Special Silent Siege for Health Care Summit

By Matt Lockett

The Bound4LIFE team based in Washington, DC is organizing a special 7-day Silent Siege in preparation for the Health Care Summit scheduled for Thursday, February 25. Currently the plans are for President Obama to preside over a gathering with a select bi-partisan representation of Congress at the Blair House which is directly across the street from the White House.

Regardless of which tributary of the MSM you follow, all eyes are on these proceedings. There are nothing but questions right now...BIG QUESTIONS...as to whether this will be a negotiation, a glorified press conference or a grand airing of grievances. We must leave nothing to chance, so we will be relocating our usual Silent Siege at the Supreme Court to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW. That's right in front of the White House in between it and the Blair House. For seven days Bound4LIFE teams from the region will travel in to the District to fuel this daily stand. Then on Thursday we seek to mobilize 100 people to join us for a 4-hour Silent Siege during the Summit.

I want to invite everyone to join us that lives in the DC vicinity or will be in town February 19-25. You can go to the JHOP DC Schedule page to check the times of the Silent Sieges.

Our focus in prayer will be to continue our ongoing stand saying "NO" to taxpayer funding of abortion in health care reform. We will be contending in prayer for the prevailing influence over the minds of our elected officials and the proceedings themselves. We must pray that God would strengthen and fill with courage those Democratic and Republican members of Congress that have taken an unwavering stand against abortion. The inclusion of abortion in health care reform would amount to the greatest expansion of the abortion industry since 1973.

For those of you not able to join us in DC please stand in prayerful agreement with us during these days. Perhaps you could even organize Silent Sieges or corporate prayer meetings during the same times that we're standing here before the White House.

I believe there is still opportunity for a reversal or U-turn to take place on this most pressing issue before the nation.
