Baton Rouge - State Capitol

Baton Rouge – State Capitol Grounds

Baton Rouge, the capital of Louisiana, sits along the Mississippi River and carries a long history tied to government, leadership, and influence in the state. The current State Capitol building, completed in 1932, stands as the tallest capitol in the United States—a visible symbol of authority and decision-making. This is a place where laws are formed and direction is set for the entire state. As we pray here, our focus is on leadership—asking God for wisdom, integrity, and hearts that seek Him above all else.

Thursday, May 7, 2026… we traveled from Donner, Louisiana to pray over the State Capitol building in Baton Rouge.

PRAYER FOCUS: PRAYER AND HUMILITY

SCRIPTURE: 2 CHRONICLES 7:13-16

^“13If I shut up heaven that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, ¹⁴when My people, over whom My Name is called, humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their evil ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. ¹⁵Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place. ¹⁶For now I have chosen and consecrated this House so that My Name may be there forever. My eyes and My heart shall be there perpetually.“

New Iberia

New Iberia is rich with culture and history, known for its deep Cajun and Creole roots. Founded in the late 1700s by Spanish settlers, it carries a unique blend of traditions, faith expressions, and community life. It’s also home to some of the most beautiful bayou landscapes in Louisiana. This is a place where heritage runs deep, and where we will be praying for spiritual renewal—asking God to stir hearts, restore faith, and bring fresh life into churches and communities.

Friday, May 8, 2026… We traveled to New Iberia to pray over our Southern Location Gateway. We prayed in the old downtown area along the river at “Felicite’s Landing”. There is also a Veteran’s Memorial in that location honoring those from New Iberia who lost their lives in service to our country. The have a replica o the Liberty Bell in the Memorial.

PRAYER FOCUS: RENOUNCING IDOLATRY

SCRIPTURE: ZECHARIAH 13:2

^“2It will happen in that day”—it is a declaration of Adonai-Tzva’ot—“that I will erase the names of the idols from the land and they will no longer be remembered. Furthermore, I will remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the land.“

Leesville

Leesville is a smaller, close-knit community in western Louisiana, deeply connected to nearby Fort Johnson (formerly Fort Polk), one of the largest military training bases in the country. It’s a place where many families serve, sacrifice, and live with a strong sense of duty. The town has roots going back to the late 1800s and reflects the resilience of rural Louisiana. Our prayers here will center on families, strength, protection, and the spiritual well-being of those who serve and support our nation.

On Monday, May 11th, we traveled to pray over Leesville. We had originally planned to pray here before New Ibera, but due to circumstances, we had to swap locations. This was the Western Gate of Louisiana.

PRAYER FOCUS: DESTRUCTION OF IDOLATRY

SCRIPTURE: MICAH 5:12-13

^“12I will cut off your carved images and your sacred pillars from among you, so you will no longer bow down to the work of your hands.
¹³I will uproot your Asherah poles from among you, and destroy your cities.”

Covington

Located north of Lake Pontchartrain, Covington has grown from a quiet river town into a thriving community while still holding onto its historic charm. Founded in 1813, it has long been a place of connection—between people, culture, and commerce. Today, it continues to grow rapidly, bringing both opportunity and challenges. Our prayers here will focus on growth with purpose—that as the city expands, God would establish strong foundations of faith, truth, and community.

On May 13th we drove to Covington to pray over the Eastern Gate. We prayed over the Bogue Falaya River. As we returned to Donner, GPS took us close to New Orleans and over the Manchac Swamp with a 23 mile bridge. We prayed as we drove over the swamp.

PRAYER FOCUS: RESTORATION AND INHERITANCE

SCRIPTURE: ISAIAH 61:7
“Instead of your shame, double portion, instead of disgrace they will sing for joy. Therefore in their land they will inherit a double portion;
they will have everlasting joy.”

Ruston

Ruston is known as a college town, home to Louisiana Tech University, and has a strong influence on the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and professionals. Founded in the 1880s, it has always been a place of learning, development, and forward movement. Because of its university presence, Ruston represents a key place of influence over young minds and future direction. We’ll be praying for students, educators, and future leaders—that truth would take root and that faith would rise boldly in the next generation.

On May 16th, we prayed over our final location in Louisiana, Ruston, the Northern Gate. After we prayed at the Lincoln Parrish Courthouse, we had lunch and traveled to Marshall, Texas for the night and on to Tulsa the next morning. MISSION COMPLETE

PRAYER FOCUS: UNITY AND PURITY OF SPEECH

SCRIPTURE: ZEPHANIAH 3:9
“For then I will restore to the people pure speech, so that all of them may call upon the Name of Adonai and serve Him shoulder to shoulder.”
