PRAY FOR AMERICA: THANK GOD for His many blessings on America throughout it's history. May we then ask that AMERICA once again be a blessing TO GOD, by once again submitting to HIS will in our affairs - both personal and national - that He may truly "heal our land." (2 Chron. 7:14)
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."

WORLD-WDE PRAYER REQUESTS:
April 22 - LATEST SAHEED NEWS! "Saeed Sends Easter Message from Hospital Bed" - CBNNews.com, ; http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2014/April/Saeed-Sends-Easter-Message-from-Hospital-Bed/ "Sometimes we want to experience the glory and resurrection with Jesus without experiencing death with Him," Abedini wrote. "We do not realize that unless we pass through the path of death with Christ, we are not able to experience resurrection with Christ."Abedini signed the message from a "prisoner of darkness in Iran, but free for the kingdom and light."
We need to continue to pray for Pastor Saeed - that his health will improve and that he will be re-united with his wife and two young children who live in the United States. We also remain hopeful that in addition to getting the medical care he so desperately needs, that Iranian officials display the kind of humanitarian treatment that often accompanies the start of the Iranian New Year which began on March 21st. This is the time of year when the Iranian government frequently offers clemency to prisoners of conscience. [If you have not yet, please sign the petition for his clemency- http://beheardproject.com/saeed#sign]
PRAY ALSO : - For comfort and peace for Saeed’s wife and children here in the U.S.\
- For a strong witness and testimony from Pastor Abedini in the prison where God has placed him
- For Christians around the world who are being persecuted for their faith in Christ
- For leadership from the White House and State Department in defending the freedoms of Abedini and other Americans
- GO TO SaveSaeed.org to sign a petition over 600,000 others asking for his immediate release

"National Day of Prayer Event Calls for Prayers to End Abortion" - by Online for Life | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 4/30/14; http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/30/national-day-of-prayer-event-calls-for-prayers-to-end-abortion/
...“Scripture clearly calls us to protect and defend the innocent, and that most certainly includes the unborn. While we should come together to pray for God’s blessing on our country, we cannot expect God to bring revival when we allow an estimated 1.2 million babies to be aborted within our shores every year. Abortion is primarily a spiritual issue, and it is, bar none, the predominant challenge for the American Christian today,” observes Brian Fisher, Founder and President of Online for Life. [Online for Life (onlineforlife.org) "seeks to reach abortion-determined women through online and offline marketing techniques."]
"Study: Abortion Multiplies Women’s Breast Cancer Risk by 2.8 Times" - by Karen Malec | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 4/30/14; http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/30/study-abortion-multiplies-womens-breast-cancer-risk-by-2-8-times/
"An Indian study found a statistically significant 2.8-fold increased breast cancer risk among women who’d had abortions.[1] Dr. Unmesh Takalkar led the study. He serves as a consultant surgeon and chief medical director at United CIIGMA Hospital in India and an endoscopic surgeon and fellow at Johns Hopkins."
"Although dozens of studies dating from 1957 support an abortion-breast cancer (ABC) link[2], the latest study is the seventh on the Indian subcontinent to implicate abortion as a risk factor for the disease[1,3-8], with a Bangladesh study reporting as much as a statistically significant 20-fold risk elevation.[3] Four additional Indian studies and a Sri Lankan study reported findings showing abortion significantly multiplied breast cancer risk between 1.9 and 6.38 times.[4-8] ..."
"Democrat Walks Out of Prayer Event After James Dobson Calls Obama 'The Abortion President' " - by Steven Ertelt | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 5/2/14; http://www.lifenews.com/2014/05/02/democrat-walks-out-of-prayer-event-after-james-dobson-calls-obama-the-abortion-president/
President Barack Obama has a laundry list of a pro-abortion record. He has promoted and supported abortion at every turn. He’s stacked his administration with abortion advocates, including former employees of top abortion advocacy groups. Obama asked God to bless the Planned Parenthood abortion business and celebrated the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, which has resulted in the deaths of 57 million unborn children. It’s no shock that a pro-life advocate like James Dobson would refer to him as The Abortion President.
But, apparently, that was too much for a Democratic lawmaker — who stormed out of a prayer event with Dobson after he referred to Obama as such....
Mr. Dobson’s remarks: “President Obama, before he was elected, made it very clear that he wanted to be the abortion president. He didn’t make any bones about it. This is something that he really was going to promote and support and he has done that, and in a sense he is the abortion president.” ... The Huffington Post reported Mr. Dobson also read from a letter that his group recently mailed that spoke of “the Creator” not holding America “guiltless if we turn a deaf ear to the cries of innocent babies. So come and get me, Mr. President, if you must. I will not yield to your wicked regulations.”
"New Fetal Heartbeat Apps for iPhones Allow You to Hear Your Baby’s Heartbeat" - by Carole Novielli | Washington, DC | LifeNews.com | 4/24/14; http://www.lifenews.com/2014/04/24/new-fetal-heartbeat-apps-for-iphones-allow-you-to-hear-your-babys-heartbeat/ [AS I SEE IT:This article mentions sidewalk counselors using this app BUT what if pro-life teens had these apps on their phones. They could then use it to help friends and classmates who were considering abortions discover the LIFE that they carried. Arguments are nowhere near powerful as hearing their child's heartbeat in speaking with an abortion-minded girl or woman. -Stan]
"This is a great tool for pro-life sidewalk counselors: Fetal HeartBeat Apps. Imagine being at the abortion clinic and allowing a woman seeking an abortion to hear her baby’s heartbeat right on the sidewalk. I have put a list of some of the tools: [One is...
