 An International Day of Prayer for the Railroad Industry

 History:  At the beginning of World War II, the Railroad Evangelist Association called for a National Day of Prayer for railway workers and their families.  After a letter had been sent out to the Presidents of railroad companies across the United States, Canada and Mexico and every major newspaper in the United States, Church denomination headquarter, Governors and members of Congress along with many other railroad related companies the date was set for Sunday March 22, 1942. *   

Initiative: After reading the above call to prayer along with the increase of terrorist attacks and those that are being planned to kill, destroy and wreck havoc in the lives of people, my spirit was stirred to invite all those of a willing heart to unite in specific prayer and intercession for the entire Railroad industry.

 Millions of people world wide are employed by the Railroad industry and multiplied millions of people (just like you and me) are dependent upon these services, some each day.

 Therefore: Specific, united weekly prayer and intercession be made to God each Thursday morning (from whatever time zone you are in) between 7:00 – 8:00 AM. 

 The reason for the time and day is a memorial to all those who lost their lives and suffered injuries in the Madrid, Spain terrorist attach that exploded bombs throughout the commuter railway system on Thursday morning, March 11, 2004; approximately between the hours of 7:00 and 8:00 AM.

 A Prayer Directive:

1. When to pray:
Anytime you can between 7:00 and 8:00 AM each Thursday morning from your time zone.

 2. What to pray:
Pray for those Railroad areas that are closest to you heart.

 3. How to pray:

A. For God’s Devine protection over the entire Railroad industry.

B. For God to reveal and stop all acts of planned terrorist attacks.

C. For salvation through Jesus Christ for all those who are planning to carry out acts of terror within the Railroad industry.

D. How ever God should lead you.
