Dear Friend of the Vision,

Can you believe that God has given us another year to obey and honor Him? He is so good to all of us. His mercies endure forever! The Holy Spirit is so patient with this world and yes, America! The scripture is also clear when it says that His Spirit will not always strive with man!

With God’s loving care and wonderful working power in us, we have completed fourteen missions of prayer in fourteen capitals. Each one has had exhilarating experiences as well as great challenges. The most important aspect of this great journey is how much it pleases the LORD!

We now press on to the final phase of the call given to us on March 29, 2001 at 2:30 am. The Spirit simply said, “Pray across America in every State in the union.” This is what we have been doing and will continue to do for nine more months.

I know that we are pleasing the LORD because He keeps speaking to us with His Word and by His Spirit warning of what is to come if we do not return to God and make Jesus Lord. Israel faced a similar decision when Isaiah was raised up to prophesy against them. Isaiah 47:8-9a “You are a pleasure-crazy kingdom, living at ease and feeling secure, bragging as if you were the greatest in the world! You say, “I’m self-sufficient and not accountable to anyone!”” Does this sound like America? This is why we pray at each Capitol building and thank God for His blessings, repent of our sins as a nation, in order to awaken the church, and bring America back to God! We believe He is hearing us as we pray!

Your prayers and support make this daunting task possible! We are strangers to most everyone we meet in each state capital. This is what the Apostle John says about those who support missionaries on their journey for the LORD. “For they are traveling for the LORD and accept nothing from those who are not Christians. So we ourselves should support them so that we may become partners with them for the truth.” 3 John 1:7-8. Thank you for partnering with us this past year. Continue with us as we face the most difficult phase of this assignment.

Praying always with all prayers,

Phil and Vicki

I just want to take a moment to thank and acknowledge our Road Warriors that stand with us. These special people have joined with us and have pledged $100 per month to support this ministry as we visit each Capitol. Maybe this is a challenge that you might like to consider for 2005?

I would also encourage you to follow the Vision on our website at www.PrayerAcrossAmerica.org just click on any date to see pictures of that Capitol visit.
