Iowa Governor Signs Proclamation Calling For Prayer, Repentance

Republican Governor Terry Branstad signed a proclamation calling for prayer and repentance to begin on 7/14. That’s because of Second Chronicles 7:14 that says, “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” And Branstad wants us to set our cell phones for 7:14 AM and PM so we can be reminded of the need to pray.

Is Terry Branstand a the chief executive of a state or its pastor?
