Pompeo: We will do more than talk about religious persecution
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has called for a first-ever Ministerial to Advance Religious Freedom and one planned attendee predicts it's about more than just talk.
The three-day State Department event, set for next week on July 25 and 26, is expected to bring together government officials, religious leaders, and many more to discuss religious persecution around the globe.
In an interview on "Washington Watch with Tony Perkins," a weekday show on American Family Radio, Pompeo said he predicts more than just talking when leaders and activists assemble.
"We do believe that just putting people together from all across the world in a room, and talking about this topic," said Pompeo, "will empower them to go back to their home country and advocate for religious freedom as well."
Some of those attendees live in countries where there is no religious freedom, Pompeo went on to say, so being able to meet with others who are aware of those difficulties helps create a "support system" for them when they return home.
Vice President Mike Pence will be speaking at the Ministerial as well as Sam Brownback, U.S. ambassador-at-large for international religious freedom. (OneNewsNow) Read more here.
- Father, we do lift up this amazing Ministerial before Your Throne of Grace, asking only that Your Kingdom purposes be fulfilled during this week in Washington, D.C. We ask journeying mercies for all who are coming here, and divine appointments throughout this week, in Your Name, amen.
- "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven." (Matthew 6:10)
Special prayer request:
Those of us who are "boots on the ground" in Washington, D.C. will be welcoming hundreds of intercessors from across the nation and around the world to our city this week -- all who are coming in order to undergird this ministerial in prayer. Please join us in praying that all that God desires to be accomplished in this "convening of prayer warriors" shall, indeed, be achieved. Thank you!
- "The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way." (Psalm 37:23)

Trump, Putin and Middle East Peace

Trump and Putin are headed to Res 242 to untie the Gordian Knot
One Positive Outcome of the Talks in Helsinki!
Defusing the Syria-Israel conflict and resurrecting the primacy of Security Council Resolution 242 in resolving the Arab-Jewish conflict have emerged as positive outcomes from the Trump-Putin summit in Helsinki this week.
President Putin expressed America and Russia's joint resolve with this succinct statement:
"The south of Syria should be brought to the full compliance with the treaty of 1974 about the separation of forces, about separation of forces of Israel and Syria. This will bring peace to Golan Heights. And bring more peaceful relationship between Syria and Israel and also to provide security of the state of Israel. Mr. President paid special attention to the issue during today's negotiations. I would like to confirm that Russia is interested in this development and this will act accordingly. Thus far, we will make a step toward creating a lasting peace in compliance with the respective resolutions of security council, for instance the resolution 338." (Later: Resolution 242)

Legislative Program for next week
The House will consider several bills aimed at giving Americans more affordable healthcare choices:
First, the Protect Medical Innovation Act, sponsored by Representative Erik Paulsen. This bill would permanently repeal ObamaCare's burdensome medical device tax. Doing so will create jobs, promote research, and allow for innovation that could lead to the next generation of lifesaving medical technologies;
Next, the Increasing Access to Lower Premium Plans and Expanding Health Savings Accounts Act, sponsored by Representative Peter Roskam. This package would expand access to lower cost healthcare options, encourage healthcare savings, and put a 2-year delay on ObamaCare's health insurance tax, which drives up costs of insurance for almost every American;
Finally, the Restoring Access to Medication and Modernizing Health Savings Accounts Act, sponsored by Representative Lynn Jenkins. This bill would transform and modernize health savings accounts and allow for more innovation in healthcare delivery.

Prayers and Presidents:
Our 24th President: William McKinley
(1897-1901)
[Each week, we will publish one prayer that was spoken by each of our presidents, in chronological order. Today's prayer was written by our 24th president, William McKinley.]
PLEASE NOTE:
On September 6, 1901, William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States, was shot on the grounds of the Pan-American Exposition at the Temple of Music in Buffalo, New York. He was shaking hands with the public when Leon Czolgosz, an anarchist, shot him twice in the abdomen. McKinley died eight days later on September 14 of gangrene caused by the gunshot wounds. He was the third American president to have been assassinated, following Abraham Lincoln in 1865 and James A. Garfield in 1881.
The following notes are taken from an article posted on PreachingToday.com. To read more about the life, the Christian faith, and the and death of President William McKinely, go here.
President McKinley Was Guided by Prayer in Life and Death
. . . as President William McKinley lay dying from an assassin's bullet in Buffalo, New York, in 1901, the Lord's Prayer was on his lips. Prayer had been a lifelong practice that guided McKinley through his political career and into the presidency. McKinley had been born into a devout Christian home fifty-eight years before, and born again at age fourteen. According to his pastor, A. D. Morton, young McKinley stood up during a youth meeting and said, "I have sinned; I want to be a Christian . . . I give myself to the Savior who has done so much for me."
McKinley's mother, a woman of deep prayer, taught him to pray by example and encouragement, but his greatest lessons in prayer were forged under the pressures of his duties as President of the United States. One of his heaviest decisions arose in 1898 regarding the status of the Philippines after the Spanish-American War. One day, a delegation of church leaders came to the White House, and McKinley told them how he had decided to resolve the crisis in the Philippines.
"The truth is, I didn't want the Philippines," he said. "I did not know what to do. I sought counsel from all sides-Democrats as well as Republicans-but got little help. . . I walked the floor of the White House night after night until midnight, and I am not ashamed to tell you, gentlemen, that I went down on my knees and prayed Almighty God for light and guidance more than one night. And one night late it came to me this way."
McKinley relayed the strategy that developed in his mind as he prayed: that the Philippines should be taken seriously and helped, that the United States should "by God's grace do the very best we could by them as our fellow-men for whom Christ died." McKinley added, "And then I went to bed, and went to sleep and slept soundly."
