1.0 From Jucabeto from Cali, Colombia

Dear Brothers and Sisters:

I'm kindly asking you to pray for my father Alvaro Bejarano who's been through 10 surgeries in his back over his life time and now he's in a wheel chair. He's 76 years old and was a very active man but now frustration a depression are appearing on daily basis. I'm writing this request from Cali, Colombia and I beg to pray for his healing and for his depression. He doesn't believe in supernatural healing. He's a well known journalist around the country and he feels abandoned by his old friends. He feels lonely and hopelessly. Thanks for your mighty prayers and I confess that the Lord will do something mighty in his life to attract him to HIM. God Bless You All.

2.0    From: Brigade Chaplain, Headquarters, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd
         Airborne
         Division, Baghdad, Iraq
         9 August 2003

Dear Steve:

Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

My name is Jim Murphy, and I am chaplain for the Second Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division. Although you don't know me, I have been blessed and encouraged by your website for over a year. I am writing to ask your help. We have been conducting combat operations in Iraq for four months now. Our paratroopers have fought extremely well, rooting out, killing, and capturing Saddam Fedayeen in urban terrain where mechanized units could not.

While our men continue to perform well, we have run into spiritual resistance here that requires me to ask the aid of the Body of Christ in prayer. Until we reached Baghdad, we did not lose a single soldier killed, despite having been in a full-on fight for five days in which we killed over 500 enemy. In Baghdad we have lost 9 men killed to command-detonated mines, ambushes, and also some freak accidents. There is no doubt in my mind that there is a war going on in the heavenly realm that directly impacts the physical. As we close in on the enemy, we are running into the wrath of the evil one much like Jehoshaphat did when he, Ahab, and the King of Edom cornered the King of Moab in 2 Kings chapter 3. I know you are fighting on many fronts for the Kingdom, but I want to ask you to post our prayer needs on your website for the following:

Pray against the spiritual forces of darkness here, particularly against rage, the antichrist spirit, and the Prince of Persia;

Divine protection for our soldiers;

Salvation and spiritual growth for our soldiers;

For God to deliver our enemies, especially Saddam Hussein, into our hands. I believe that this is not only a chance to break the back of several Islamic terror organizations, but also a chance to break down spiritual oppression so the church here can flourish again.

Thanks for your time and all you do. I hope you can include us. You are a blessing to the Kingdom and to America.
