Dateline: Saturday August 16, 2008: TIME DATED MATERIAL….Operation Deliverance II This letter is from OC Sheriff Kevin Beary and OC Chaplains’ Coordinator Miguel Pagan inviting the Body of Christ to participate in Operation Deliverance II, a concerted prayer siege in one of Central Florida’s highly crime ridden areas. Here are a few pertinent details (with more info in the letter below). Operation Deliverance II DATES: August 18 - September 26 SITE: YMCA on Oakridge 1- Come out for the opening session on August 18th at 7 PM. Spend that first hour with the rest of the Body as we corporately launch OD II. 2- Field a prayer team to go on site to pray on one of the other 39 evenings. We are one Body in Christ and we do not stand alone…nor should we! Thank you for participating in this crucial prayer initiative. For the KING and HIS KINGDOM! Maureen Bravo - Intercessory Prayer Network of Central Florida - Maureen@ruii.org~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Orange County Sheriff’s Office Chaplain’s Program is asking for your assistance and participation in an event that will unite law enforcement, places of worship and the community in making a difference in our neighborhoods particularly when crime is affecting us all. The event “Operation Deliverance II,” consists of area churches and ministries volunteering at least one hour to pray in a designated area for forty straight days without interruption. For this event we have partnered with the Oakridge YMCA located at 814 W. Oakridge Rd. The times will always remain the same (7 pm-8:00 pm M-F and 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm on S-Sun). All we ask is that you select a day between the dates of August 18 through September 26, 2008. There is no doubt that prayer is a strong tool to reach peace and harmony. Doctors encourage patients and relatives to use prayer as part of the healing process for their patients. We too could use prayer as a tool to bring peace, harmony and the end of violence in our communities. This is a prayer event, music instruments are welcomed but not loud speakers or megaphones. You are encouraged to bring church bulletins or brochures to hand out. Through you we want to invite others to pray for the community and get involved. This event has been conducted in other parts of Orange County and the City of Orlando and it has been very successful. Please consider our request to host one of the days of prayer by gathering members of your congregation for at least one hour at the mentioned location. Remember you select the date. The only thing we ask is that you be there for at least one hour and that a day is not missed .Please contact me to schedule your congregation by calling 407-254-7119 or email me at Miguel.pagan@ocfl.net.Your cooperation is vital. Please join us in this effort in making a difference in our community and ending violence once and for all. Sincerely, Kevin E. Beary Orange County Sheriff and Captain Miguel A. Pagán Chaplain Program Coordinator | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Praise Report for National Day of Prayer The May 1st National Day of Prayer was indeed a blessing for those of us who participated here in Central Florida. It was kicked off early in the morning by several local prayer breakfasts, including the 7 AM 41st Annual Central Florida Mayors Prayer Breakfast at the Ballroom at Church Street downtown. 350 people gathered with Mayors, Commissioners and other elected officials from 20 cities and 3 Counties. Special guests were the 35 + Law Enforcement Leaders and their Chaplains from the Tri-County area. They were honored and encouraged by the prayers offered for them, asking for protection for them as they serve to preserve the peace in our communities. “Meet at City Hall” – a local 12 Noon - 1 PM grassroots prayer initiative - brought “on site prayer” to over 27 local City Halls and County Courthouses. Whether in a larger group, or simply 2 or more gathered in His Name, those who participated reported a sweet unity in the Body, cooperative corporate prayer, and a precious Presence of the Lord at each venue! A very special thank you to all those who stepped up and helped make it possible! Numerous NDP observances took place in the evening at venues across Central Florida. The closing event of the day was a city-wide, bilingual prayer and praise gathering at Centro Cristiano Restauracion / Restoration Christian Church on Chickasaw Trail, bringing together those from different cultures, languages and ethnic groups. Led by Tomas Lares, State of Florida NDP Coordinator, we moved from “the microcosm to the macrocosm”, praying for the transformation …of individual hearts, families, communities, then cities, states, and nations. The evening concluded as we entered corporately into the Ten Days of Constant Prayer (May 1st-10th), leading up to the Global Day of Prayer, which will take place in 212 nations on Pentecost Sunday, May 11th. From the rising of the sun to the going down, there was a great release of prayer from the “Children of the Light!” Pray that it be sustained prayer, extending throughout the Body of Christ here in our Central Florida area! AMEN! Joyfully submitted by Maureen Bravo, “Friend” of the NDP – Central Florida Area | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

On that day, Christians will be on site, covering every City Hall and County Courthouse in Central Florida with a blanket of prayer from 12 N – 1 PM.

Zacharias 2008 Honorary Chairman, National Day of Prayer Task Force Holy Father, in a world where so many are hungry, You have given us food in abundance; In a world where so many are hurting, You offer to bind up our wounds; In a world where so many are lonely, You offer friendship to every heart; In a world longing for peace, You offer hope. Yet, we are so stubborn and resistant. Have mercy upon us, Lord. Our nation is at a crossroads this year; we look to you to be our strength and shield. Please give us the guidance to elect one who will honor you and to respond to the wisdom from above so that our hope may be renewed and our blessings be treasured.

Zacharias Oración por nuestra nación Dr. Ravi Zacharias Padre santo, en un mundo donde hay tantos hambrientos, nos has dado alimento en abundancia. En un mundo donde hay tantos sufriendo, nos ofreces vendar nuestras heridas. En un mundo donde tantas personas se sienten solas, ofreces amistad a cada corazón. En un mundo que añora la paz , nos ofreces esperanza. No obstante, nosotros somos tan obstinados y nos resistimos. Ten misericordia de nosotros, Señor. Este año nuestra nación se encuentra en una encrucijada; Alzamos nuestros ojos pidiéndote que seas nuestra fortaleza y nuestro escudo. Danos, te pedimos, la guía para elegir a aquél que te honre y escuche la sabiduría que viene de lo alto de tal forma que nuestra esperanza pueda renovarse y podamos atesorar bendiciones.
