Many of
you have been introduced to Pastor Wright (Senior Pastor
for nearly 20 years at Central Christian Church in
Wichita, Kansas) by way of the internet or through an
e-mail with these words, “This pastor has
GUTS!” He received this title due to the
“Prayer Of
Repentance” he prayed
in 1996 before the Kansas State Legislature where a
number of politicians walked out on him, in protest.
The next day, radio broadcaster Paul Harvey featured
the story on his radio program heard around the nation
and most of you know “the rest of the
story.” He had the largest positive response in
his, then, 32-year broadcast history. Many now call it
“the prayer that won’t die,” perhaps
because it is more relevant today than it was back
then! Even now, hardly a week passes that Brother Joe
(as he is known to most) doesn’t receive
inquiries concerning the prayer.
