| BELOVED FAMILY of the MOST HIGH GOD! |
|
|

|
| Before you begin to read this weekly PRAY CALIFORNIA Newsletter, let's take a deep breath and thank our Creator for showering us with His Love and His Presence, and for giving us LIFE! Let's invite Precious Holy Spirit to fill us, to lead us, to help, comfort, and teach us...He is so good! "Thank You LORD GOD ALMIGHTY for trusting us to represent You well, and to be a lighthouse for You during these ever-challenging times! We are honored to be Your children and we choose to keep our eyes fixed on You, not being overcome by evil but overcoming evil with good!" |

| | In answer to the fervent prayers of God's people, these wicked Bills were defeated! - AB 315 was a measure designed to silence pro-life clinics by defining pro-life business speech as a form of misleading false advertising. - AB 710 was another pro-abortion boondoggle to create a "public awareness campaign" to promote abortion services to the estimated annual costs from $5 million to $8 million dollars. The author’s stated intent is to provide exclusive funding for abortion clinics. The bill directs the state government to orchestrate targeted propaganda through an “awareness campaign” against pro-life clinics and crisis pregnancy centers because those businesses choose not to provide abortion services. - SB 36 was a so-called abortion "safe-haven" bill dreamed up by Senator Nancy Skinner. The blatantly unconstitutional virtue signaling bill pandered to abortionists and those who profit from human trafficking. - This information provided by our friends and ministry partners at Right to Life League www.righttolifeleague.org |

|
| | | Many of you know United State Supreme Court-approved Attorney Allan Parker as a bold and courageous 'Leader amongst Leaders', especially in the pro-life movement as he was lead counsel for Norma McCorvey, the Roe of 'Roe vs Wade', and for children in the school system. You can read a little more about him: Allan Parker | The Justice Foundation. |

|
| Here at PRAY CALIFORNIA, we recognize Allan as an Apostle with a Pastor's heart, one sent on a mission for LIFE whom the Lord has set in position for such a time as this. He is one who walks in humility, wisdom, discernment, revelation, and in the authority of the LORD. One who stands firmly upon God's Word, influencing the nation and making Christ known. He is also a prayer warrior, a worshiper, one who puts Yeshua first in his life, in his marriage, his family, his ministry, his law practice. We are extremely blessed that Allan is our beloved friend, a ministry partner, our pro-life covering, and one of our Conference Speakers this October!
Allan called for a 72 Hour Prayer Strike for the urgently important Hearings at the Fifth Circuit Court last week regarding the abortion pill. He will be sharing about that on our Zoom call. Please note: Usually we offer thanks and praise for over an hour before we introduce our Guest Speaker(s), but on this Wednesday's call we will introduce Allan at 12:25 as he has other commitments...and it is REALLY important we hear his Report and insight on how to pray. He was boots on the ground last week! Please join us and invite others who are interested in LIFE.

| | PRAYER FOCUSES These HORRIBLY ATROCIOUS attacks are happening against babies and children. We need to be aware, pray, take action! 1. In the past 24 hours, I've read about a 19-year-old teenager who went to the hospital for back pain. She denied that she was pregnant. She went into the hospital bathroom, gave birth to a 30-month-old, fully intact baby (able to live outside the womb), then killed the newborn boy and hid him in the trash can. A hospital worker noticed an unusual amount of blood on the floor, and found the trash bin was heavier than usual...therein lay the lifeless baby... A woman in Nebraska provided abortion pills that she purchased from India (illegal in Nebraska) to give to her 18-year-old daughter. The daughter aborted the nearly 30-week-old baby. Abortions in Nebraska were illegal after 20 weeks at the time, then they were illegal at 12 weeks, now abortions are illegal in most cases. The grandmother of the aborted baby and the mother, her teen daughter, burned the baby and threw the child in a field...
Woman Who Killed Her 29-Week-Old Unborn Baby and Set It on Fire Pleads Guilty - LifeNews.com Please make your family and friends aware of THE SAFE HAVEN LAW which allows a parent to anonymously surrender their unharmed infant at a designated place within a certain time frame...there is NO reason a parent needs to abort or murder their baby! Drop-offs are typically at a fire station or a hospital...no judgement! Get more information and check your State here: www.nationalsafehavenalliance.org 2. Can you imagine if your innocent first grade daughter was sexually attacked in the classroom?! The little girl was pulled under a desk by two boys, then forced to perform a sex act on one boy while the other one filmed it on the school's iPad. Six years old! The video shows the girl fought back but the boys overwhelmed her. And then you discover the school administration saw the film but did not immediately contact you and continued to have your traumatized daughter sit next to those boys in the classroom?!
Parents Outraged After 6-Year-Old Allegedly Sexually Assaulted By Peers Who Filmed on iPad (substack.com) 3. It is no wonder that youth are depressed, sexually confused, suicidal! It is vitally important for parents to know what their children are being taught in school, and what their 'class assignments' are...there are demonically led teachers with evil intent to lure children into their fantasies and sex crimes. Pray those teachers are discovered and justly dealt with. School assigned "sex game" to kids, so parents fight back (substack.com) 4. Many of our ministry partners and friends are losing loved ones, both young and old. We never know when their time, or ours, will come to leave this earth. May we all be bold and share the salvation message, the hope we have of eternal life with our everlasting God, the Angels, and the Saints who have gone before us. Please pray for comfort for the families and for the Lord to fill the huge holes in hurting hearts. "Weep with those who weep" - Romans 12:15b "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints." - Psalm 116:15 |

| | | | | PRAISES: - Thank you to those who prayed for my Mom. PTL, she is home from the hospital! - "Thank You Lord that the weather is nice for our homeless population here in El Dorado County, for the Upper Room that offers free daily dinners, for the Bible Studies that our Jonathan Gainsbrugh and Jane McGinnis hold for the homeless that have grown and multiplied, and for the Shelter that is now open!" PRAYERS: - Integrity and accountability to flow within our government and educational systems. - We pray God's shalom over our elderly population, and a mighty work of Evangelism to arise in El Dorado County. SCRIPTURAL DECLARATION: "For the scepter of the wicked shall not rest on the land allotted to the righteous..." - Psalm 125:3 |

| | | Most of you know that we are involved not only in California and America, but in other countries. Our Ministry Partner and Beloved Brother in Pakistan, Pastor Suba, sent these prayer requests:
Pakistan is experiencing unprecedented civil unrest where authorities and civilians are face to face. Many people are dead already, hundreds are missing. Over 7,500 political arrests have been made. Media is shut down and only filtered news is going out. There is restricted access to the Internet.
Our Ministries need wisdom and discernment at this critical hour. Please pray for the safety of the church, our staff, and our people.
As PRAY PAKISTAN is growing into other districts and as we are gathering pastors and leaders together, there are many more children. For the first time, we are starting Bible Study groups for the children next month, along with another PRAY PAKISTAN Conference. Thank you all so much for your prayers, love, and support! |

| 1. ISAIAH 62 continues. Details: Isaiah 62 Fast – A Global Solemn Assembly 2. SHAVUOT begins this Friday May 26th at sunset. Shavuot is a two-day holiday that commemorates the date when God gave the Torah to the Jewish people at Mount Sinai over 3,000 years ago. It is preceded by 49 days of counting the Omer in eager anticipation of this Jewish holiday. Many families read through the 10 Commandments, we love that! 3. PENTECOST this year falls on Sunday, May 28th. It is observed on the seventh Sunday after Resurrection Sunday aka Easter (April 9th). On Pentecost Sunday, the Holy Spirit filled the Church with holy fire, power, and tongues, and 3,000 new believers came to follow Yeshua! The account in Act 2 reports that after Yeshua ascended into Heaven, His followers were gathered together for the Feast of Harvest (aka Pentecost), and the Holy Spirit “filled the whole house where they were sitting” - Acts 2:2. “All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them” - Acts 2:4. 4. 13 MERCIES of GOD Declarations begin May 28th through August 30th Prayer Points Strategy: There are 13 Cries for Mercy found in Exodus 34. We will join in this repentance and prayer for Israel's protection, and for the Mercy of God to intervene to make His Name known in the land so that a 'Spiritual Awakening' will rise up! We will read, declare, and pray through one of the Mercies weekly, beginning on this week's Zoom call. You can click the link and be ready to pray. Jerry and Margie Bowers, the authors of it, live in Texas but are in Israel now on assignment. They suggest people declare each scripture at the head of each week and then daily for that week.
