Dear FReepers,
These are posts made to the PMI group wall asking for urgent prayer. Thank you so much for praying for these people:
Part 1 > Prayer Request from Dan and Marilyn Wilson, Missionaries who are in the areas that are being attacked by ISIS are asking to be showered in prayer.
ISIS has taken over the town they are in today. He said ISIS is systematically going house to house to all the Christians and asking the children to denounce Jesus. He said so far not one child has. And so far all have consequently been killed. But not the parents. They are determined to stick it out for the sake of the families--even if it means their own deaths.
They are very afraid, have no idea how to even begin ministering to these families who have had seen their children martyred. Yet he says he knows God has called them for some reason to be His voice and hands at this place at this time. They are begging for prayers for courage to live out their vocation . And like the children, accept martyrdom if they are called to do so.
Part 2 > One missionary was able to talk to her brother briefly by phone. She didn't say it, but I believe she believes it will be their last conversation. Pray for her too. She said he just kept asking her to help him know what to do and do it. She told him to tell the families we ARE praying for them and they are not alone or forgotten -- no matter what.
Please keep them all in your prayers. This came this morning... Just a few minutes ago I received the following text message on my phone from Sean Malone who leads Crisis Relief International (CRI). We then spoke briefly on the phone and I assured him that we would share this urgent prayer need with all of our contacts. View Post
Part 3 > "We lost the city of Queragosh (Qaraqosh). It fell to ISIS and they are beheading children systematically. This is the city we have been smuggling food to. ISIS has pushed back Peshmerga (Kurdish forces) and is within 10 minutes of where our CRI team is working. Thousands more fled into the city of Erbil last night. The UN evacuated its staff in Erbil . Our team is unmoved and will stay. Prayer cover needed!"
Please pray sincerely for the deliverance of the people of Northern Iraq from the terrible advancement of ISIS and its extreme Islamic goals for mass conversion or death for Christians across this region.
May I plead with you not to ignore this email. Do not forward it before you have prayed through it. Then send it to as many people as possible. Send it to friends and Christians you may know. We need to stand in the gap. Dr. Becky Peters > Sandy Bodwell > Passion for God, Compassion for People. > sandyb@livingstones.ab.ca > Telephone: (403) 347-7311
Prayers up
These missionaries should be handing them guns and ammos along with the bibles.
Prayer - with tears - sent.
I wonder if anyone could get video out, like the holocaust video, then maybe people would realize what’s happening. So many people just don’t believe it unless they see it w/their own eyes. But of course who could see something like that, most probably wouldn’t even look.
Not even so much as a hashtag from this Administration.
My friend, they don’t have guns and ammo, but they have been smuggling food into some of the cities and helping in any way they can. They are commited to staying to help the people of northern Iraq in any way the Lord gives/shows them. Their prayer requests are specific.
I repudiate this administration, and stand with the people who stand with Christ.
"They held in their left hands the torches, and in their right hands the trumpets to blow. And they cried out, “A sword for the Lord and for Gideon!” Every man stood in his place around the camp, and all the army ran." (Judges 7)
How long, O Lord? May it happen again today, in all the places where Your enemies slaughter Your children.
Prayers that God will deliver them from the evil that is ISIS.
Dear Lord! Prayers up.
May God hear our prayers.
Prayers are wonderful, but they should be grabbing weapons and ammo and helping to make the ISIS scum martyrs’ for their cause. As Patton once said, “No soldier ever won a war by dying for his country, he won the war by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his.”
Prayers for ALL the victims of Mohammadan hate.
Boy you got that right!
saying prayers for their safety and for defeat of Isil.
Prayers.
Send your wrath upon them and remove them . Send them to their eternal judgement. Let them reap as they have sewn. Cast them out, and make them no more.
Strenghthen your people and give them your protection and guidance as they walk through valley of the shadow of death.
Remove the scales from the eyes of your people Lord, that everyone will see the true nature of Isis and unite us to stand against the them. Your Will Be Done -Amen
