Thousands join East Lancashire group's prayers for Madeleine McCann

THOUSANDS of people around the world joined an East Lancashire group’s online prayer day for Madeleine McCann.

Madeleine’s mother Kate McCann is thought to be one of the 20,000 Christians who joined the Accrington and Burnley-based prayer circle in a day of remembrance for Madeleine and all missing children worldwide on Friday.

The prayer circle known as ‘music download revolution’ has been up and running for a year and members say they are becoming increasingly popular.

The core of the organisation is the Christian music download site, from which the group’s campaign to raise awareness of child trafficking has attracted global attention.

John Wearne, who belongs to St Paul’s Church in Accrington and co-runs the site, said: “Eight jumbo jet loads of children disappear every single day for the purposes of sex trafficking and the church has a responsibility, a duty, to impact this evil.

"We still believe that Madeleine is out there and we believe in spiritual warfare and that prayers for her will help bring her home.

“I have also spoken to Madeleine's mother, Kate McCann, who is happy we are promoting this for her lost little angel. She confirmed to me that she would be joining in.”

John runs the site with Burnley man Robert Robinson, a singer-songwriter who promotes the site’s music.

I would respectfully suggest all readers remain open-minded with regard to the disappearance of Madeleine McCann.

Sadly, as we have learned only too well from the recent Karen Matthews case, parents occasionally behave in the unwisest of ways.

Let us simply pray that the full truth emerges before these events bring about more tragedy.

My prayers are with Madeleine McCann every day and also for Kate McCann to find the strength to return to Portugal and respond to the 48 questions put to her by the police, which still remain unanswered.

Poor little Madeleine would not have become a 'lost little angel' had her loving parents not abandoned her and her twin siblings for a night out with friends.

Poor Madeleine. She would be safe and well if her parents would have been taken care of her.

We should all pray for Madeleine´s safe and sound return. She is alive somewhere out there, we have no evidence on the contrary. She is alive somewhere out there and can be found, and one day that will happen.

How encouraging it is that Madeleine is still thought about - that prayers are sent for her return and for strength for her family during this horrible time.

I respectfully ask that everyone keep an open mind regarding the circumstances of Madeleine's disappearance - as rumor, innuendo, and outright fiction are not beneficial to finding the truth.

I feel that respect for Madeleine is the top priority - and slurs against her family, especially in commenting to an article of this type - only victimize Madeleine further.

The small faction of organizers who have made it their life's work to comment viciously against the McCanns with every opportunity, could better put their energy and interest in Madeleine to better uses - maybe helping to find her? or helping other children around the world?

'Madeleine’s mother Kate McCann is thought to be one of the 20,000 Christians who joined the Accrington and Burnley-based prayer circle in a day of remembrance for Madeleine and all missing children worldwide on Friday'

THIS IMPLIES THAT THE MOTHER OF THE MISSING CHILD WAS IN ACCRINGTON AND BURLEY PRAYING ALONG SIDE THE 20,000 CHRISTIANS.

"I have also spoken to Madeleine's mother, Kate McCann, who is happy we are promoting this for her lost little angel. She confirmed to me that she would be joining in.”

SO WAS SHE IN ACCRINGTON AND BURNLEY OR PRAYING FROM ELSEWHERE?

'John Wearne, who belongs to St Paul’s Church in Accrington and co-runs the site, said: “Eight jumbo jet loads of children disappear every single day for the purposes of sex trafficking and the church has a responsibility, a duty, to impact this evil.'

IS JOHN WEARNE IMPLYING THAT THIS IS THE SITUATION THAT MADELEINE IS IN. IF SO WHAT EVIDENCE DOES HE HAVE TO SUPPORT THIS CLAIM.

Jill, perhaps you could suggest how people can help search for Madeleine, her own parents refused to return to Portugal to do just that.

Pedro Silva says...

Mr. Wearne is not implying anything of that kind. Just by praying for Madeleine´s safe return, that does no mean that she is in one of those nets. Come on people, please, read the news more carefully.

Perhaps you should direct that comment to the child's parents and their 7 friends. You know the ones who did not return to Portugal for a reconstruction and the mother who did not answer questions. As for looking for her. Did the parents even do that Jill?

Did they, Kim?

Sounds like fiction to me.

But certainly your prerogative to believe it :).

Yes, I do have suggestions as to how you can help.

From the comfort of your own home, you can use your computer in a positive way - by emailing the members of the detective unit in Portugal who were in charge of the investigation into Madeleine's disappearance, asking them to please not give up on her and to continue investigating any and all who could be involved - including locals (not just British locals ;)).

You can join any of the numerous groups who are emailing Madeleine's poster all over the world, in hopes that someone somewhere might remember something, or can add experiences of their own which could help towards a conclusion.

And of course, there are many children throughout the world who are missing - numerous ways that you can help.

And don't forget that with the enactment of a Europe-wide Amber-type alert, and even a Megan's Law (convicted sex offender info available to the public) there are many ways you can get involved to urge your lawmakers to adopt measures that will protect other children - maybe even your children.

It's a horrible thing to think about - but children everywhere are at risk - and every person should consider this and act to help.

Good luck.

Her own parents and friends refused to return to Portugal in an attempt to film a reconstruction of the events but are happy to endorse a prayer meeting in Blackburn - something not right here !

Wow! This faction is definitely organized.

And it's interesting to note that not only are they organized in their viciousness towards Madeleine's parents, but also absolutely no caring for Madeleine at all, if their website is any indication:

I especially recommend the Satirical threads - what amazing creativity you all have!

And while your at it - some of your members have even penned some fictional accounts - just short of libel, but oh-so-humorous and gives you something to keep you busy while others put their talents and skills to work in positive efforts.

Interesting to see how how some people choose to help Madeleine!

Jill, in England we believe in fairness and will always rise up against injustice.

Sadly, Madeleine McCann is dead and her parents have known all along. Guilty of manslaughter, not murder, concealment of a corpse and now fraud on a massive scale.

The truth will prevail, mark my words, and the dignity of justice will be done for a little girl who deserved better.

It's best if you keep busy with your little site anyway. That way, if I wonder what you all are doing, I'll know where to look ;).

In the meantime, leave the more important stuff to others who, as I said, have the talents and skills necessary to put their money where their mouths are.

Jill, don't let this convince you that people in the UK don't care, these people are a small minority - and the vicious reporting helped form their distorted opinions. There are a lot of people out there who care about Madeleine, and who pray for the McCanns. Especially at Christmas time.

JILL, WHY SHOULD THE GENERAL PUBLIC E-MAIL THE PEOPLE WHO WERE IN CHARGE OF THE INVESTIGATION? I BELIEVE THE PARENTS OF THE CHILD WHO MYSERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED HAD THE RIGHT TO ASK FOR THE INVESTIGATION IN PORTUGAL TO BE RE-OPENED ON OR AROUND 20TH SEPT 08. WHY DID THEY NOT DO THAT JILL? ALSO WHY HAVE THE PARENTS NOT ASKED OR DEMANDED THAT THE BRITISH AUTHORITIES INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER? SURELY THAT WOULD BE DOING THE BEST FOR THEIR CHILD THAT MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED RATHER THAN PRAYING AND WORKING HARD BEHING THE SCREENS OF THEIR COMPUTERS!

You can join any of the numerous groups who are emailing Madeleine's poster all over the world, in hopes that someone somewhere might remember something, or can add experiences of their own which could help towards a conclusion.

JILL, HOW ON EARTH DOES E-MAILING A POSTER ALL OVER THE WORLD OF THE CHILD WHO MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED 19 MONTHS AGO HELP FIND HER? SURELY THE PARENTS SHOULD SPEND MONEY FROM THE FUND, THAT THE PUBLIC GENEROUSLY DONATED, PRINTING AND DISTRIBUTING THE POSTER ALL OVER THE WORLD THEMSELVES.

'I swear, someday I'm going to write a book. Name it "Sheeple". I'll make sure to give you all acknowledgments'

JILLPOPS IF YOU EVER WRITE YOUR BOOK SOMETHING GOOD WILL COME OUT OF IT, THAT WAY YOU WILL HAVE READ A BOOK. SURELY ACKNOWLEDGING THE MISSING CHILD WOULD BE ALL THAT WAS ON YOUR MIND AND NOT HAVING A CHEAP SHOT AT PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIFFERING OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM YOU. THANKS FOR YOUR 5.55pm POST WITH THE LINK YOU PROVIDE TO A FORUM SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH. EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A LOOK.

Hi Jill from the USA,

These parents gave no respect to their 3 children. IMO they are fair game for any criticism at their selfish and thoughtless parenting.

They left 3 children under the age of 4 every night of their Holiday in PDL, not just on May 3rd, leaving them from approx 8:30pm till midnight which was their routine.

Shane on them.

And if Amaral's studied opinion is correct and she died by accident, neglected and then her body hidden away by them, saying 'Find the body and prove it' ~ Let it be the reason there are people who still fight for the Truth about what happened to Madeleine and where she could be today.

It is really ALL about Madeleine xox

"if Amaral's studied opinion is right", Scandi?

Amaral was SACKED.

Don't you think maybe it's time to stop this hatred, Scandi?

How dare you and your friends make vicious comments about Madeleine's parents on an article about a day of prayer for Madeleine?

Is it your intention to, no matter what the content, follow Madeleine news around for eternity - continuing to victimize this child?

Is there nothing that can ever be printed about MADELEINE that you will not defame with ugly, hate-filled missives about her parents?

Shame on you. You and your friends have defiled this child incessantly with your inability to see the forest for the trees.

I have a newsflash for you: the PJ had all the info you have for over a year, and try as they might they were not able to find a connection they could use to railroad her parents.

At that, they closed the file. Good job, PJ.

Then, you and yours got this info.

And you have spent how many months dissecting every "mmm", "yeah", "clearing of the throat" while you try to pretend you know something of how search dogs operate?

Give me a break.

Your hatred, and egotism, has caused you to spend the last year and a half of your life NOT considering the most important thing: Madeleine.

I have a great idea: why don't you write up a report of your most well-analyzed findings, and send them on to the head of the PJ? Maybe between the two of you, you could break the case!

Could you please explain why the general public, including me, should ask the PJ to re-open this case when the parents' personal friends could not be bothered to assist in a reconstruction in Portugal and when those same parents had the right to demand the case be re-opened but didn't bother?

lib6266 says...
12:33am Wed 10 Dec 08

Wow!! what a lot of vindictive posters on this site. I have just read all these messages, and feel that I must congratulate and support Jill Bloom from the USA. I feel as strongly as you do Jill in my support of the McCanns. They are completely innocent of all charges, and anyone who continues to victimise them, as these posters are doing, should be brought to task. You lot may have an opinion, but the evidence is stacked up against your theories. The case was shelved by the Portuguese police because of the lack of evidence. They tried for over 12 months to pin the disappearance of Madeleine on her parents, instead of conducting a thorough search for the little girl because of their inept policing in the first instance. One ex-detective said that it was most bungled case he has ever seen.
As far as Scandi's comment is concerned about Ameral 'retiring' - this fat slob was sacked from his position because he criticised the British police, instead of doing his job he went on four hour boozy lunches, and told his formula one pal that the McCanns had killed Madeleine before he had any proof. Then he went on to write a book so that he could cash in on the plight of Madeleine and her parents. Is that what you call an honourable man?? I don't think so.
If Madeleine is dead, where is the body? Surely the Portuguese police could find that with their exceptional skills and their wonderful sniffer dogs?
Oh. and by the way, the sniffer dogs from England weren't called in until August, four months after Madeleine was abducted, and after two families had stayed in 5A Ocean Club apartment.
As far as BateBird is concerned, Jill, and I for that matter, have every right to post on your local newspaper site.
I believe that the people who are still calling the McCanns after 19 months ought to put their efforts into doing something productive to help find this little girl. Because I believe that she is still out there waiting to be found. You people are not helping in the slightest. If you care for Madeleine as much as you want justice for her, then do something productive instead of slating her parents.
If you think that she is dead, well so be it, but just keep quiet. We have heard all the vicious comments thousands of times over. Let the people who still believe she is alive continue their search. I contribute to the Madeleine Fund every month, and have done since she was taken. That is my way of helping the search, together with my posters in my car, and my label on my handbag. They all serve to remind people that she is still missing.
What I would like to know from you vindictive people is when will you get tired of your continuing tyrade, have you nothing better to do in your lives. If not, I feel nothing but pity for you. Why don't you start a thread on Karen Matthews - now that is a woman that should be pilloried!!! And she had the gall to ask the McCanns for some of the Madeleine Fund!!! And what about the lowest of the low that tortured and killed Baby P. These people are far more deserving of your hatred.
For goodness sake, leave the McCanns alone. Madeleine will be found if Jill and I have anything to do with it.

lib6266 says...
12:43am Wed 10 Dec 08

To Jim 2002 - Why should the McCanns agree to a reconstruction 12 months after the event? Our police reconstruct any crime a few weeks after it has occurred. Nothing could possibly be achieved 12 months on.
Anyway, there was an ulteria motive to get the McCanns back to Portugal. The police at that stage still wanted to pin the abduction and, in their opinion, murder, of Madeleine on Kate McCann. She would have been yet another mother who was accused of a crime she didn't commit, just like Joanna's mother a few years previous.
What would you have done in their position? I sure as hell wouldn't have gone back to Portugal, anyway they were advised by their solicitors not to go.

Hi Cheshire,

I do respect your opinion even if we disagree on certain points.

I wanted to give you the case of Daniel Watson who was arrested 5 years from the time of his wife's death in 2003.

A reconstruction was done in Australia and Daniel refused to attend. The crime scene was recreated with stand-ins for him and his wife who were scuba diving off a reef.

What the reconstruction made apparant after 5 years is that if his wife was where he said she was when she started to float down to the sandy bottom, lifeless, she would have landed in a different location that where they found her.

Case solved and he was arrested this year and will be tried in Australia.

IMO time sometimes stands still for crime.

Respectfully. Scandi

I DO NOT HATE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CRIMES YOU MENTION ABOVE. JUST AS I DO NOT HATE THE PARENTS OF THE CHILD WHO MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED IN PdL 0N 03/05/07. THE CHILD WHO WAS LEFT WITHOUT ANY SUPERVISION IN A HOLIDAY FLAT WITH HER SIBLINGS THEN ALL AGED 3 AND UNDER. THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT THE 3 CHILDREN WERE LEFT IN WERE THE CATALYST TO WHATEVER SITUATION THE MISSING CHILD MAY OR MAY NOT BE IN NOW, IMO.

Hi Scandi
Thanks for your explanation - but if Madeleine had been murdered her body hasn't been found, therefore how can anyone prove by any way or means that she had been murdered by anyone??

11:45pm Wed 10 Dec 08

Once again Lia - Your comment after mine re: 'I believe that the people who are still calling the McCanns after 19 months ought to put their efforts into doing something productive to help find this little girl.'

SURELY THAT IS WHAT HER PARENTS SHOULD HAVE DONE SHOULD BE DOING.

Her parents have been searching for Madeleine night and day. They have private detectives scouring the world for her. There is no point in them going, and even if they did people such as you would pull them to pieces for 'not looking after their other two children properly'. They are between a rock and a hard place, and can't win either way. That's why they need people such as myself and Jill to stand up for them. Regards lib 6266

Hi Cheshire,

I don't believe Madeleine was murdered, but rather died by accident.

Steve, the owner of the site Batty posted above, has studied this case with great intensity from the beginning,

Today he stated at the 3A's "There is overwhelming evidence that shows Madeleine McCann died in or near Apt 5A at the Ocean Club Resort in Praia da Luz . . . A court of law hasn't adjudicated on that evidence is all, but the statement is still 100% true." Stevo

So that means the PJ have enough evidence to prove she is dead. The PJ have also stated her body was hidden and moved several times, in fact they stated they know where the first place is she was put.

As to proving who was responsible for the conditions surrounding her death and eventually hiding her body so it would be difficult to find, I leave that to the investigators. The Circumstantial evidence is solid from what we have all read, and we know they have kept back info on evidence as investigators always do.

Cheshire, if I could learn of any evidence that has been found showing someone other than members of the T9 are responsible for disposing of her body against the law, I would be totally open to looking at it.

In the 19 months since she disappeared there has been nothing showing this, been studied and ruled out, and it seems everything points to an inside job from what I have read and IMO.

Something I find worthy of note is the ex-CID detective Mr Mark Williams-Thomas penned a short article discussing the 4 possible ways Madeleine could have gone missing. He ruled out her walking away on her own and a stranger abduction as I remember, and said the most likely scenario to put at the top of the list would be someone familiar to her - parents and he included the friends as well. This was written in the Sunmer of '07, and by October he started working for the McCann Team in some capacity. Hmmmmm ;}

PS: I know you don't like Amaral, but have you read his book? It is Velly Intellesting as Dr Henry Lee would say!

Very well said Scandi! I don't how Jill Bloom can accuse you of "hatred" and "vicious comments".

If anyone would like to find out more about Madeleine's disappearance, Stevo's other excellent site can be found here:

If you would rather read news reports and facts than opinions on forums, you'll find it interesting.

Christians are supposed to tell the truth so please everyone start praying the Mccanns will start telling the truth as if you check the statements made by them and their friends they appear to be full of untruths and inconsistencies, they seem to have changed their statements so many times they have forgotten what they previously said imo.

Sorry Nigel.

McCannfiles isn't Stevo's site, it's Nigel's.

Johnw963, it goes without saying we share in your prayers for all genuinely missing children.

The McCanns' naive and arrogant actions have had consequences more far-reaching than anything they could possibly have imagined.

I simply hope and pray that, one day, they feel compelled to do what is right and tell the truth.

A happy and peaceful Christmas to you all.
