more fully into their hearts so that they might be more effective in spreading
the Word of God.
Diocese of Virginia
Saint Joseph of Arimathea Anglican Orthodox Church is
under a lot of stress. We all are, but
they need even more prayer. Rev Roger
Jessup, their wonderful minister, had to retire as he was so pressed by the
duties of a primary care giver, in addition to all the worries of this world. Pray for trust in God for each member of the
parish and for them to find economic relief.

For Our
Country
Our country has lost its way. Over half the people that vote, voted for a
government that promises them things it cannot deliver in return for their
souls which it can, will and does take.
Our foreign policy backs the rise of Islam, we turn our backs on those
who would follow God and arm those who murder them. Pray God will raise up a leader from among
the people who can turn the country’s course 180° and attempt to come back to God.
Pray the people will recognize that they are headed down a smooth wide
road into the pit, a road that will get smoother and smoother, steeper and
steeper until the only possible way is down.
Down, into the depths of the pit.
Pray people will recognize there is:
•
One True and Triune God who is goodness in and
of Himself
•
All religions are not equal
•
All ways of life are not equal;
•
The Bible holds the Key to Life;
•
All rights come from God, not the State;
•
Good;
•
Bad;
•
Evil;
•
Right;
•
Wrong;
•
Allah is the Devil;
•
Abortion is no more than sacrifice of children
to Baal.
Pray this recognition will not come
too late. Pray we will, each of us, do
our duty to God, Country and Family, putting His Honor above all.
Persecuted
The Islamist group (ISIS) took over
Quaragosh, the biggest Christian city in Iraq; 164 men, women and children were
beheaded. People ask where is God? The real question is where are the people to
enforce God’s will? Pray the people of
the world will see Allah for who he is, the Devil. Pray for those who remain behind that they
might find a way to safety.
Around the world, Christians are under
attack, not only in the Muslim world, but from Hindus and others in India. Also, they are under continual attack in the
name of Separation of Church and State in the western world, as it becomes
actively atheist or pro-devil buddy.
Please pray for God’s guidance and protection for all persecuted Christians
and those around them.
Education
Aaron is in need of God’s guidance to see what he
needs to do to fulfill his potential and live his life in a manner which will
bring true happiness to him.
Thomas Dabney is attending Delta State
University in Cleveland, Mississippi, to finish his Bachelor’s Degree. Please pray for Thomas to focus on education
and do his very best at school.
Thanksgiving
Alejandra
Jasso (Ines Witherspoon’s mom and Doug Witherspoon’s mother in law)

please give thanks for that. She has continued healing and not rejected the
transplant, please give thanks for that also.
Everyone continues to pray and hope for the kidney to stay accepted,
please pray for that also.
