BENTONVILLE, Arkansas, Dec. 14 /Christian Newswire/ -- Operation Save America will be storming the gates of hell at Wal-Mart Headquarters this Friday, December 15, 2006, in Bentonville, Arkansas. "The Church of Jesus Christ is coming out of the closet in an attempt to save an old friend. Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the world and the favorite store of the American Christian family, has become an enemy of God," states Rev. Flip Benham, Director of Operation Save America.

Rev. Benham continues:

"Wal-Mart took a huge hit in November as hundreds of Christian families took to the streets of their local Wal-Mart stores, but not to purchase any items. They came to expose an ugly truth about this once 'God fearing' corporation. Wal-Mart has been blackmailed by the radical homosexual agenda and the abortion industry. Rather than honoring God, Wal-Mart is now promoting homosexual sodomy and the killing of His children.

"Every executive at Wal-Mart Corporate that has allowed this hostile take-over needs a good old fashioned tongue lashing in Jesus' Name and a spanking!  What Wal-Mart has done is sin! It is a betrayal of our Lord Jesus. It is a betrayal of Sam Walton (the founder of Wal-Mart) and his powerful Christian legacy. It is a betrayal of Christian families everywhere. Wal-Mart must bear the fruit of repentance."

"Sam Walton is dead. He can't fix the sorry estate Wal-Mart finds itself in. He faithfully ran his lap of the race and served his Lord well. It is our turn now! Though Mr. Sam is dead, yet he still speaks!

"We are not a protest. We are a proclamation that Jesus Christ is Lord! We are calling an 'old friend' back to its Godly roots. Wal-Mart can be saved and so can America. It begins with God's Church!"

Rev. Benham and Operation Save America plans to hold an "Operation Save Wal-Mart" press conference on Friday.

Where: Wal-Mart Headquarters, Bentonville, corner 8th St. and Bus 71.

When: Friday, December 15, 2006, 11:30 A.M.
