Dave,
Can you send this to the worldchangers group so they can include this in
their prayers? This email is from a church in Atlanta, Georgia. Thanks!
> Most of our prayer requests
are from Singles, usually for a situation in their life or their
friends/family. That way we have a direct connection for whom we are
praying. This prayer request is an exception -- it's from an Army
chaplain for the men in his care who will be involved in the Iraqi voting
process, which commences in a few days.

> As a transportation
battalion, my unit will be delivering the voting machines and the ballots to
villages and cities throughout Iraq during the upcoming elections. (January
30/31) Our convoys are prime targets for the insurgents because they
do not want the equipment to arrive at the polling stations nor do they want the
local Iraqi citizens to have the chance to vote; timely delivery must occur so
that the elections occur.
>
> Encourage your friends and
family members and those within our churches to pray specifically for the
electoral process.
>
> Historically, the previous
totalitarian regime would not allow individual citizens to
vote. Democracy will not be realized in Iraq if intelligent and
competent officials are not elected to those strategic leadership positions
within the emerging government; freedom will not have an opportunity to ring
throughout this country if the voting process fails.
>
> Announce this prayer request
to your contacts throughout your churches, neighborhoods, and places of
business.
>
> Those with leadership roles
within the local church post this message in as many newsletters and bulletins
as possible.
>
> There is unlimited potential
for God's presence in this process but if we do not pray then our enemy will
prevail (See Ephesians 6:10-17). A prayer vigil prior to the end of
the month may be an innovative opportunity for those within your sphere of
influence to pray.
>
> This is a political battle
that needs spiritual intervention. A powerful story about God's
intervention in the lives of David's mighty men is recorded in 2 Samuel
23:8-33. David and his warriors were victorious because of God's
intervention. We want to overcome those who would stand in the way of
freedom. David's mighty men triumphed over incredible odds and stood
their ground and were victorious over the enemies of Israel. (Iraqi insurgents'
vs God's praying people). They don't stand a chance.
>
> I will pray with my soldiers
before they leave on their convoys and move outside our installation gates here
at Tallil. My soldiers are at the nerve center of the logistic
operation to deliver the voting machines and election ballots. They
will be driving to and entering the arena of the enemy.
>
> This is not a game for them;
it is a historical mission that is extremely dangerous. No voting
machines or ballots: no elections. Your prayer support and God's
intervention are needed to give democracy a chance in this war torn country.
>
> Thank you for reading this
e-mail. Please give this e-mail a wide
dissemination. Thank you for your prayer support for me and my
family. Stand firm in your battles.
