The Presidential and Vice-Presidential debates have had tremendous influence on elections of the past. We imagine that this will be the case for our upcoming elections in November.
We think there are things that need to be seen and heard from each candidate and their party’s platform that will help us know how to vote.
Our job, as always, is to pray and ask God for His wisdom and insight in how to cast our vote. Let’s begin by praying for these public debates where many things may be revealed and a nation may see which path to choose.
Please see the prayer guide below that has been put together in a collaborative effort with many other ministries. Christians across the United States from many streams will be praying together with us on this important matter. Feel free to forward this to everyone you know who will pray.
May God’s grace abound,
Mike and Cindy Jacobs

REJOICE: “This is what the LORD says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army For the battle is not yours, but God’s”. 2 Chron 20:15
