Preparing to CRY OUT for our Nation at TheCRY Vancouver… August 15th
I received a promotions package for TheCRY Vancouver last week. Since then, the desire has been steadily increasing and growing in my Spirit to see the people of British Columbia and especially those of us here on the West Coast and Vancouver Island take a STAND for Righteousness in the Name of Jesus!
So yesterday I opened up GOD.TV on my computer and selected the On Demand Section. The LORD lead me to choose TheCRY St. John’s. I have had it on all day… listening and watching, joining in their CRY, praying and battling worshipfully for this nation.
I joined with them as they prayed as ONE Nation… joining with Jesus in His prayer that we would be ONE with the Father, just and the Father and He are ONE. All the diverse cultures in Canada coming together as ONE under God!
I joined with them as they prayed for marriage in our Nation as God intended. One man and one woman… MARRIED FOR LIFE!!
I joined with them as they prayed for the deliverance of those caught in Human Trafficking here in our nation and beyond.
I joined with them as they prayed SILENTLY for those who do not have a voice…. For the babies who have had their CRY and their lives cut short through abortion. To give a voice to the voiceless.
On August 15th, we have an opportunity to STAND for OUR NATION in prayer and worship, to STAND for a GENERATION yet unborn through prayer and worship, to STAND for THE WORLD as Canada fully walks in Her GOD-GIVEN DESTINY to bring HEALING TO THE NATIONS!
Join with me as we go to Vancouver and join in TheCRY Vancouver 2009. For more information go to www.thecry.ca
Join in TheCRY
for Canada!

The Wedding Gown That Made History
I just received this story in an Email from Irene Cheese and was so touched that I wanted to share it far and wide! Enjoy… but make sure you have the Kleenex handy! God bless, Debbie <><
The Wedding Gown That Made History
Lilly Friedman doesn't remember the last name of the woman who designed and sewed the wedding gown she wore when she walked down the aisle over 60 years ago.. But the grandmother of seven does recall that when she first told her fiancé' Ludwig that she had always dreamed of being married in a white gown he realized he had his work cut out for him.
For the tall, lanky 21-year-old who had survived hunger, disease and torture this was a different kind of challenge. How was he ever going to find such a dress in the Bergen Belsen Displaced Person's camp where they felt grateful for the clothes on their backs?
For two weeks Miriam the seamstress worked under the curious eyes of her fellow DPs, carefully fashioning the six parachute panels into a simple, long sleeved gown with a rolled collar and a fitted waist that tied in the back with a bow. When the dress was completed she sewed the leftover material into a matching shirt for the groom.
A white wedding gown may have seemed like a frivolous request in the surreal environment of the camps, but for Lilly the dress symbolized the innocent, normal life she and her family had once led before the world descended into madness. Lilly and her siblings were raised in a Torah observant home in the small town of Zarica, Czechoslovakia where her father was a melamed, respected and well liked by the young yeshiva students he taught in nearby Irsheva.
He and his two sons were marked for extermination immediately upon arriving at Auschwitz . For Lilly and her sisters it was only their first stop on their long journey of persecution, which included Plashof, Neustadt, Gross Rosen and finally Bergen Belsen.
Lilly Friedman and her parachute dress ondisplay in the Bergen Belsen Museum
Four hundred people marched 15 miles in the snow to the town of Celle on January 27, 1946 to attend Lilly and Ludwig's wedding. The town synagogue, damaged and desecrated, had been lovingly renovated by the DPs with the meagre materials available to them. When a Sefer Torah arrived from England they converted an old kitchen cabinet into a makeshift Aron Kodesh.
"My sisters and I lost everything - our parents, our two brothers, our homes. The most important thing was to build a new home." Six months later, Lilly's sister Ilona wore the dress when she married Max Traeger. After that came Cousin Rosie. How many brides wore Lilly's dress? "I stopped counting after 17." With the camps experiencing the highest marriage rate in the world, Lilly's gown was in great demand.
In 1948 when President Harry Truman finally permitted the 100,000 Jews who had been languishing in DP camps since the end of the war to emigrate, the gown accompanied Lilly across the ocean to America . Unable to part with her dress, it lay at the bottom of her bedroom closet for the next 50 years, "not even good enough for a garage sale. I was happy when it found such a good home."
Home was the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington , D.C. When Lily's niece, a volunteer, told museum officials about her aunt's dress, they immediately recognized its historical significance and displayed the gown in a specially designed showcase, guaranteed to preserve it for 500 years.
But Lilly Friedman's dress had one more journey to make. Bergen Belsen, the museum, opened its doors on October 28, 2007. The German government invited Lilly and her sisters to be their guests for the grand opening. They initially declined, but finally traveled to Hanover the following year with their children, their grandchildren and extended families to view the extraordinary exhibit created for the wedding dress made from a parachute.
Lilly's family, who were all familiar with the stories about the wedding in Celle , were eager to visit the synagogue. They found the building had been completely renovated and modernized.. But when they pulled aside the handsome curtain they were astounded to find that the Aron Kodesh, made from a kitchen cabinet, had remained untouched as a testament to the profound faith of the survivors. As Lilly stood on the bimah once again she beckoned to her granddaughter, Jackie, to stand beside her where she was once a kallah. "It was an emotional trip. We cried a lot." Two weeks later, the woman who had once stood trembling before the selective eyes of the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele returned home and witnessed the marriage of her granddaughter.
The three Lax sisters - Lilly, Ilona and Eva, who together survived Auschwitz, a forced labor camp, a death march and Bergen Belsen - have remained close and today live within walking distance of each other in Brooklyn. As mere teenagers, they managed to outwit and outlive a monstrous killing machine, then went on to marry, have children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and were ultimately honoured by the country that had earmarked them for extinction.
As young brides, they had stood underneath the chuppah and recited the blessings that their ancestors had been saying for thousands of years. In doing so, they chose to honor the legacy of those who had perished by choosing life.

Praying to a Healing God!!
Please lift my girls' paternal Grandpa; Ken, up in prayer. Mike's dad ("Grandpa Santa" to the girls) is in the hospital. They had to do a blood transfusion yesterday, and it looks like his white blood cell count is extremely low. I am not sure of the exact situation, other than he has had heart and circulation problems in the past.
LORD God, You are a mighty God! You are the Great Physician and You are able to heal and use this for Your glory! Praise You LORD, that all Your plans are perfect even in these circumstances. Bring healing to Ken and use this for Your perfect purposes in his life and in the lives of all those around him. AMEN!
· But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was on Him; and with His stripes we ourselves are healed. (Isa 53:5 MKJV)
Be blessed as you pray!
Dancing in Daddy's Arms,
· Psa 91:1-16 MKJV He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall rest under the shadow of the Almighty. (2) I will say of Jehovah, my refuge and my fortress; my God; in Him I will trust. (3) Surely He will deliver you from the fowler's trap and from the destroying plague. (4) He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall trust. His truth shall be your shield, and buckler. (5) You shall not fear the terror by night; nor because of the arrow that flies by day; (6) nor for the plague that walks in darkness, of the destruction laying waste at noonday. (7) A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; it shall not come near you. (8) Only with your eyes you shall look and see the reward of the wicked. (9) Because You, O Jehovah, are My refuge; if You have made the Most High Your dwelling-place, (10) no evil shall befall You, nor shall any plague come near Your dwelling. (11) For He shall give His angels charge over You, to keep You in all Your ways. (12) They shall bear You up in their hands, lest You dash your foot against a stone. (13) You shall tread on the lion and adder; the young lion and the jackal You shall trample underfoot. (14) Because He has set His love on Me, therefore I will deliver Him; I will set Him on high, because He has known My name. (15) He shall call on Me, and I will answer Him; I will be with Him in trouble; I will deliver Him, and honor Him. (16) With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.
