Pray for all those in Authority

Destination:
Washington, D.C.

First on our tour, we met with North Carolina Senator Richard Burr, and shared our prayers with him. How wonderful it was to hear that he had complete faith in the Lord, even asking Him for the wisdom to see and act on God's vision for our government. It was truly a blessing meeting someone so dedicated to serving God as he was.










Following our prayer with Senator Burr, we prayed over Republican Presidential Nominee John McCain's office. We pray that he be protected and that he might personally see the Lord and all that He has done for him. Also we ask you be praying for Senator McCain, his family, and his campaign as the Election draws near.







On our subway ride to the Capitol Building from Russell Senate Office Building, Senator Burr caught us again. Since he was running late he jumped in the subway car with Mona, Ervie, and Jessica continuing to talk with them until we reached the Capitol.







Upon our arrival at the Capitol Building we were met by an assistant to Senator Burr, Katie, who gave us a grand tour of the history surrounding the building. Coincidentally, it was her last tour as a staff member of the Capitol, as she was leaving for New Mexico to aid her ailing grandfather. We were truly blessed by her knowledge and joy in sharing our nation's history with us. We ask that you join us in praying for her journey, and her grandfather's health, so that she may return someday to Washington, and give more tours of the building she loves so very much.


After the tour, we progressed on to the Hart Senate Office Building where we prayed with Senator Obama's aid Erick. And what a true blessing it was to see that someone so close the Democratic Presidential Nominee shares a common belief that God's presence in Washington will make a tremendous difference in the upcoming elections, and subsequently, in the life of Barack Obama. We ask that you share our prayers that the Lord let righteousness rule in Obama's life and that he and his family be blessed.
