Attention praying Christians and Church leaders in El Paso, Beaumont and Waco!

This is an important time-sensitive message for those who live in or near El Paso, Waco or Beaumont.

Someone has said that we have a clear gospel for the “down-and-outer”,
but there seems to be no one with a gospel for the “up-and-outer”.

Well, there is!

What if someone could gather the secular business
and community leaders in these cities together in one place (business
owners, CEOs, support staffs and sales forces) for a full
day, and while they were there, present a crystal clear
presentation of the saving gospel of Christ to them in
a way that they would both hear, respect and respond to?

Impossible?

No, not at all.

It happens more than 30 times each year in cities across
America during what is the largest marketplace evangelism ministry
in U.S. history!

Almost 36,000 business people recently in Denver,
15,000 to 22,000 businessmen and women gathered in Detroit,
Portland, and Dayton. They came to hear some of America’s
best-known motivational speakers. These are speakers like,
legendary Christian statesman, Zig Ziglar; America’s Mayor,
Rudy Giuliani; Pastor of the Crystal Cathedral, Dr. Robert
Schuller; Former President and First Lady, George W and
Laura Bush; Former candidate for Vice President, Sarah Palin.
The speaker roster can be found at: www.GetMotivated.com

However, at midday they are introduced to the Son of God!

The last time the event was conducted in El Paso, for example,
as business people in a marketplace setting prayed to receive Christ,
the entire arena erupted with a standing ovation and joyful applause for
a full 2-3 minutes! People are grateful to hear the gospel
presented in the marketplace.

Why are we bringing this to your attention? Why are we writing to you?
We know your heart is to see every person in your city have
an opportunity to hear the gospel in a way that they can understand.

These events are scheduled as follows:

== El Paso, Tuesday, March 9th
== Waco, Thursday, March 11th
== Beaumont, Thursday, March 25th

We also know that you understand that hearing with their
ears isn’t enough. God must impart spiritual gospel revelation
to their hearts before the divine transaction and resulting
transformation can occur.

And, like us, you are convinced that prayer is indispensable
in this process.

Our Covenant Prayer Journey to Israel will start on Friday afternoon. Representatives from Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi will be establishing a covenant relationship with the land and people.

We need your prayers. Here is an edited Prayer Guide provided by Charlotte Merschbrock of Louisiana:

We believe it is a priority that we all begin to focus with concerted prayer for our upcoming trip to Israel! Please let the first fruits of your prayer each day be for the nation of Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem. As we sow this as the first fruits of our prayer, God will bless the remainder of our concerns.

Here is a guide to help you, but please be led by the Holy Spirit—the main goal is that we all join together in prayer!

Prayer Guide:

1. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. (Ps. 122:6-7) Speak peace to the borders of Israel and ask the Lord to bless and protect them. Ask the Lord to be a wall of fire around Jerusalem and the glory in her midst. (Zech. 2:4-5)

2. As you speak His peace over Israel, pray against and bind any strategies of the enemy such as unrest, uprisings, terrorism, or violence. Pray that our time there will not be hindered or thwarted in any way.

3. Each of our states is planning to take gifts from our states stating our support for the nation of Israel.

4. Pray for our appointment with a Knesset member. Pray for favor and for the Lord to arrange the time, the venue, and every detail of our meeting with him.

5. Pray for the release of the financial resources needed by every person on the trip. Airport Taxes have been rising due to fuel costs. Please pray for the Lord’s intervention, for a ceiling on these charges, and for them to even drop by the time of our departure.

We have received word from Roma and Miguel Aleman of horrific violence in Miguel Aleman.

This is more info from Pam Faraone and the Border Sheriff’s Posse                      02.23.2010

From Del Rio to Brownsville, Mexico’s port cities along the US/Mexico border are under siege.  Here is a rough timeline:

02.19.10  Gun battle across from Laredo in Nuevo Laredo, MX between Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel.  These 2 were aligned but are in the process of splitting.   Another shoot-out, reportedly between the Mexican military and a branch of Los Zetas, continued through Nuevo Laredo.

02.20.10  Reports of shoot-outs across from McAllen in Reynosa, MX.

02.22.10  Gun battle between 2 cartels across from McAllen in Reynosa .

02.22.10  Across from Roma, a convoy of military vehicles moved into the town of Miguel Aleman, MX in preparation for an attempted take-over of the government which was expected that night or the following day.

02.23.10  Unconfirmed reports from Miguel Aleman, MX that the government take-over has happened.  Gun fighting is currently taking place, including the use of grenade launchers.  So many family members of the military and police of Miguel Aleman were fleeing to the US that all 3 lanes of the little bridge were opened to facilitate those seeking REFUGE.  By today (23rd) my sources indicated US law enforcement officials were sent to the bridge to protect against the spillover of violence.

02.23.10  There is an expected gun battle tonight or tomorrow 02.24.10, across from Falcon Heights in Guerrero, MX.  Authorities are on alert that those bringing violence could come across Zapata Lake, which sits on the border.

02.23.10  Moments ago, 10:30 PM Mountain Time, a source told me that the bridges between Laredo and Nuevo Laredo are full of people seeking REFUGE from the violence.  This was reported on KRGV-TV.

Just tonight I received an email report from Mexico of bodies on the ground in Reynosa and battles in Hidalgo.
