While the final presidential debate between President Bush and John Kerry focused on domestic issues Wednesday night, intercessory teams "encircled" the site of the debate with prayer. Cheryl Sacks, the U.S. Strategic Prayer Network's (USSPN) apostolic coordinator for Arizona, mobilized onsite prayer for the debate at Arizona State University in Tempe, as well as the national elections on Nov. 2. Twelve teams prayed and declared specific Scriptures over the debate. Meanwhile, the Presidential Prayer Team (PPT) is encouraging Christians to register for its latest Virtual Prayer Rally (www.presidentialprayerteam.org/praythevote) on Nov. 1. The grass-roots effort urges believers to select specific times to pray for the November elections on that day. According to PPT's Web site, there are 35,151 people praying in the prayer rallies. Elsewhere, the National Day of Prayer Task Force (NDPTF, www.nationaldayofprayer.org) is asking for Christians and churches to set aside Oct. 31 as "Pray for Election Day!" "America is a nation that is 'of the people, by the people, for the people' and this representative democracy needs to hear from God's people," the NDPTF said
