AMERICA PROCLAIMS Prayer Ambassadors are aware of this, but I want to share as a reminder, to all Intercessors, Prayer Warriors, and Persons who Place Notices of Missing Persons: that taking 'Proper Steps' when Opening and Closing Prayer Campaigns for the MISSING, will assist Intercessors in using their time, energy, focus, and ministry time wisely.
FAKE MISSING PERSONS ANNOUNCEMENTS
This young lady could very well have been missing but there is not enough information listed by a family member or law official to make this post appear authenic. Quite frankly, one can only have a single takeaway - this is a Fake Missing Person Post. If it is not, I sincerely pray that with so little information, that people from anywhere, concerning no parent, law official or phone number, were able to locate this beautiful child and bring her home safely.
There are individuals who use social media to post "fake" missing persons announcements, and they do so for various reasons. One reason, is to heighten their own visibility on social media. You may come across a post that identifies a missing young person. The Poster will provide a few details - such as a name, date, and clothing description. But what will often be missing is contact information and the actual city, state, police or sheriff department involved with the case (along with their phone number).
Often times, when pimps of abused teens or adults are searching for these individuals they will sparcely provide details. And when they seek to market the Victim, they will hashtag # a city or word within the post. What makes it noticable is that sometimes the Poster may appear to be "the original Poster" and will #hashtag a particular city. Then from post to post, the information continues to remain scanty while the hashtag city name changes.
You can see that the Posters are not the same and that there is a different #hashtag provided on each post showing the SAME child. This is a post that I saw more than 5 times on Facebook - with each post providing a different location where the child was found.
POSTERS FORWARDING POSTS WHEN THE MISSING HAVE BEEN FOUND
Two days ago, I stopped scrolling on social media to show my concern for a Missing Person's post. I saw that the person went missing on November 8, 2024. The Poster friend of mine posted just 2 hours before I viewed his post. I went to the original Poster's account to get an update. I saw that the person had been found on November 8, 2024. This meant that my Poster friend saw the original post and simply passed it forward to his friends on November 18th - some 10 days after the date the person went missing AND WAS FOUND.
My friends, the work of police, medical, utility, educational, worship leaders (yes, worship leaders - thought I'd position them in here), EMT's, and other industry professionals are critical to the delivery of pertinent services to cities, states, countries - - and people. That's what it all comes down to - - people... individuals who need help or services NOW, today, or sometime soon. Intercessors and Prayer Warriors are extremely important when it comes to emergency situations. We are 1st Responders. MISSING Persons present "an emergency" by its very nature.
TAKE THE STATUS & PRAYERS FOR "MISSING PERSONS" SERIOUSLY
The term "MISSING Person" presents "an emergency" by its very name. A "Person" that is "missing" suggests they are not in place. They cannot be found. They were expected, but have not arrived. The phrase means that they could be in present danger... and action taken "NOW" could save their lives. MISSING People need help ASAP.
So, when a Poster -
1) fails to do necessary research to discover the latest update on that MISSING Person
2) who originally informed social media of the MISSING individual fails to provide an update
3) refuses to responsibly check details of the Post for deviant acts, Sex or Other Trafficking
4) simply SHARES the post WITHOUT READING what is RIGHT THERE before them...
that Poster is doing a GREAT disservice to society in general, to those that He or She is responsible for i.e. family, workplace, etc., to Intercessors who take time, energy, and focus away from other responsibilties, and to Victims who "currently and actually" NEED PRAYER NOW.
VET THE "MISSING PERSONS" REPORT
Please take time, Fellow Intercessors and Caring Others - to "vet the details of a Post" on a MISSING Person BEFORE SHARING IT. Intercessors take their work seriously. Police and Sheriff personnel, along with others who create FULL search teams to find the missing, care deeply and work overtime to bring someone SAFELY home. What an absolute waste of time and energy to labor in prayer over a person announced as missing, when in fact, they are safely home, in their beds.
BE HOLY SPIRIT LEAD IN HOW TO PRAY FOR RETURNED CHILDREN & CHILDREN INVOLVED WITH AMBER ALERTS
An Intercessor can still cover that returned person in prayer - as led by Holy Spirit - because there are multiple reasons why some people leave home, and go missing. Trouble at home could cause a child to run away. A non-custodial parent (who might be the best and safe parent of a child) could run with that child, in order to protect them from an unjust system or unsafe home. Of course, this is not the suggested way to handle these situations but they do happen. When AMBER Alerts are presented, I often ask Holy Spirit what is best... not just that they be found and returned to the household they were assigned to.
Intercession involves discernment given by the Spirit of God. He will instruct, guide and help. We need Him. We call upon him. He will root out... expose whereabouts, and deliver.
So, on behalf of Intercessors and Prayer Warriors around the World I ask for your consideration for this work. It takes a lot out of us - at times. We do not mind. But we want and need for our work to count and not be in vain.

This is a MUST VIEW. EVERY Parent, Grandparent, Teacher, Pastor, and Person who loves and cares about children MUST VIEW this video. Know that while 550,000 migrant children are missing - here in the US and are being trafficked - these children represent ONLY 5% of Child TRAFFICKING taking place in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The other 95% of Children TRAFFICKED in the UNITED STATES today, are AMERICAN CHILDREN. SHOCKING!!! People of God - You MUST RUN into this Fight to SAVE Our Children!!!
