PRAYER ALERT! "As Many as 108 People May be Missing in Washington State Mudslide" - March 25th; Presidential Prayer Team News Watch/ "Authorities are searching for more bodies after a massive mudslide in a rural part of Washington state killed at least eight and possibly left more than 100 missing, while crews battle uneven ground and rising waters. A 1-square-mile mudslide struck Saturday morning in Snohomish County, critically injuring several people and destroying about 30 homes. Eight bodies have been pulled from the scene and authorities described the search for additional survivors to be "grim." John Pennington, emergency response managing director, said there are reports of up to 108 people missing in the mudslide but noted that number is unconfirmed. \Snohomish County Fire District 21 Chief Travis Hots said, "We didn’t see or hear any signs of life out there today," adding that they did not search the entire debris field, only drier areas safe to traverse. "It’s very disappointing to all emergency responders on scene.". (SOURCES: Fox News, Los Angeles Times)
As the Lord leads, please pray:
For rescue crews and other first responders as they work through unsafe conditions in search of the missing.
For families and friends as they await information regarding loved ones who may have been caught up in the mud slide.
SIGN A PETITION TO THE UN FOR THE PROTECTION OF CHRISTIANS :" The church in Syria has shone brightly for 2,000 years. But today violence and persecution threatens its survival. Thanks to an incredible response, Open Doors is helping 8,000 families in Syria survive each month. We believe the signatures and prayers of 500,000 people will encourage the UN to act and protect the rights and lives of all Syrians, especially the vulnerable Christian community."

:"Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker believes he can do all things through Christ, but an atheist group charges that he cannot do all things through Christ on his official social media platforms. The Freedom From Religion Foundation has demanded Walker remove posts from his official Facebook and Twitter feeds that read, “Philippians 4:13.” “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,” the verse reads. The atheist outrage over the governor’s beliefs seems almost unbelievable..."

Michigan school administrators with one district have finally booted a 30-year-old written policy that gives employment preferences to women, minorities and non-Christians, saying they don’t know how the caveat got there in the first place...The school district and union members that serve the area teachers removed the clause shortly after it was brought to their attention.(Sources: Washington Times, Fox News)

"New Video Powerfully Shows the Travesty of 56 Million Abortions" - by Steven Ertelt | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 3/24/14;http://www.lifenews.com/2014/03/24/new-video-powerfully-shows-the-travesty-of-56-million-abortions/
"Today, Life Dynamics, a national pro-life organization located in Denton, Texas, has released a new video comparing unborn babies killed inside American abortion clinics to those killed from American wars. According to the latest statistics, there were 1.06 million abortions reported in the United States for the year 2011, the last year the stats have been publicly recorded. From 1973 through 2011, at least 56 million unborn children have been killed in abortions.
Mark Crutcher, president of Life Dynamics in explaining why they created this video said, “We did this video because it’s very easy to talk about 55 million dead babies but no one can fully wrap their minds around those numbers. This will help America understand just how overwhelming these numbers are and demonstrate the magnitude of abortion in the United States..."
"Oscars' Fantasy on the Left Coast" - Suzanne Fields | Mar 07, 2014; http://townhall.com/columnists/suzannefields/2014/03/07/oscars-fantasy-on-the-left-coast-n1805232/page/full
"...Sometimes life really does imitate art. The Barry Goldwater Institute, a think tank devoted to free market and libertarian values, is pushing bipartisan legislation in the states to solve a problem highlighted in the movie "Dallas Buyers Club." Legislation called "The Right to Try" would enable the terminally ill to bypass the bureaucratic red tape of the Federal Drug Administration to gain access to promising drugs that have passed the first phase of human trials, but are unavailable to the dying. This would be deemed "compassionate use." Hollywood can sometimes inspire serious ideas. The Lord works in mysterious way, and that's no fantasy."
