The aunt of Shoshana Johnson, a female P.O.W., appeared on Fox and Friends this morning. When asked what the American public could do to help the family, she didn't ask for money or letters of protest. She asked for prayer. She asked that people across the country pray for her and the other P.O.W.s at noon eastern.

Shoshana has a sister who is a captain in the army and another sister persuing a masters degree. She also has a 2 year old daughter.

God Bless all of them and their families, especially her two year old.

So you want prayer? I wonder how big the in-coming box is in heaven? :-)

For what it's worth I (and I'm sure many many many others) have been doing this from the time we first heard.

The aunt who appeared on Fox is a 20-year AF veteran. She said she has "complete faith" in the military and the government to do all they can to secure the prisoners release. A brave and dignified woman, and a credit to our military and our country.

Prayers for our POW's.

I have as well.

At noon eastern, let's jam heaven's switchboard.

[Teacup]

Thanks for the ping. OMG! My heart goes out to all these poor families and friends of our missing and dead.

May Our Lord Our God, surround them with love and peace.

Lord we ask that you send an army of Angels to suround our POW's and all our men and women in the military. Keep them free from harm. In Jesus's name we pray-Amen.

[Aggie Mama]

Prayer BTTT

Welcome, friend.
