We are circulating an urgent appeal from Dr. Khaled Leon, one of the key prayer leaders in the Middle East. He is a dear friend and with others will be taking tons of supplies to help the Iraqi Christians that have fled to Kurdistan for refuge from the ISIS killers that have taken over their cities and towns. Please consider providing some financial assistance to this relief effort. Dr. Leon's message and email contact is below.
Thanks for anything you can do to help our Iraqi brothers and sisters, praying and serving in this way.
John Robb / IPC Prayer
To the body of Christ world wide:
It was a great cry in the heart of Nehemiah, that led him to the King's throne to ask for help for his fellow brothers, sisters and families that were desperately surviving the catastrophe in Jerusalem, the city was turned into rubbles, people were hungry, sick and no shelters whatsoever, the pain that turned to fire in His heart consumed him, and gave him that gravity to ask for the King's help (Neh 1).
Nowadays as we watch the news of our fellow Christians in Iraq, living in in-human circumstances, thrown out of their own houses, because of their love to the Lord, no food, water, shelter or medicines, robbed of everything they owned and was driven out walking to the borders tens of kilometers on foot. Their cry is reaching the Lord, and it's time to stand up and like Nehemiah not only pray & fast, but as well, think of how to practically relieve their needs.
A group of us are traveling next week (week of 18th August 2014) carrying 5 tons of medical supplies, canned food, and we really need Tents (water proof), sleeping bags, mats, covers, as winter will soon be here, and their situation will be terrible as they are scattered in gardens, church halls, school playgrounds etc. They will also need clothes and shoes.
As you pray and fast, ask the Lord what can I do? may be you could send money or goods.
Talk to your pastor, and gather whatever Jesus would tell you, to be ready to be shipped to Kurdistan Iraq.
Please, contact us if you need further details.
Blessings,
Dr. Khaled Leon

Almighty God, creator of the Heavens and the Earth, as a nation and as a people we acknowledge that you are the true architect and designer of all nations. You are a loving father who created us out of your own image and likeness and have given us dominion to govern the earth, with power to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of our enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt us.
You created us for a purpose and you have never deviated from it. In Acts 17:26-27, it is written “You have made from one blood every Nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of our dwellings, so that we should seek you, in the hope that we might reach for you and find you, though you are not far from each one of us”.
My Father, Sierra Leone have emerged from one of the most inhu¬man, ferocious and cruel conflicts in the post-Cold war era. The scale of destruction, rape, mayhem, arson and torture perpetrated during our civil war was among the greatest in Africa’s postcolonial history. Women, especially adolescents and young adults, were exposed to extreme sexual brutality at a time when a growing heterosexually-driven HIV pan-demic was occurring in the West African sub-region. We have also experienced economic and social collapse that resulted in human development indicators on employ¬ment, income, health, education, women’s status and child well-being that are among the lowest in the world.
As a nation and as a people, we prostrate before you and confess that our actions of idolatry, witchcraft, occult practices, secret societies, murder, homosexuality, lesbianism, fornication, corruption, selfishness and every form of evil traditions were wrong, ungodly and unfair to the many loved ones we have lost during those times. Please Lord have mercy and exempt us from Judgement. Sierra Leone is still trying to pull through, from the experience and harsh political, social, economic and environmental conditions of the past and have not yet fully recovered.
But your servant David keeps us assured in Psalms 91:3-6; 9-10 that: “Surely you will deliver us from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He said: you will cover us with your feathers, and under your wings we shall take refuge; your truth shall be our shield and buckler and we should not be afraid of the terror by night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday”. Because we have made the Lord our refuge and the most High our dwelling; no evil shall befall us and no plague shall come near our dwelling.
See Lord, we have been fast rated to be the Fastest growing economy in Africa lately affirmed by the IMF and, under the administration of our President have earned the best African Leader 2013. Unfortunately for us today, EBOLA have emerged to be one of the most dangerous and deadly pestilence in human history and have swiftly hit the shores, regions and districts of our nation to abort this testimony, challenge and counter our political and medical strength and make us a laughing stock with our nation’s aspiration towards a middle income and a donor country. Ebola has almost brought us to the state of being a beggar and a mockery among nations.
My Father, My Father I submit to you that: My Country is under attack, My people are under attack, Our Faith is under attack, West Africa is under attack, My Continent is under attack and invasion of one of the most dangerous and deadly pestilence of our time. EBOLA have claimed well over 298 lives and 717 case detected since March 25th to August 6th 2014 totalling 961 deaths and 1,779 detected cases that includes Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and Nigeria (CDC & WHO Ebola outbreak).
The authorities/leaders you have set over us were not pro-active enough; We are losing our Fathers, Mothers, Children, Families, Friends, Heroes and the engineers of Agenda for Prosperity; The rate of infection is spreading, the resources to contain the situation are still inadequate.
The information channels and education level of my people has misguided the battle against EBOLA, the sick are afraid to go to the Hospitals, our medical practitioners are been infected in the cause of service while many are refusing to attend to EBOLA and EBOLA free patients; Division is taking momentum among families, friends, relatives, workmates cause we no longer greet each other with hug, hand shake to feel the warmth; Victims of relatives and society are inevitably abandoned; Insecurity is mounting so everybody is a suspect while many have devised new methods of dress code to be on the safer side.
My Father, there are still some widespread debate going on among so many school of thoughts on whether - Ebola exists or not? or whether Ebola is a biological weapon?; Nations are shutting their boarders against us and at the moment people are no longer allowed to move in and out to other countries; The authorities/leaders of my Country have consented and have quarantine the regions within the nation making livelihood for survival for the ordinary man more and more complex, prices for local commodities and food stuffs are artificially escalating by some of your untrue, ungodly, unpatriotic and exploiting sons and daughters; Whilst others are seeking for Ebola to go away others have resolved for Ebola to stay because their pockets are getting fatter.
My Father, My Father as the state and condition of my country exacerbates with this pestilence, I hereby stand this day as an oracle of Justice over Sierra Leone and echo my voice from the corridors into the chambers of eternity and summon the parliament of Heaven to rewrite an executive and judicial determination of eviction of EBOLA and other related infirmities from out of the territories, boarders, boundaries, regions, districts and streets of Sierra Leone, West Africa and the Continent of Africa.
Declarations
And so by this heavenly accreditation I declare you EBOLA and other related infirmities within the territories, boarders, regions, districts of Sierra Leone, West Africa and the Continent of Africa that you are a trespasser and you are in contempt of the word of the Lord and the decision of heaven and so I stripe you EBOLA and other related infirmities of all influence and authority over the nations;
In the name of Jesus, I relieve you off and dismiss you from ALL your duties, assignment and commission over the nations to the void of space, and I activate and deploy the Blood of Jesus to cleanse and heal us from every virus/diseases/infirmities and pestilence.
In the name of Jesus I assign and put in motion Angelic surveillance within nations to police, arrest and permanently confide every virus/diseases/infirmities and pestilence into gross darkness.
I proclaim and declare a restraining order by the blood of Jesus against further deaths and infections derived from any virus/diseases/infirmities and pestilence within the territories, boarders, regions, districts of Sierra Leone, West Africa and the Continent of Africa.
Towards this end, from on top of the mountains of Zion to the atmosphere, air waves, territories and boarders of Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia and Nigeria: Let the high water, storm, thorns, prickly of EBOLA and other related infirmities be still. I declare permanent rest, stillness, tranquillity, calmness, repose, silence, inactivity and deadlock and my Father because of the voice of your manservant grant us this request in Jesus Name.
GOD BLESS AFRICA, GOD BLESS SIERRA LEONE, GOD BLESS GUINEA, GOD BLESS LIBERIA, GOD BLESS NIGERIA
AND GOD BLESS YOU
The WYPA will connect hundreds of thousands, probably millions, of youth and children around the world in prayer that they may find their unique missions and callings of the Lord and that a whole new generation of Christian leaders may arise in every walk of life.
Next week in Hong Kong, a planning team of 20-25 youth and senior Christian leaders will gather to do the initial planning for the event in 2016. Would you please pray with and for us?
1 For Jerome and Abel Ocampo and their family (leaders of Jesus Revolution from the Philippines) as they take on the leadership of such a major undertaking as the WYPA. Pray His protection, wisdom, guidance and provision for them.
2. For unity and clarity with creativity for the planning team and that each one will be able to give the time and help needed according to his or her gifts and contacts.
3 For the WYPA to become widely known and anticipated by youth and children around the world and that it will catch on as a catalytic movement that is widely supported by Christian ministries and prayer networks around the world.
4 For generous donors to understand the significance of the WYPA and to step forward to provide the resources needed at each step in the process towards 2016 and for the event itself. An estimated $2 million will probably be needed.
God is answering as we cry out to Him about ISIS and its monstrous atrocities upon the Christians and other minorities in northern Iraq. The Iraq and Kurdish armies have managed to retake the Mosul dam, delivering ISIS its first defeat, thank the Lord! Let's continue to pray for the following:
1. That the international community and especially the USA will throw off all timidity and hesitation about taking the fight to ISIS in Iraq and their base in Syria and will fully engage with all their resources to utterly defeat and destroy this terrorist threat to the world.
2. That the new prime minister of Iraq, Haider al-Abadi, will be successful in uniting the Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish faction of the nation in a united front to fight and drive out the ISIS army. They have already retaken the Mosul dam so this is encouraging.
3 That the humanitarian aid effort will be well-coordinated and that there will be enough aid getting to the refugees in Kurdistan and other places to which they have fled for assistance.
4 That the powers of darkness and destruction controlling ISIS will be bound and driven from Iraq and Syria and that the Iraqi and Syrian Christians will be encouraged to continue praying with unity, faith and authority together. That ISIS soldiers will have visions and dreams of Jesus and give up their destructive course.
The NPA will bring together 300 Christian ministry leaders and intercessors from all walks of life and from across the nation to seek the Lord in the spirit of 2 Chron. 7:14 for repentance, reconciliation and restoration of our nation. It will come one week before our national election and will mainly be praying, not presentations or speakers.
1. Please pray for a “Gideon’s band of 300” who are specially called by the Lord for this time in Washington DC.
2. That these two days will be filled with the presence of God, His guidance and anointing, and that we will be able to get on His wavelength together to pray out courageous, history-changing prayers in agreement for our nation at this crucial time in its history.

A Nigerian prayer leader, himself a former Muslim, has sent this provocative and chilling speech of Geert Wilders, a Dutch Member of Parliament and the Chairman of the Party for Freedom in the Netherlands. Here are some excerpts from it to ground and guide your prayers:
I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe...
The Europe you know is changing. You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.
All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe. These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe, street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.
There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe. With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.
Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam , Marseille and Malmo in Sweden. In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.
In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.
Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.
In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin . The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.
In England, sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels, because he was drinking during the Ramadan.
Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya , Israel. I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.
A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe. San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.
Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France. One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays...
The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized.. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Gandhi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages - at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.
Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life.. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.
Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel. First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz, second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense...
In my country, the Netherlands, 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat. Yet there is a danger greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome, Athens and Jerusalem .
Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe , American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe 's children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.
We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.
1 Pray with our brothers and sisters in Christ in Europe that their governments will wake up and take a strong hand in not allowing the Islamic agenda to take over and dominate their societies.
2 Pray for those seeking to reach Muslims with the Gospel for His guidance and blessing and for many more such ministries to begin reaching out strongly and effectively to the burgeoning Muslim immigrant populations.
