Note to our partners: Every day this week, we will publish the president's public itinerary during his trip to Europe to attend the G8 Summit, and for other purposes.
This information will be posted "one day ahead" of the events, allowing you time to pray over each item in advance of the president's different meetings. The times given are in Europe; which is six hours ahead of us in Washington, D.C.
Please cover President and Mrs. Bush on their entire journey in prayer. Ask for safety in travel; protection on the ground; and favor with each head of state scheduled to meet with the President. Ask for clear lines of communication for each head of state involved in this Summit. May God's will be done throughout this gathering.
· "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven."
