Brian has returned to Iraq Feb 2006.....Our hearts go out to the families who have lost their brave soldiers during this time of war and to all the families who still have loved ones over seas ...............God, somehow give these precious families peace..........You said that you would never leave us nor forsake us and you left us the Comforter, the Holy Spirit to give us the comfort that we so desparately need in times of sorrow and despair..........Please be with all of the loved ones, moms and dads, husbands and wives, be with them today and encourage them with Hope in YOU for you are our only Hope in times of trouble..........Your Word says that in this world we will have many troubles, but "I have overcome the world"........we thank you that you have come to give your people hope.......bless all who have loved ones overseas in Kuwait,in Iraq, in Afghanistan, in Korea, in Germany, in Bosnia, in our own country who are serving, protecting, sacrificing for us a nation......Thank you Lord for our allies, for Australia and Briton who have shouldered with us to help fight this battle........ May YOU be High and Lifted up and Glorified in and through this time of war.......for the battle is not ours, saith the Lord.......the Battle belongs to the Lord of Hosts, the Lord Almighty whose arm is still not too short that it cannot save and His ear is still not too heavy that He cannot hear the cries of His People........We cry out to you today, hear our cries quickly Lord ............thank you in your Precious and Most Holy Name I pray, the Name that is above ALL names, JESUS..........AMEN!!
