UNTIL Election Day: Pray for officials

"1 Timothy 2:1–4 - First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Until Tuesday November 8th, join us in praying for the elected officials in San Bernardino County. Each weekday one city will be highlighted. The names of the local leadership will be identified. If the city has no governing officials, we will pray for the county or state officials in oversight. Included will be a prayer podcast or vodcast with information and ideas on how to pray for those leaders. Introduction & Prayer Challenge

Prayer, Action, Until ...

Though there are many leaders, by praying for them city-by-city, we can cover the entire county. Remember Romans 13:1 ESV Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God." United intercession can move the Lord to institute healthy leaders.
