Note that some of these leaders have served previously in the legislature and are returning to elected office. Others have moved from the House of Delegates to the State Senate. Please pray for these leaders as they prepare to serve in their new positions.

You can visit this West Virginia Legislature web site and enter your zip code to find out the names of the leaders serving your district. If any of these new leaders serve in your area please consider writing them a letter thanking them for their service and letting them know you will be praying for them.

Our revised West Virginia Leaders Prayer Guide is now available online. I also encourage you to visit our West Virginia Leaders Prayer Blog at www.prayercolumn.blogspot.com. There you can subscribe to a daily email list of leaders for whom you can pray.

Please make it a priority this year to pray for kings and all that are in authority (1 Timothy 2:1-2).
