2 Million without Power CALL upon God’s POWER!

Pray for the Lord to protect priceless lives and property as Florida and other states are bracing for CAT 4+ Hurricane, with potential max winds of 145 mph teetering on a CAT 5. While landfall is expected later today as a major hurricane we pray that people will be safe, make wise choices, and the storm would be degraded as tornadoes and evacuation orders have been given in counties where just 24 hours they were not heeding nor responding to evacuation orders. It is expected the storm surges will be about ten feet inland. As of 7:00 PM EST I Million were experiencing power outages and millions more may be without power within the next 24 hours. 

CEN National Team Situational Reports: 

• CEN Founder, President, and Incident Commander Mary Marr reports: 

“CEN is monitoring Hurricane 2022 with our key partners in law enforcement and emergency management. We will keep you apprised of ongoing needs and developments. Again, if you would like to be considered a volunteer please ContactUS with your availability, expertise, and capacity. Sherry Buresh will contact you about the Volunteer Reception details. Keep in mind that most Florida residents have not experienced anything like this in FLA since 2004 and it may be unprecedented following Hurricane Andrew. If they have not already become a ReadyChristian those affected need your support spiritually, emotionally, mentally as well as physically. Christians should be encouraged to keep in regular communication with loved ones and have their own emergency response plans in place both to shelter and support as this may be a very long and difficult response. This is another of God’s gracious wake up calls and the opportunity for us to give an answer for the Hope of Christ within us!” I Peter 3:15

• CEN Logistics Officer Sherry Buresh reports she is collaborating with FEMA and other partners as to immediate deployment for assessment and response. Damage has already been experienced along the FLA western coast and there will be a cascading damage effect with staging areas being set up. If you would like to volunteer please ContactUS. Please do not contact Sherry directly as her communications in the field are limited. 

• CEN Public Information Officer John Phelps reports the communications are challenging as being reported by our CEN ReadyFL team. If you are a CEN radio interview provider please contact john.phelps@christianemergencynetwork.net with your preferred times to set up an interview with CEN Founder and President Mary Marr.

• CEN Prayer Officer Lisa Crump reports Hurricane Ian is a massive surging hurricane with ability to deposit heavy rains and category three winds.  This is an urgent and intense threat to Americans in Florida, especially the southern and eastern parts.  Other peoples and lands have been greatly affected such as Cuba and Puerto Rico, a territory of the United States. Mandatory evacuations are in place.  Ten foot tidal waves are anticipated with great effect on power systems. Will you and your prayer teams join me in prayer? lisa.crump@christianemergencynetwork.net 

"Why, when I came there was no man; why, when I called, was there no one to answer? Is my hand shortened, that it cannot be redeemed? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, by my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a desert; their fish stink for lack of water and die of thirst. Isaiah 50:2

Please continue to pray for:

• Governor DeSantos, local first responders and government to assist in every way helpful. 

• First responders, especially Christian first responders as they bring the Gospel to those affected across our nation. 

• Florida's citizens personally, with your family and groups.  

• Contacts in Florida to text that you are praying for them now. 

• ReadyChristians to be prepared to help in time of need bringing His Hope to the hopeless. I Peter 3:15

LET US PRAY!

Lord our God Almighty, we praise You for You are the source of our help.  You are our creator and of the earth where You have placed us to live.  With this major hurricane threat, we ask You now for safety as millions evacuate, seek supplies and fuel, driving in heavy traffic and those with medical needs. Father I pray for fear to be replaced with the elderly and the young and the mid generations looking to You for the source of help, protection, provision, wisdom as they adhere to emergency measures given for their communities. God, we ask Your help for the church to arise to give aid through all means available, physical and spiritual.  We decree that You are more than able to do exceedingly more than we can ask or even imagine according to Your power at work within Your people.  Jesus in Your Name above all we ask for this help with hope at the throne of God.

Be READY to give an Answer for the Hope within! I Peter 3:15
