                                                 Daily Prayer Requests:

 

                

                                         Please pray for Bishop Michael D. Austin and 

                           First Lady Mattie Austin as they oversee our church.  Pray for

                         their talented and anointed five children and their divine destiny.

 

                       Please pray for the families of men and women, who lost their lives

                             in the 9-11 disaster, that their hurting hearts be made whole.

 

                       Please pray for the many men and women, who rush to answer 911

                        emergency calls that come in everyday, 24 by 7, who rescue and 

                           protect us on an ongoing never ending exhausting schedule.

 

                         Please pray for our nation's truck drivers who haul our consumer

                            goods all over the country everyday, 24 by 7, who deserve our

                            graditude and thanks. One such truck driver saved my life, by

                            blowing his horn repeatedly to wake me up while I was driving

                             alone on a trip  to Columbus, Ohio. "Thank you, Mr. Trucker!"

 

                             Please pray for the many men and women, who pick our fruit,

                             vegatables and other food crops who work in the hot sun for

                              many hours everyday with little pay. Also those that sew our

                                  garments and clothes, and those that make other items.

 

                        Please pray for families that have lost loved ones due to disasters

                          all over the world like floods, hurricanes, mud slides, tornadoes,

                                    cyclones, forest fires, and due to terrorist attacks.

                                     

                         Please pray for our men and women overseas, who are fighting for

                our freedom and security, as well as those, who lost their lives while doing so.

 

                          Please pray for our men and women who were injured in Iraq and

                 other countries overseas as they return to mend and cope with real issues.

 

                      Please pray for ministers, bishops, pastors and the body of Christ whose

                   marriages and homes the enemy has attacked, that they be made whole and

                                                         strong in these last and evil days.

                                                        

                           Please pray for women around the world who are dealing with

                          domestic violence, and that they will call on God, our Lord and

                  Savior Jesus Christ to help them to walk away and be free to laugh again.

                                I am a survivor of domestic violence and a success story.

 

                          Please pray for women around the world that have breast cancer.

                                  I am a survivor of breast cancer and God is my Healer.

 

                          Please pray for those that have lost their jobs, homes, cars, savings,

                             retirement pensions, and businesses; due to foreclosures, fires,

                                    bankruptcy, and the increase in oil and gasoline prices.

                                                                                                                                                                      

Pray for the many things that are happening in our country right now, the financial crisis, lost jobs, foreclosure on thousands of homes across our country, people that are not able to handle the stress in their lives, broken homes, missing women and children.

 

Pray for the Coal Miners who were killed in West Virginia yesterday (April 5, 2010) during an explosion, that God will give them comfort at this time of sorrow and great loss of love ones, family members, dear friends, neighbors and their beloved church members.

 

I currently work part time for Kanawha County Schools Preschool as a Family Resource Worker enrolling children and working with families to ensure that they love, appreciate and are excited about their education beginning from 4 years old to 18 years old and then enjoy life as a college graduate.

                          To All Churches:

 

 

In our city recently, we have lost another young man to violence. Not far away, two brothers died. One accidentally shot the other and then his brother killed himself, because he was so distraught. A few weeks ago, a young boy was shot while sitting on his bicycle. Before that, a house across the street from our church was shot up with more than thirty bullets, no one was injured. This bulletin is titled, ”SPECIAL OPS!” It means, “Operation Power Safeguard.” This “Special OPS!” is not for weak minds, weak knees, silent voices, shaky, flaky, and I want to mind my own business Christians. It is for the Anointed Bible Reading, Faith Believing, Prayer Warriors, God Worshipers, Tongue Talking, Foot Stomping, Hand Clapping, Hand Raising, Kingdom Builders, Apostles, Bishops, Pastors, Preachers, Anointed Leaders, Praise Teams and Worship Leaders, Choirs, Singers and Musicians, Prophets, Prophetesses, Deacons, Teachers, Faith Healers and etc. Lets us band together and pray the devil out of our cities and towns. Start date and time is: RIGHT NOW. Who will join me? Who will raise the bar? Who will step up to the plate? Who will declare an all our war on the devil? This is a Joshua call of urgency; tweet everyone, facebook everyone, call and email everyone you know and let us do it.

Be blessed in the Lord.
