Idaho 2013
This journey was conducted in July 2013. Our traveling team was composed of Richard and Darlene Tittle, Jim and Taffy Spaloss, and Ria Mignano from Shore Vineyard in New Jersey, and Cheryl Newberry, a prayer leader in Idaho who represents both the Heartland and Reformation Prayer Networks.
The journey originated from directives received in prayer concerning removing a ancient "blot" from the center of Idaho in the Sawtooth Wilderness. We believed that this was a blot created by hatred, and reinforced by war, broken covenants, racial prejudice, and idolatry. There was further instruction to pray for the Salmon and Owyhee Rivers and for the source of the Snake River in Yellowstone National Park. We also believed we were to pray on Indian Land for the Shoshones in Eastern Idaho, and on the Nez Perce and Duck Valley Indian Reservations. Our itinerary included Jackson WY, Yellowstone National Park, Tendoy ID, Salmon ID, Stanley ID, Riggins ID, Copperville ID, Kamiah ID (Nez Perce Indian Reservation), Owyhee OR, Garden City ID, Owyhee NV (Duck Valley Indian Rerservation), and Wild Horse Reservoir NV.
Yellowstone Canyon
We prayed here for healing in the depth of the earth. This has been a location for previous earthquakes, and the site for worship of elemental spirits by the Sheepeater Indians.
Salmon River at Stanley ID
Near the source of the Salmon River in the heart of the Sawtooth Wilderness in Idaho, we prayed for the release of the River of Life.
Eagle near Yellow Pine ID
We prayed for the reversal of the curse against the mining communities in the heart of Idaho, which became enclaves of prejudice in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and today are very depressed places to live.
Heart of the Monster, Nez Perce, ID
This was the location where by legend the Nez Perce Indians originated. The legendary character Coyote cut the heart out of a monster, which then became this hill, and the droplets of blood became the tribe. We prayed that this tribe, which is one of the few who occupies part of the original land, would fulfill their redemptive purpose on the earth.
Worship at Owyhee River
We stopped at the New Life Revival Center Full Gospel Church on the Duck Valley Indian Reservation which lays in both Idaho and Nevada.. We worshipped, prayed, and repented along with the pastor and his wife and elders at their baptism site on the Owyhee River.
