Prayer Warriors
Battle Plan
August 2019
August Events and Requests
The big event this month is the Leadership Summit in Williamsburg, VA, Aug. 22-25! Pray for:
• Last-minute details and logistics, especially in negotiating with the venue in Williamsburg.
• Effectiveness for our keynote speakers: Mark Levin, Pete Hegseth, Tom Coburn, Charles
Cooper, David Barton, and Tim Dunn, as well as COS staff who are speaking and leading.
• Traveling safety for all those attending the Summit.
• Long-term impact on the grassroots and the nation.
• Financial provision to cover
the cost of the event
Leadership Prayer Focus
Last month we asked God to supply a new regional director, and he
answered with Catherine Zemanek. Until now Catherine has been
State Director for Michigan.
Pray for Catherine in her new role and for God to raise up new leader-
ship in Michigan to take her place. She requests prayer specifically
for COS volunteers who need to maintain hope for their states to pass
the resolution, and that God will show them the way to stay actively
involved with COS even if they become discouraged.
Scripture of the Month
Hear us, our God, for we are despised. Turn their insults back on their own heads.
Give them over as plunder in a land of captivity.
So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart.
— Nehemiah 4:5-6
Lord God, we are boldly asking for two more states to pass our resolution in 2019, at which point
“the wall will reach half its height”—17 states. Like Nehemiah, we have opponents, both political
and spiritual. Turn their opposition back on their owns head. Take captive anyone who would
destroy our movement or our nation. Give us a will to work with all our hearts. Promote our holy
cause and encourage us with your favor.

tem.

Prayer Goals for 2019
• Increase in the number and engagement level of grassroots leaders—specifically by the end
of summer—as follows:
•
925 active leaders across COS (currently 867)
•
525 active DCs across COS (currently 491)
•
90 active GCs across COS (currently 75)
• Two more states to pass the resolution before the end of 2019, which will bring us to a total
of 17, half-way to our goal of 34 states.
•
A distinct increase in the number of COS presentations given by volunteers across the country.
• A breakthrough in Eagle Forum's opposition to COS (this may need a longer-term prayer
focus beyond 2019).
17 Connecticut: give thanks for a successful
strategy meeting and for a new Grassroots
Coordinator that has stepped up. Pray for
success in activating the grassroots.
18 Minnesota: join SD Jackie Burns in asking
God’s comfort on COS volunteers suffering
from health issues and personal loss.
19 Pennsylvania: pray for forward motion for
the COS resolution in the legislature and
passage in 2019!

the door to a meeting with a key legislator.

witchcraft and dark spiritual forces aligned

spiritual warfare.
27 Maryland and Massachusetts: praise God for
productive strategy meetings last month,
and ask for success in working toward the
goals that were set.
28 For decades Christians have engaged cultur-
ally and politically from a defensive, fearful
posture. Pray that we will move to a offensive
position—one of faith and courage.
29 New Jersey: give thanks for several fruitful
events resulting in many new recruits. Pray
over plans for a large event in September.
30 South Dakota: pray for success in recruiting

Facebook editor, videographer, media liai-
son, and Social Media Warriors.
31
Ask God to raise up “men of Issachar” in our
movement who understand the times and
know what COS should do—1 Chron. 12:32.
