...another day, they will pray that "Gary will be protected from the fiery darts of opponents, the media and opposition groups. Pray the financial, volunteer, exposure, credibility blocks in the campaign will be removed." To that end, another entreaty, for Aug. 19, titled "Campaign Funding," hopes that "Gary will value prayer over the presidency as the key to the presidency and the Father as the key to funding...
