pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ


I received this email from a pastor's wife friend of mine in North Carolina. We all know the extreme persecution Christians are now suffering. I ask you to pray for them and to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.


This was sent by John Pitzer, formerly at Holy Ghost Church and now New Orleans.  Please offer your prayers and share with as many people as possible.



Dear Friends,

Just a few minutes ago I received the following text message on my phone from Sean Malone who leads Crisis Relief International (CRI). We then spoke briefly on the phone and I assured him that we would share this urgent prayer need with all of our contacts.
"We lost the city of Queragosh (Qaraqosh). It fell to ISIS and they are beheading children systematically. This is the city we have been smuggling food too. ISIS has pushed back Peshmerga (Kurdish forces) and is within 10 minutes of where our CRI team is working. Thousands more fled into the city of Erbil last night. The UN evacuated it's staff in Erbil. Our team is unmoved and will stay. Prayer cover needed!"

Please pray sincerely for the deliverance of the people of Northern Iraq from the terrible advancement of ISIS and its extreme Islamic goals for mass conversion or death for Christians across this region.

May I plead with you not to ignore this email. Do not forward it before you have prayed through it. Then send it to as many people as possible.

Send it to friends and Christians you may know. Send it to your prayer group. Send it to your pastor and phone him/her to pray on Sunday during the service - making a special time of prayer for this. We need to stand in the gap for our fellow Christians.

I am your Brother and maybe it could be time for Christ to come, yet certain things still have to happen, as things must get much worse before they get better for the Anti-Christ to appear, and then a few years later the Battle of Armageddon, so the taking of the Christians is for them to go to their Eternal home.
