A chaplain with a U.S. Army unit in Iraq is asking Christians to pray for the historic election on Sunday and for the troops taking ballots and voting machines who will be "prime targets for the insurgents."Our prayers are always with the men and women of our military getting it done in Iraq. Are you praying for a successful and peaceful election?
In an e-mail obtained by Talon News, CH (CPT) Lyle Shackelford, Battalion Chaplain, HHD, 57th Transportation Battalion wrote on Monday that he has "an urgent request for prayer."
"Your prayers can make a difference," Shackelford wrote in the e-mail sent to friends and family members of the Dublin, OH native. "I am an Army Baptist Chaplain in Iraq. I'm sure you will be moved by this request even if you do not personally know anyone involved. Thank you in advance for your faithful prayers in this matter."
