PRESS RELEASE - PRAYER GUARDIAN MINISTRY

Prayer Power of Georgia is pleased to announce that it is sponsoring a new ministry. PRAYER GUARDIAN MINISTRY will assist those who feel led to pray for our political, spiritual, and social leaders. Members of the Prayer Guardian Ministry will be known as Prayer Guardians. Prayer Guardians will take responsibility to pray for a selected individual or individuals. Those who are selected for intercessory prayer will be known as Wards. Prayer Guardians may be an individual, a group, a church, or an organization. The purpose is of the Prayer Guardian Ministry is to promote and encourage regular and continuous intercessory prayer for those in positions of leadership or influence in our local communities, our county, our state, and our country.
Each Prayer Guardian will select a Ward who will receive intercessory prayer for wisdom and discernment in order that Wards may fulfill their responsibilities and comment to our community, county, state, and country. Many people pray for our leaders already, but it may not be on a regular basis, and the person is probably not informed that someone cares enough to remember them in prayer.
The purpose of the Prayer Guardian Ministry is to be faithful in our biblically-directed duty of lifting up all those in need of prayer. (1 Timothy 2: 1-2) We see a person’s position in our community as one which is not only of worldly leadership but also of spiritual leadership. With this in mind, a Prayer Guardian will commit to pray for the Ward on a regular basis and contact them once a month as a reminder that they are part of The Prayer Guardian Ministry. The Ward has no obligation to respond or to participate, but they will be blanketed in prayer regardless.
We know prayer will be a great resource for everyone and will allow our community to benefit from the spiritual guidance the Wards will receive. Prayer Guardian Ministry will arrange the initial contact and make available resources to facilitate the monthly contacts. There will be a minimum donation of eleven dollars ($11) requested to cover the cost of mailing and materials.
The Prayer Guardian Ministry has no political agenda and will not make judgments about issues or people. The sole purpose is to be obedient and offer intercessory prayer for everyone in need.
Anyone interested in becoming a Prayer Guardian may contact Prayer Guardian Ministry for more information at http://www.prayerpower4u.net/ or by email at prayerguardian@bellsouth.net or by mail at PO Box 1263, Zebulon, GA 30295.

Update - Brenda Hitch

A few weeks ago you were asked to pray for Brenda Hitch because she had to have surgery to remove a pre-cancerous polyp.
Thank you all for your prayers.
The surgery is over and the biopsies results back. The surgery was textbook perfect. There was no cancer found any where. Brenda will require no other treatments or procedures. Brenda will be going home today or tomorrow for about a three week recovery.
Please continue to pray for comfort and healing during this time of recovery.

A VERSE FOR TODAY.

James 5: 13 Are any among you suffering? They should keep on praying about it. And those who have reason to be thankful should continually sing praises to the Lord. 14 Are any among you sick? They should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over them, anointing them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And their prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make them well. And anyone who has committed sins will be forgiven. 16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results.

A THOUGHT ABOUT ISLAMIC PRAYER.

In the last few days much has been made of the fact that Islamics will be praying on the Capital steps. We pray on the Capital steps and if we are to claim free speech and religious freedom in this country then we need to allow other expressions of faith. What is disturbing is the anti-Jew anti-Christian talk from the Islamic leaders. It seems these leaders want to force their religion on us by what ever means they can. We as American Judeo-Christians must step up and meet this attempt to subvert our country. We must follow the biblical directions given to us and confront this and all attempts to force change based solely on religious beliefs. We must be tolerant, we must be loving, but we must be as committed to protecting and preserving our religion and our country as the Islamics are to subjugate us. So pray that God keeps this country in His will and under His protection. Act whenever possible to counter the Islamic aggressiveness by displaying God’s love.

A THOUGHT.

Lift the veil from your face and display the glory of God. We have too long hide in our faith, it is time to unveil and start doing the work Christ has given us to finish here before he returns. The Spirit is in us but needs to be projected outwardly for all to see and accept. When you accept Christ you also accept the fact that you become His tool. He works in us, with us, and through us to accomplish His plan.

Prayer request

Robert Langley received a pacemaker last Friday and returned home yesterday. Today Mr. Langley has had to return to the hospital due to various issues he is having with the pacemaker.
Please remember Mr. Langley during this time, and pray that the doctors can quickly resolve whatever problems he may be having. Pray for comfort and peace for him and his family.

Prayer request

My Grandfather, George Mortensen, has stage 3b colon cancer. That means the cancer has gone through the colon wall and has spread at least to the lymph nodes--though there was no evidence that it has attacked other organs at this time. He underwent surgery not too long ago and is healing from surgery before beginning chemotherapy. Pray that God will continue to provide strength and courage to my Grandfather and those who are taking care of him.
Thanks.

A PRAYER

Father God we are eight years from the brutal attack of 9/11 but have not healed as a nation. My prayer today is for our country that we may come together as a people, to resolve to protect and maintain our way of life and our faith in the one living God. May all of those who lost their lives on 9/11 be joyfully united with you, and those left behind find comfort and peace in knowing their loved ones are with you. We are thankful for all the first responders who have and continue to sacrifice for our safety. We ask protection for all of our military and service people as they give the utmost for us. May each of us rest peacefully tonight and every night knowing that you Dear Lord have us in your kingdom under your protection, mercy, and grace.

Prayer request

Please keep Lyla Carroll in your prayers. Lyla is 5 years old and needs surgery on her spine at least once a year due to a birth defect. Her surgery has been postponed until next Tuesday 9/8. She is doing fine right now but her blood count is low due to a recent cold or flu. The doctors have decided it would be best to put the surgery off until her blood count returns to normal. The family is already in Texas and will remain there until after the surgery. Please keep the family in your prayers as well – for their physical and financial well being as this is an unexpected expense and stay.

PLEASE READ TO THE END. . .VERY IMPORTANT IN NEED OF PRAYER.
Hi to all my friends and family, I felt compelled to spread this story about son's best friend, Sam who is 8. He is in MAJOR need of Prayer. The following story is what his mother Cindy (we are in MOPS together) wrote today.
Background Story
Our son Sam is a wonderful young man who is 8 years old. He will be 9 in January. He is going into the 3rd grade in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Sam had been having some pain in his right knee most of this summer (2009). As the pain increased we realized that something might be wrong and we made an appointment for him to see an Orthopedist on 8/10/09. At this doctors appointment an X-ray was done of Sam's leg/knee and it showed that there was a mass that the doctor believed to be cancerous. Samuel went into the hospital just a few days later for a series of tests. He received a cat scan, MRI, and also a full body scan. Our family met with the pediatric oncologist the following day and Samuel was diagnosed with a type of cancer called Osteosarcoma (stage 4). The cancer is in his right knee and it has also spread to both of his lungs. This is an aggressive type of cancer and it will be treated with aggressive forms of chemo. We are asking everyone to please lift up our little boy Samuel Gordon Bish in prayer. We pray for healing!! We serve a mighty God and we know that HE can heal Sam if that is his will for Sam's life. Please be prayer warriors along with our family as Sam starts this very difficult journey in his young life. Today's date is August 16th, 2009 and all this has happened in 6 days. His first appointment was on Monday the 10th and by Friday the 14th he was in the hospital getting his Chemo-port put in his chest and a biopsy done. PLEASE KEEP THIS GOING TO YOUR CONTACTS IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK! SAM CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH PRAYERS.WE PRAY FOR HEALING AND PEACE FOR HIS FAMILY. . .There are also 2 younger sisters.
Thank you for all your prayers and support.
