I want to ask all of you to join us in praying for God's protection and blessing on the fast-approaching FAF Weekend to be held February 16-18 at Trinity Evangelical Free Church in Redlands, California.

A person from Canada just called us this afternoon and said (s)/he would be asking their local churches to be praying for this weekend. This person observed that many things have happened this year which probably makes Adventists even more concerned about this weekend than they were last year.

For example: we are actually meeting a second time. In the meantime, Life Assurance Ministries received the names and the means to send an unprecedented mailing of Proclamation! to 40,000 new names of Adventist leaders and professionals. This mailing has generated an enormous amount of defensive responseóas well as surprising numbers of responses from people thrilled to learn of the magazine and others quietly asking simply to be retained on the list.

In addition, this year has also seen Richard's firing from LLU for the cause of his involvement with Proclamation! and with this website.

Further, Mark Martin was pressured to change the name of his online outreach to Adventists, and videos of the Ellen White Summit Meeting of November, 2005, which defends EGW against the facts revealed about her via websites designed by former Adventists, have gone online. In addition, Dirk Anderson was threatened with a lawsuit regarding the domain name of the website he created: www.ellenwhite.org.

Our Canadian friend pointed out that the spiritual opposition to the truth about Adventism being revealed is likely increasing and suggested that all of us be intentional about praying that God will glorify Himself in this weekend, that He will inspire and protect all the presenters, that He will impress those who need to come to attend, and that He will deeply bless those who attend with riches in Christ Jesus.

I am asking for you to join us in praying for God's blessing and protection and direction for this weekend. For your assistance in praying, below is a list of those presenting/helping:

Thank you, Diana. I have seen the FAF weekend on the prayer circle list. I just wanted to bring it up more consciously to people.

Thanks God for his mighty work! I'm praying for the weekend, and I'm sure, oh how I feel it deeply that it will be a success.

Jesus you are wonderful! Hallelujah to you!
