400-408 – Chuck Colson, founder of Prison Fellowship (prisonfellowship.org), host of Breakpoint (breakpoint.org) heard weekdays at 4:55pm, and founder of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview (colsoncenter.org). Today we talk about the push for a million signatures at the Manhattan Declaration (ManhattanDeclaration.org, and now at 475,984). The Manhattan Declaration was drafted by Chuck and Robert and Timothy George, and was initially signed by 125 Christian leaders, all affirming their commitment to the sanctity of life, traditional marriage and religious liberty – a clarion call to civil authorities that these Christian leaders will adhere to their convictions and will not – under any circumstance – abandon their Christian consciences.

458-508 – 33 miners have been trapped half a mile (2300') underground for the past 68 days, since August 5, in The San Jose mine, located near Copiapo, Chile, about 400 miles north of Santiago. They were unheard of for the first 17 days, and nearly all hope was lost. But then they were found. They shared one can of tuna for 17 days! All 33 have survived to this point. They are scheduled to begin coming out at 8pm Pacific one by one, in a 20 minute ride to the surface in the Phoenix 1 Capsule. A rescuer will go down first, at about 6pm Pacific, and supervise the rescue. Then a paramedic will go down and assess the injuries. He will notify the medical team above who will be coming up next, in order to coordinate what resources need to be available. The President of Chile selected the order of the first four miners to come out. Floritsio Avalos, 31, will be the first one out. The miners are vying among one another for the great honor of being the last one out.
