Day1

Dear friends of the Vision,

It was a beautiful day in Juneau, Alaska! It rains often here but we were favored with warm temperatures and a gentle breeze coming through the valley.

This prayer time was unusual in the fact that it was National Day of Prayer across America. There were surely thousands of people at their state capitals, city, or town halls, praying with thanksgiving, repenting for the sins of the nation, praying for national and state leaders, and for our military. There was a strong turnout in Juneau with Academy school students, parents, state leaders, and the color guard. It stirred our hearts to see the unity of several churches and pastors who not only participated with the NDP, but remained after school children left and continued with Prayer Across America.

There is a great need for an awakening in Juneau and other major cities in Alaska. Much like most states in the mainland, we must be in obedience with what the Spirit of God is saying and doing, to prepare America for a new day in the Spirit. There are many that oppose the Word and the Spirit of God, but there are many who will not be denied and are constantly pressing the throne of God as to what and where and how we are to go forward as a great army. We have left the political arena unattended too long! There are some great miracles happening in many states and the Holy Spirit is changing hearts and minds concerning laws and justice in America.

We press on to Boise, Idaho as we fly back to Seattle and pick up our RV and car. We will stop in Pasco, WA where Pastor T.G. Morrow began his ministry as a young pastor. It will be good to visit where the one who mentored us in Quincy, IL, started his life-long love for the Word and winning people to Jesus. When he challenged us to come to Chicago some 26 years ago, he reminded us that you can't convert fence post to John 3:16. I took the hint and we moved to Chicago for a ministry challenge that would changed Vicki and me, and our family forever!

Pray for us as we step to the capitol building in Boise, one of the most conservative states in the union. However, it is being marked for change by other forces. It is time to not only to hold fast in our faith but get deeply involved in the prayer groups, organizations that can affect change in our local, state and national policies. Our window of opportunity is brief, do not be remiss in this great privilege of Kingdom work!

Bless you for caring!!
