One Prayer Update In June 2008, Craig Groeschel of LifeChurch.tv (Edmond OK) invited churches around the world to join forces through shared teaching, fasting, prayer, and service to others. The invitation gave pastors the opportunity to create and share sermons on the One Prayer website. More than 66 churches created messages to share and over 1,700 churches have committed to stand together with the vision to unite the church in an unprecedented way. Devotional thoughts and stories of what God is doing are being added daily to the One Prayer website. Church-based Bookstores Looking to Expand In an April 2008 survey of churches with in-house bookstores, more than half of those indicated plans to expand in the next two years. The survey group was heavily tilted toward larger churches: almost 60% of survey respondents have weekly worship attendance of more than 2,000, and an additional 18% are in the 1,000 to 2,000 range. In addition:   Only 23% of the stores had an external sign indicating their existence.   All stores were open on Sunday, with a sizeable amount of sales during that time. Three out of four said their stores were open during service times.   42% of the stores are responsible for duplicating and selling their pastors' messages in the store.   30% have an online store, but most sales are currently minimal.   41% give their income to the church's general fund, 30% get to keep the money they generate, and 12% give revenue generated to a specifically designated ministry.   54% indicated plans to expand their space, with most intending to do so within the next two years. Fastest-Growing Groups Include Older Adults and Hispanics By 2050, minorities will be the majority in America, and the number of residents older than 65 will more than double, according to projections released by the U.S. Census Bureau. Minorities, classified as those of any race other than non-Hispanic, single-race whites, currently constitute about a third of the U.S. population, according to Census figures. But by 2042, they are projected to become the majority, making up more than half the population. By 2050, 54 percent of the population will be minorities. By 2030, all baby boomers will be age 65 and older comprising nearly 20 percent of U.S. residents, or one in five Americans, the bureau said. By 2050, the 65-and-older age group will increase to 88.5 million, more than doubling its current number of 38.7 million. Meanwhile, the number of those age 85 and older is expected to more than triple, from 5.4 million in 2008 to 19 million by 2050.
