We mourn over the shooting death of this little angel, Sunni, We pray for the family and those that killed her, as bullets were shot at the car she was riding in. We pray that the killers will be brought to justice. New Mexico is near the top in our nation in violent crime. We pray for our land to be healed, let us seek the face of our Lord and ask for forgiveness of our sins, let us pray for His healing rains over New Mexico, we ask all this in the name of Jesus, AMEN!
We at FGGAM are in constant prayer over all this…….We stand in the gap for God on the sanctity of life. Stand with us please.
Billy Graham once said, “If people paid more attention to death, eternity,and judgement, there would be more holy living on earth.”
We must be the light of Jesus Christ and defeat the darkness in our land.
