Prayer Request By: Christine Clark


My name is Christine Carol Clark, I am a victim of cyberbullying. The perpetrators have created a website wherein they are threatening murder upon me, trying to get me to commit suicide, stalking me, sexually exploiting me, criminally invading my privacy and publicly humiliating me. Because of this severe victimization I am suffering, my California Baptist University education has been interfered with. I have reported this to the Sheriff's Department, the FBI, and brought the matter to the justice system. However cases such as these take time to be resolved within the courts. Please pray for a swift resolution regarding this matter. Please pray for my safety and well-being, and that the perpetrators are brought to justice as soon as possible. I have suffered as a victim for well over two years. I believe in miracles in the name of Jesus Christ. John 14:14 Amen.
