1. IMPORTANT MESSAGE RE SPOOFING

PLEASE NOTE: Your Daily or Weekend Encounter may be a target for deceptive emails.

As part of ACTS' efforts to protect our subscribers, we are notifying you of important information that we received suggesting that your Encounter subscription may be a target for deceptive emails, otherwise known as "spoofing" or "phishing." These emails are designed to appear as if they were sent from a trusted online company or organization that you have had contact with, such as ACTS, ACTS International, Daily Encounter, and/or Weekend Encounter.

Very often the email message that appears to come from Daily or Weekend Encounter or from ACTS has an attachment with a virus. So be aware of any such email messages as we never send any of our Daily, Weekend, or Prayer Encounter messages with attachments to our subscribers. NEVER!

What You Can Do To Protect Yourself:

1. Never provide personal or financial information in response to an email request: ACTS will never ask you to supply any personal or financial information.

2. Look out for suspicious-looking emails: If you find an email that you suspect may be fraudulent, don't even open it. Just delete it.

3. Do not download any attachments that appear to come from ACTS, Daily Encounter or Weekend Encounter: ACTS will never send you an email attachment, or ask you to download any attachment for any reason.

As you may already know, spoof (deceptive email) is becoming an increasingly common problem impacting large online companies, organizations and their customers and/or subscribers. So just be aware and follow the above instructions and you will be protected.

Because of the work we do in publishing the gospel and Christian message, we can expect to be attacked and misused more and more.

Also, make sure you have good anti-virus software installed on your computer and always keep it up to date.


2. FEDERAL MARRIAGE AMENDMENT

Debate on the Federal Marriage Amendment has begun. However, if you or your friends have not yet signed the Stand for Marriage petition, it is not too late. We must continue to rally support, especially while the debate is under way.

3. FOR U.S. CITIZENS ...

Each election year, Christians are offered the opportunity to make their voices heard. When the Christian votes, he or she is allowed the chance to set the moral tone for the future of local, state, and national leadership. It is critical that Christians fulfill their biblical obligation and take advantage of their right to vote.
