We have had an amazing year of prayer conference calls in 2019.  God brought us great experts who gave us insight and wisdom on how we can be praying about critical issues. Let’s look back over the last 12 months–to see what we have covered in prayer, who joined us, and how we can keep praying with an update. Links are provided with each call so if you missed it, it is easy to click and watch!

These calls have been an amazing opportunity to not only educate ourselves on critical issues and pray together but to also bless those guests who are in the thick of the issues we are covering.  We have heard from multiple guests that the call was a real encouragement and blessing to them. This tool that God has given IFA to gather intercessors for targeted prayer on critical topics is one of the highlights of what we do.  We love interacting with intercessors through the phone introductions, the comments via Facebook and the webcast, as well as the feedback we get via emails.  IFA is blessed to have such an awesome vehicle to pray in unity.  Pray for an impactful year of calls in 2020.  Pray for additional growth in quality and technical ability. Our goal is to get better with each call. If you haven’t joined us for a call, make it your resolution to do so in January!

Our mighty God is so good to answer our prayers. Hope is ignited. Faith is propelled by the Author and Finisher of our faith and we love Him more for His faithfulness.

I thank God for Dave Kubal and IFA. This year they have gone beyond all past years in reach and influence. No longer do civil leaders think of intercessors as those “little people at home.” Now they are more aware of the great army the Lord has raised and is equipping to perform His will in the land. Give a monetary blessing to further their work!

Question: how do I learn about these calls?

    These calls are on the first Friday of every month at 12:15 EST. Information is on the IFA website or Facebook page. The “pop up calls” were special calls during the month. I get a robo call every month reminding me of the first Friday call and also a call for special times. I’m not sure how you get on the call list but anyone from IFA can answer your questions. The calls truly are inspiring and a blessing.

Lord, Help us to understand that all our rights are in jeopardy including religious rights. We seek your face for the sake of those who are doing their best to follow you. May you have mercy on our nation and deliver us from those who seek to destroy our nation and control our religious freedoms that were fought for by our service men and women. We trust you and you alone for deliverance. Thank you for what you will do. Amen.
