May 2016 notification letter:
Dear Friends and Family:
With so much emotion attached to this presidential election year, it was
with the mission of unity and peace that a National Prayer meeting was
held in Washington, D.C..
The front page photo of the May issue of Somos Primos is of a National
Prayer meeting, organized by Lewis and Rachel Hogan who founded United
Cry in 2014. Their goal,a national movement of pastors and Christian
leaders dedicated to reclaiming Americas future.
The day started out rain-drenched and freezing cold on Saturday April
9th, but thousands gathered with pastors and Christian leaders at the
Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. to pray for our nation in a solemn
assembly of unity. Attendees included many ethnicities, including
African-American, Caucasian, Asian, Native American and Hispanic, with
prayers in both English and Spanish. [US section]
In addition to reclaiming the future for our children and grandchildren,
Somos Primos wants to preserve the heroism and contributions of our
grandparents. Wanda Garcia and I thank all those who contacted the
Corpus Christi City officials concerning the ruinous condition of the
Dr. Hector P. Garcia Clinic site. Your action certainly helped. A fine
was placed against those responsible for allowing the building to fall
into such disarray. Well known columnist Joe Lopez is recommending
further action which can and should be taken in support of identifying
the Garcia Clinic site as an important Historic Civil Rights site.
[Texas section]
Maybe it is because of the growing ferocity of the Islamic attacks on

Israel, why I continue to receive many articles on the history of

Israel, revealing the unusual personal and unexpected historic events in
which Jewish lives have been saved. Many times their rescues came by
the heroic efforts of one or a small group of individuals. Over and
over it appears that individuals are moved to fulfill the biblical
prophesies that Israel will always exist. [5 articles in the Sephardic
section].
At the April 9th National Prayer meeting, Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn
said, As long as God lives, there is hope, the light will overcome the
darkness. As we learn our history, and share our shared history with
others, we bring forth light and understanding.
God bless America, Mimi
