This morning we were asked to do live coverage of the “Cry Out America” prayer meeting held on the town square.
We agreed to do it, but lamented that we couldn’t have had more time to sell the broadcast to a sponsor.
(just kidding)
On one hand, we would have a great chance to sell it…we could just tell them God wanted them to advertise and that He would be mad if they didn’t pitch in…and on the other hand I’m pretty sure this is how Jim Bakker got started. So we didn’t sell it.
But in thinking about my closing sales pitch, I thought I’d try this…
“Well, sir, I understand why you can’t advertise right now…but I’m not sure God will.”
