Message for Day of Prayer
John E. Ruffle, May 1, 2003

To those gathered to pray for the United States of America: Christian greetings in the name of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ!

It is with great joy and anticipation that I write to you and commend today's PRAYER BREAKFAST and WALK (in Maryland, USA) to the grace of Almighty God. Be assured that here in London, England, our prayers are with you.

Those gathered to walk and commune together in prayerful fellowship today have entered a high calling at a strategic time for both the United States of America, Great Britain and freedom-loving nations around the world.

I am filled with immense gratitude that your President has proved himself to be a man of such integrity in this current period of war and crisis. President George W. Bush has acted from principal rather than from expediency: God will bless and honour him and your nation for this.

It is inevitable that his detractors would attempt to defame him; it is inevitable that not all would stand with the bold decisions that he has made in these past months. It is inevitable that mistakes have been made, just as it has also been inevitable that loyal members of the Armed Forces of both our great nations have paid the ultimate price in defending that which is right.

Our prayers go out to the families and loved ones of those who have perished; our prayers are sent to comfort those who have been wounded in the line of fire. Here in Britain, it has been our great privilege - and duty - to stand with the United States in these past months, not just physically, but also in Godly prayer and spiritual leadership.

Your gathering today is, I believe, a catalyst for righteousness and truth across the American continent. May God bless and enrich your nation as a result. In accord with Ephesians Chapter Six, God has granted those that pray an authority to seek out and overcome the forces of destruction, wherever they may be hidden. Your prayers ARE and WILL CONTINUE to make a strategic difference in the streets of your cities, and among the nations of our world.

As Ms. Cari Dominguz, (Chair of U. S Equal Employment Opportunity), addresses your assembly today, may you experience that mighty anointing that the Holy Spirit administers according to the Will of God. May every one of you know that your brethren in Great Britain desire peace, blessing and righteousness for your great land. May you know and experience the close comradeship that comes from our standing shoulder to shoulder with you spiritually in prayers, supplications and intercessions, now and always.

God Bless America!

Humbly, Your servant,
