Day3

Dear friends of the vision,

It was truly a beautiful day in Salem, Oregon. The wind came up some as we prayed on the steps of the capitol building.

We were so blessed to have several people from different organizations and churches, present to pray with us at the thirtieth capital in the United States. Those with us represented were Capitol Prayer Center, Oregon State Prayer Center, CWA, NDP, YWAM, Strategic Prayer Network, and some local churches and pastors. We were so blessed to have a dear friend originally from Chicago, join us with his beautiful family, now pastoring in Astoria, OR. The pastor from Peoples Church was so kind in allowing us to come each day and pray at his church and attend services. He took the time from his busy schedule of pastoring a large church and prayed with us at the capitol steps. There will be great reward in heaven for those who can hear what the Holy Spirit is saying about praying for America.

The state of Oregon has become extremely liberal. With much prayer from the above mentioned groups and churches, they have experienced a great victory as the State Supreme Court ruled that over 3,000 homosexual marriages were illegal. Other bills are being carefully monitored and testified for and against by these courageous groups.

There is serious concern of a possible Tsunami on the west coast. Scientific evidence recognizes the potential of a major earthquake in this area. Much prayer is being offered for the safety and protection of those who live near the coastal area. Prayer has always been the answerer to problems that face the human race. We must be diligent in our prayer and devotional time with the Lord. We are living in perilous times!

Keep praying as we head for Olympia, Washington.
