Your Prayers are Urgently Needed

Your Special Prayers are Urgently
Needed today Through Sunday
-- Election Day in Iraq--

SPECIAL REQUEST
FROM DBC MEMBER LYLE SHACKELFORD,
SERVING AS A CHAPLAIN WITH U.S. ARMY UNIT IN IRAQ:

As a transportation battalion, my unit will be delivering the voting machines and the ballots to villages and cities throughout Iraq during the upcoming elections.

(January 30/31) Our convoys are prime targets for the insurgents because they do not want the equipment to arrive at the polling stations nor do they want the local Iraqi citizens to have the chance to vote ; timely delivery must occur so that the elections occur.

Encourage your friends and family members and those within our churches to pray specifically for the electoral process.

Historically, the previous totalitarian regime would not allow individual citizens to vote. Democracy will not be realized in Iraq if intelligent and competent officials are not elected to those strategic leadership positions within the emerging government; freedom will not have an opportunity to ring throughout this country if the voting process fails.

Announce this prayer request to your contacts throughout your churches, neighborhoods, and places of business. Those with leadership roles within the local church post this message in as many newsletters and bulletins as possible.
There is unlimited potential for God's presence in this process; but if we do not pray, then our enemy will prevail (See Ephesians 6:10-17) A prayer vigil prior to the end of the month may be an innovative opportunity for those within your sphere of influence to pray. This is a political battle that needs spiritual intervention.

A powerful story about God's intervention in the lives of David's mighty men is recorded in 2 Samuel 23:8-33. David and his warriors were victorious because of God's intervention. We want to overcome those who would stand in the way of freedom. David's mighty men triumphed over incredible odds and stood their ground and were victorious over the enemies of Israel. (Iraqi insurgents' vs God's praying people). They don't stand a chance.

I will pray with my soldiers before they leave on their convoys and move outside our installation gates here at Tallil.

My soldiers are at the nerve center of the logistic operation to deliver the voting machines and election ballots. They will be driving to and entering the arena of the enemy. This is not a game for them it is a historical mission that is extremely dangerous. No voting machines or ballots. No elections. Your prayer support and God's intervention are needed to give democracy a chance in this war torn country.

Thank you for reading this e-mail. Please give this e-mail a wide dissemination. Thank you for your prayer support for me and my family. Stand firm in your battles.

Prayer chain for our Military...please don't break it

Please send this on after reciting the short prayer. Our soldiers need our prayers ... please don't break it.

Prayer
"Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands.. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Please bless the people of Iraq as they go to their polls to vote on Sunday. Give them the courage to never give up in their quest for freedom. I ask this in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen."

When you receive this, please stop for a moment and say a prayer for our troops around the world and the persecuted people of the world who live under tyranny. There is nothing attached.... ... Just send this to all the people in your address book.

Do not let it stop with you, please.... Of all the gifts you could give a US Soldier, Sailor, Airman, Marine & others deployed in harm's way, prayer is the very best one

Our brave military, our courageous Commander-in-Chief and many Americans have worked so hard to bring Democracy and the right to vote to the people of Iraq. There is no turning back in our battle on terrorism and our battle to help these persecuted people to elect their own leaders.

We have all prayed, sent items to our troops, school supplies to the Iraqi children, etc. We are coming down to the wire on Sunday in our efforts to help these people in their long battle for their first election in a free county.

Thank you for joining this prayer chain and praying constantly for the success of Sunday's election in Iraq. Let us continue to pray for the safety of the Iraqi people and our brave military as well.

Please take the time to view the following video.
Lest we Forget!
