Jun 27, 2023 – Notes A Call to the Wall
06-27-23 “A Call to the Wall…to Pray for our President” 8-10 PM ET Tuesdays
24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call 712-770-4340 code: 543555 #
As we open this corporate call tonight, Maureen arrived safely into Orlando this afternoon, and Ps Ioan, driving with Debbie + Daniel (TX), is headed for the shelter and security provided so lovingly at Sam + Teddi’s “safe house” in TN. The other members of the on-site team have returned home, and only Sally (WY) remains in transit by bus back to WY. We thank God for traveling mercies given each one, and for rest and restoration before our next assignment!
Troy (CA) led us in receiving the full armor of God, according to Ephesians 6:10-18.
“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.”
We prayed corporately and received God’s armor and asked that we wear it with the dignity it deserves!

Well, not surprisingly, after such victories as we experienced, the 24/7 NSPC has come under attack! We prayed for our 24/7 family’s protection and for all those in our personal extended families…our generations. We also lifted up Joan, who has arrived safely to AZ, and Sally as she travels.
-Danielle (SC) prayed for our protection
-Debbie (TX) prayed and covered us all, and spoke peace to those who were with us, not of the 24.7 family (previously)…but are now!
-Sherrill (CO) asked if Sally had a place to stay tonight as she travels. YES! She will be at Roxie’s home overnight!
Here is an account of what took place as Pastor Ioan, Maureen, Debbie and Daniel prepared to depart for New England yesterday morning. Please read the following and pray!
As we were in transit to our individual homes on Monday, we were contacted and asked to “comment” on (false) information that had been obtained by a local PA reporter. We ask all the members of our 24/7 family to decline to comment, in the event that any of you should happen to be contacted. Ps Ioan and Maureen are dealing with it from our 24/7 ministry’s standpoint, and no one else is to respond to this attack…except through prayer! Thank you for that!
President Trump isn’t the only one being maligned by the press. The 24/7 came under vicious attack in an article by one Max Marin, who writes for the Philadelphia Inquirer. His “news” story is filled with a “mixture” of elements of truth and left-wing lies…an example of the way the truth can be twisted by those who agree with / or are trapped in darkness, and subsequently attack the righteous. Pastor Ioan gave his account of the phone conversation they had, and then we prayed for him and all who are so negative and persecuting the servants of the Most High God.
Here is the text of the article published on June 27, 2023.
“A Quaker retreat center in Delco was rattled by a far-right Christian group’s stay. Pendle Hill said it regrets hosting the far-right group, whose vocally anti-LGBTQ message about “spiritual warfare” did not align with its Quaker mission.
Pendle Hill is a 93-year-old retreat center in Delaware County that offers a low-cost, leafy getaway for spiritual pilgrims who align with its famous Quaker mission to be “inclusive, respectful, and supportive of all people.”
Last week, staffers found themselves hosting a group of evangelical Christians that pushed their limits. On the surface, the 30-person group with the “24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call” came and went without incident. But Pendle Hill executive director Francisco Burgos, who was on a mission trip in Brazil at the time, (he was not even there) began hearing concerns from staffers who’d grown nervous shortly after the group arrived last week.
The main source of concern was the group’s far-right political leanings that it posted on social media each day — daily “prayer focuses” that railed against homosexuality, falsely claimed Donald Trump was the rightful U.S. president, and advocated for Christian nationalism in American politics.
Burgos disavowed the group’s beliefs and expressed regret for hosting them due to the pressure it put on his staff. “We seek to create an environment of inclusion and belonging that is safe, respectful, and restorative, and we recognize this group’s presence has ruptured that environment for our staff and other guests on campus,” Burgos said.
Ioan Peia, a pastor who is one of the group’s leaders, said interactions with the staff were amicable, and he was shocked to hear that they were agitated. “It was a beautiful place with wonderful people,” he said. “We did not talk politics at all with people there at the center.”
The underlying tensions at Pendle Hill perhaps speak to a political climate in which politics have become entangled in the religious sphere, even as widespread division exists among denominations. Christian nationalism has become an animating force for right-wing politicians, who embrace a message of “spiritual warfare” over issues like LGBTQ rights and abortion access. “As an openly queer staff member with an understanding of the anti-LBGTQ rhetoric that fuels the far right Christian movement, it’s nearly impossible to feel safe serving those who have done harm to people like me,” said Alison Krieger, who has worked at Pendle Hill since last year.
Even if the group didn’t openly discuss its political leanings in Delaware County, there were signposts.
Burgos said members of the group staying on the bucolic Wallingford campus often blew shofars — a Jewish ritual instrument that has been adopted by evangelical Christians who envision themselves locked in a Biblical battle to save the soul of America. The horns were also used by insurrectionists during Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Group members also flew the yellow, rattlesnake-emblazoned Gadsden flag whose “don’t tread on me” message was made famous by the Tea Party, according to Krieger. (Burgos said the group was asked to keep political signage out of public spaces at the retreat center and the group complied.)
The 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call hosts an around-the-clock prayer hotline, and undertakes mission trips as part of what it describes as a “battle to save America” and return the “supremacy of Christ” into the public sphere.
Peia declined to elaborate on the group’s beliefs to The Inquirer, but they are clear in the group’s daily prayers posts online.
The posts routinely promoted false claims that Trump is still the President along with prayers for his restoration to “his rightful office.” A recent post referred to group members as “MAGAdonians” — a pet name Trump coined for his followers on social media. Another recent prayer focus revolved around why the Department of Justice’s indictment against Trump was “seriously flawed.”
Peia is listed as an author on the posts along with co-leader Maureen Bravo, who declined to comment. According to her LinkedIn bio, Bravo is affiliated with a prayer network with Liberty Counsel, a group that the Southern Poverty Law Center designated as extremist and says advocates “for anti-LGBT discrimination under the guise of religious liberty.”
During their stay, the group traveled to Harrisburg and met with state Rep. David Zimmerman (R., Earl) in the Capitol building, according to the group’s daily prayer posts. Abby Abildness, an “apostle” with the New Apostolic Reformation movement, a fundamentalist political network of pastors, was part of the Pendle Hill group, and was seen in a photo with Zimmerman posted by a LancasterOnline reporter. Abildness did not return a call for comment.

In Philadelphia, the group visited Penn Treaty Park on the anniversary of the 1683 treaty between the Lenni-Lenape Indians and William Penn — whose affinity they share with the Quakers. “Through William Penn, a different, godly doctrine emerged … one that taught us to deal with indigenous people honorably,” the 24/7 group wrote on its website, after its Penn Treaty visit.
That affinity did not override the distress caused by the group’s other views. Burgos said Pendle Hill will vet groups more seriously before booking with them in the future. “We don’t have a stringent vetting process for guests — we take people at their word, on faith — but sadly, that may need to change, based on this latest experience,” Burgos said.
Peia was taken aback by Burgos’ comments after what he described as a pleasant retreat. “We integrated and we worshiped together,” Peia said. “We are the land of the free here, we have the right to speak what you believe … but we did not talk politics with those on site.”
On Saturday, the group traveled to Manhattan to serve a “notice of eviction” to Mammon, a biblical term for wealth, and checked out of Pendle Hill on Sunday, according to the group’s itinerary.”
We prayed corporately, asking that the Lord will turn for good that which was intended for evil. We saw that Joan (AZ) had joined the call from Donald Kruse’s family gathering, where she was an honored guest. She offered her individual reflections on the time in PA and NY, and prayed for the LGBTQ woman who had been so incensed by our presence and actually mocked and cursed us as we went out on assignment to pray each day!… (Actually, she was incensed by God’s Presence that accompanied us!)
We then offered individual prayers about the situation we faced and in response to the article!
-Mary Ellen (IL) My first thought was that your presence rattled a cage and shook the witched there. She shared Daniel 10:17-20 about the angel appearing to him and strengthening him!
-Diane (MT) prayed for President Trump to see this article and know how we are aligned with and supporting him
~~~
We paused just before 9 PM, to pray for the J6 prisoners,
seeking DIVINE INTERVENTION to correct the GROSS INJUSTICE being done to them!
We will continue to stand strong, courageously and boldly, on behalf of this nation!
We ask that those, who have been harmed, be recompensed for all that they have suffered!
At 9 PM, we joined them in singing the National Anthem.
Having prayed on-site for them in DC, we continue to stand with them and their families,
praying that they would be set free, return to their lives and loved ones,
and be compensated for the injustice they have suffered!
~~~
We then continued with individual prayers about the situation we faced and in response to the article!
-Mary Ellen (IL) said we need to focus on the positive
-Debbie (TX) said she heard “shake shake shake, shake the evil!” and asked that we be steadfast in upholding the truth.
-Barb (WI) Joseph told his brothers what they meant for evil, God turned for good…and so too with this article…that those who read this article will join us in prayer for our true President and the nation!
-Carol (NY) prayed for the woman who was so ensnared by darkness, who spoke evil about us and even to us, as we departed for our prayer journeys each day. Protect the call and the line, and let it be successful in sharing the truth with all those who are deceived,
-Barb (WI) over the same time period worship leader Sean Feucht was in WA state and had his guitar stolen, but then it was returned threefold!
-John (NJ) prayed for PA Representative David Zimmerman (R) and that no weapon formed against him will prosper, as he shows such love and walks out his faith. Keep him under the shelter of Your wings, Lord and shield him from the enemy.
-Carol (NY) lifted up Abby and her husband Jim, who are standing in faith for their state of PA and praying for the legislators to make good and Godly laws. Turn around all that is unjust in the PA Capitol and let her continue to do those “spiritual tours” sharing the Christian heritage.
-Suzanne (ME) prayed for John Norwood, the Lenape representative we met with to affirm the Penn treaty! What a blessing this man is, a Christian pastor who loves Jesus and His people.
-Carol (NY) asked that John would share the gifts that were given to him by our group…and that the love we shared will span the nation and bring healing between the Anglos and Indians.
-Lucy (DE) prayed for the present-day Quaker people, and how far afield we found them from the tenants of Wm Penn. May there be an awakening within that group so they quake in fear of how they have departed, and seek the truth and know the plumbline You have established, and no other. Break off all that is not of You in this once noble faith, and restore them again! What is really the fear at Pendle Hill is not the same as Penn’s Quaker faith…bring them back and let them repent so they can be restored to You and be saved! Let us all walk humbly with our God…and recognize that they need to return.
We then shared how we completed the preparation for our assignment, as on Friday, June 23rd, we met with the Lenape Indians after which we Welcomed the King of Glory into PA at 3 PM.
Then on Saturday, June 24th, we traveled to Manhattan, NY, with a group of 9 adults and 11 seniors…”9-11.” We traveled to the Empire State Building where we publicly declared the Covenant and Welcomed the King of Glory into Manhattan, and following that, we went to Wall Street, and stood in front of the NY Stock Exchange, where we served the Notice of Eviction to the demonic entity “Mammon”, which has held sway over our nation for years!
We then stopped by the Lucis Trust to pray and we went next door to the restaurant in the building and had a good meal in the presence of our enemies (Psalm 23).
As we exited the dinner site, Robert lifted his harp to catch the breeze, and it “sang” for us. Donald offered a Samoan-style shout of VICTORY, at which time, the spirit of Mammon was replaced by the angel of America, as recounted by David Clements when he saw that angel who declared that “WE WILL WIN!”. PTL!
As we came to the end of this call, the three in the car were about 12 minutes from the Dial residence, where they will be safe and secure overnight! We prayed in gratitude for such a good God, making a way where there was no way!
-Annette (NY) Thanked and praised God for His goodness
-Bernadette (NY) prayed a blessing on each one serving God and against any weapon formed against the 24/8 and Maureen and Pastor Ioan. Thank You for the anointing on each of their lives and for the honor of being Your Ambassadors on the earth!
-Debbie (TX) prayed in gratitude that we have come out of the world system of mammon…and all that is not of God.
-Susan (GA) thanked God for the victories we have had and looks forward to what is coming in the days and weeks ahead.
We then prayed corporately for the one, true President of the United States, Donald John Trump. There are people all over the USA who know the truth and are standing with the President through it all! He is a fighter and will not give up…and neither will we! We prayed for supernatural protection for him…body, soul, and spirit! We also prayed for his wife, Melania, and children and grandchildren. We lifted up all those who are rightly aligned with him for this nation’s purpose and destiny!
We shared in communion together and asked Sam (TN), who was out waiting for them on his front porch, to lead us in communion. We shared in sweet communion and bid one another farewell for the evening.
Blessings and great grace to us all as we continue to move in love, friendship,
asking for God’s grace to heal our land! Let healing flow throughout this land!
Maureen and Pastor Ioan
