Prayer is God’s solution to delay the decaying of our culture. 

Many of you have already committed to praying and we believe many more of you will respond with a desire to devote time to pray for His cause of righteousness. To those who have been waiting for this email, we apologize for the delay. After much consideration, we are sending this to everyone and not just to those who have already responded. We believe that many want to pray but can’t commit to doing it regularly. 

Followers of Christ are God’s ambassadors of Truth to the culture.  And because we are admonished by our Creator to be alert and pray continuously, we are pleading with those who share our values to ask for God’s mercy for this state. We are in a spiritual battle of great proportions. Most would agree that our state is so far gone that only God is able to restore it.  But know that we serve an all-powerful God who is “able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” Ephesians 3:20

Naturally and spiritually speaking, our state is a field that is severely overgrown with the weeds of drugs, greed, sexual immorality, violence, addictions, apathy, etc., all of which are fracturing families. We see in the parable of the wheat and the tares that “While men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way…” Mat 13:25. The church has been asleep for far too long. Now it’s time to get on our knees and ask for God to move in the hearts and minds of pastors, priests and lay people.

 As praying people, we are the watchmen who can hinder our adversary from sowing further destruction. 

According to Hebrews 10:19-23 every believer is able to enter the holy place of God’s presence by the Blood of Jesus. With boldness we are to draw near with a pure heart and full assurance that He hears and will answer our prayers and petitions!  And you won’t be alone “because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.” Romans 8:27

 We’re so very grateful for your willingness to join us in prayer to our Heavenly Father.
