National Day of Prayer Workshops Feb. - Mar.

The California State Coordinator, Doris Force, a retired school teacher, is going an excellent work in training event coordinators. I have also accompanied her and taught a couple of workshops in the Sacramento and Bay Area.

CFFi assists SRI

Daniel Henderson, former Sacramento Pastor, and Founder of Strategic Renewal International, this week conducted an SRI NorCal Prayer Summit in West Sacramento, at the Ramada Inn Convention Center. Daniel, along with a NorCal facilitators team lead the 130 participants in a 3 day "Pray Summit", that has revolutionized the worship-prayer life of thousands of praying men and women across America.

This ministry of worship-based corporate prayer has been a life-saver to thousands of pastors and congregations who have struggle with the "prayer culture" or lack of it in their churches. "This is the place where I learned to discern and experience the working presence of God will my life", say scores of attendees! CFFi, CEO and President, Joe Walsh and CFFi Board Member were a couple of the NorCal Prayer Summit facilitation team. "I am always renewed and refocused from attending and participating in a SRI worship-based prayer summer," they said.

California Capitol Intercessors (CCI)

The California Capitol Intercessors are a group of men women, young and more seasoned, who travel from throughout California, and who have been train to daily pray at our State Capitol on the date of the month that they have selected to pray God's blessing upon our whole state Legislature and our Governor and Lt. Governor.

The ladies to the left are part of a much larger team who daily pray at the Capitol, two by two, on their selected day. Prayer is being made DAILY on behalf of ALL of legislators and their family, as well as the Executive Branch. Thank you for your service of reading God's Word and and Prayer at the Capitol.

UPDATE: New Year Starts with a BANG!

Auto News: Jan. 6, 2012: Literally: Friday, January 6th, found Joe Walsh driving from Sacramento to Bakersfield down Highway 99 when he had a car accident! Walsh turned off onto Exit 145 in Madera, California. "It was a straight exit turn off," he said. But when he went to slow down the 2008 Toyota Prius, Hatchback, it would not slow down. He claims he jammed on the brakes several times in the Exit, but the vehicle would not stop.

As his car approach the "T" intersection, with cars at the 3 stop signs, "they must have seen me coming," he said. "The intersection stayed clear as he entered it, with a Tractor Dealership in front of him. With a desperate cry to God for help, Walsh says at the last second he pulled the steering wheel to the left with the car sliding ways into the intersection, the right front wheel slammed into the high curb with a shocking jolt and loud sounding crash! But the car continue to roll toward a four-way intersection a short distance from impacting the curb. Walsh says, he continued pressing hard on the brakes, but the car still would not stop as the car continues toward the Stop Light intersection with cross traffic. In order to avoid a collision with cars in the intersection, Walsh says he pulled the steering wheel hard again, only this time to the right and hugged the curb as it rolled around the curb a few feet and the front of the car collapsed.

A young man ran over to his car and banged on his passenger door yelling if he was alright. Walsh responded he thought so. The young man, about 18, urged him to get out of the car because the right front of the car was smoking and he was concerned for a fire to start. Slowing Walsh apparently open his driver door and in shock walked toward the front of the car to view it. "It was a mess", was Walsh's response, fluid and smoke.

Someone must has called 911 because within a couple of minutes a Madera Police car with two officers arrived at the scene. They asked Walsh how he was doing as they accessed the scene and directed traffic around the 2008 Toyota Prius. A triple A truck was called and hauled the vehicle back to Sacramento.

Key thoughts: I am very thankful to God to be alive! When I stop and think or visualize those last 200 or more feet toward that "T" Intersection, and my desperate prayer to God for "Help"! All I can say is, He must have pulled on that steering wheel! And gratefully, I am here to tell the story. Now is the struggle with my USAA insurance company, Toyota Corp, and Maita Toyota of Sacramento as to who or what is to blame for the accident, Just two days and 170 miles earlier the car was in for 30k maintenance at Maita. As of this posting the case is still NOT resolved. Let's pray for a speedy and equitable solution and replacement for that car.

UPDATE:  On March 30th, 2012, God resolved the issue for us surrounding the accident with my 2008 Toyota, Prius, by enabling us to trade the car in for another vehicle.  A 2012, new Honda Accord!   I am very grateful for those involved who helped us negotiate it's  purchase .  I am also grateful to our USAA insurance company of 28 years for their help in resolving the very expensive repairs on the Prius.  Thank you, so very much!  Our whole family highly recommends USAA!

Fall in Sacramento, CA
Joe Walsh, Founder, President, CEO, Capitol Fellowship Foundation, Inc., Sacramento, California.

On November 28, I had to have eye surgery on my right eye. The lens was replaced and it is remarkable how I can now see like when I was a teenager. And then a good friend reminded, "now don't act like one!" I gotta remember that! Kidding aside though: I see great and I praise God for this new opportunity to see more clearly that I ever have in years. At the beginning of January I may be going in for the left eye. I praise God either way!
