUL-WINNING QUOTE:
"It is of no use for any of you to try to be soul-winners if you are not bearing fruit in your own lives. How can you serve the Lord with your lips if you do not serve Him with your lives.? How can you preach His gospel with your tongues, when with hands, feet, and heart you are preaching the devil’s gospel, and setting up an antichrist by your practical unholiness?"

--Charles Haddon Spurgeon
