The 4th PEACEMAKERS Sound the Alarm Online Midday Call to Prayer will be on Wednesday 17th November via Google Meet at 12 noon for 30 minutes.
There has been a change in our Keynote Speaker this Month as Rev Chavarria from Jamaica had to cancel, having been recalled to duties which would not allow him join us at scheduled. We were very much looking forward to hearing from him, and wish him well in all his endeavours. Thankfully, we were able to secure a Speaker at short notice, hence the late announcement for our Prayer Call on Wednesday. I pray that you will be able to join us for our brief Prayer Meet-up, as well as inform as many as would be interested. Thank you.
The Theme for this Prayer Call is ‘How showing Kindnesss in our Communities can help to lower crime levels’ Our Esteemed Guest and Keynote Speaker is Peacemaker Prayer & City Safety Patroller Shoannalee Samuels.
Ms Samuels is Second-in-Command at PEACEMAKERS, having been
with with the Project since its inception in 2002. Her involvement and commitment to reducing street crimes and helping to building safer neighborhoods and communities is first class. In 2005 she was awarded the Bristol District Commanders Commendation in recognition of the Bristol Prayer Patrols in providing reassurance for local communities who would otherwise feel more vulnerable. PEACEMAKERS Prayer and City Patrols work in Partnership with Avon and Somerset Police and CrimeStoppers UK. 
Shoannalee have been a major player in helping to set up and motivate Prayer Patrols in other Cities across the country, such as Nottingham, Mansfield, and Ledbury. Her calm, kind, and caring manner makes for a perfect Patroller, especially when faced with handling violent and intimidating situations that can sometimes occur on the streets.
Her children were the forerunners for PEACEMAKERS Youth City Safety Patrols, having been part of the work since ages six and seven years old.

“Much has been done through Prayer & City Safety Patrols here in Bristol and other parts of the Country and abroad over the years, however we must up our game to become more proactive in handling these issues rather than reactive or simply leaving it up to the local authority. It is obvious that if the local authority could change mindsets and behaviours it would have done so, and though I am in no way saying we will completely obliterate street violence and gang related crimes
, I am saying that I have seen first-hand that Prayer and personal commitment to actively engage visibly through the Patrols Scheme does work. In fact it works effectively, correcting many issues at the root cause, and brought about a safer, more pleasant areas in which to live, work and play.” ~Rev Palmer, Patrols Chief
Last Month PEACEMAKERS sent out a concerned plea seeking for volunteers to help them patrol the Easton area. They did this via their website, sending out numerous generic emails and texts to patrols friends and families, local groups, and organizations and via radio Bristol in an attempt to raise safety awareness in the area and to prayer cover the streets. Although the appeal did not seem to yield a large response, the usual team took the streets covering as wide an area as they could. Today, in response to the recent double murder of two days ago, where two bodies were discovered in a house on a quiet Wood Street, Rev Palmer had this to say,

PEACEMAKERS Chief and Police Commander will be talking about the benefits, impact, and effects of local initiatives like PEACE Patrols that are geared towards helping to create safer streets and communities, and how he sees this fitting within the overall Policing and Safety of our Cities.
We will be joined by some of the Prayer City safety Patrollers, Lorna Supria CEO Taking Back our Streets London, Prayer Patrol Rep in New York, and Prayer Rep in Nigeria, and hopefully friends from Jamaica. Look forward to seeing, learning, and praying with you.

It was a bright fresh Friday Morning, 16th July, a small band of faithful gathered together outside J3 Library Easton, Bristol, to pray at the start of, a Prayerthon Patrol, and, what turned out to be ‘an amazing Patrol’ as quoted by one patroller, at the end.
The 2nd Prayer Stop was the M32 Motorway. There had been a series of deaths through motor-vehicle accidents and recently the body of a young woman was found nearby, she had been stabbed to death. 
When they arrived at the scene there was already a shire to a young man 23 years old that had recently died. 
The cause of death was uncertain to us, however, from the tributes tied to bits of cardboard hanging on the railings, and graffitied with chalk on the pavement, we gathered that it was a tragic incident, and yet another life was taken, much too early! We kept vigil and prayed before heading towards St Werburghs.
Patrolling around and Praying here was a delight, to see the changes and to enjoy the sense of peacefulness – long may it continue.
There was much to give thanks for. “You are building on our prayers,” a patroller told a new business owner after they had been invited in, they prayed and blessed the business.
Stopping briefly to pray for an elderly gentleman whose business had slowly declined, and thanksgiving outside the St Pauls Library and community cafe, patrolling along St. Nicholas Road through St. Pauls Park to the 4th Prayer Stop at Subways in front of the Memorial Murial.
I am very grateful, extremely thankful, to those who gave up their time and came out on the day, as well as the invisible Prayer Sheilds, the invincibles who covered us in prayer every step of the way. Most of all to LIFE with the invisible host of Heavenly Angels. Ameen.
In our prayer today, we remember them. We give thanks for having known them, and for having heard about them. Whichever the case, the memory of their lives leaves a stain on our consciences, a reminder, that must never forget them. It speaks to us that we must ensure that justice is brought to bear so that their death is vindicated.
Our prayer for Justice goes deeper than hearing that their murderers are caught, convicted, and doing time in jail. And this we demand as part of our prayer. However, a prison term does not suffice their innocent lives pleads for. They ask for justice that says we should all be given the chance to live out the full term of our lives.
