Party Prayer Protection Needed

We have an urgent prayer request, going out to all our friends and family who are reading this as well as anyone just happening by.

Those of you who know us know that we love to open our home and have friends over for parties. Some of our best memories with Zack and his friends were from the times we got together. A situation of cultural misunderstanding has arisen and we need your prayer.

We have been planning a Halloween party for several weeks now, as a way to meet Ariel's new friends and their parents and for them to get to know us. I heard from Ariel's school today because they wanted to give me warning that since Ariel had told her friends about the party over an MSN chat room, it is very possible that the information has spread and that now we may be looking at not 20 - 50 kids as we thought, but there may be 500 - 1000 kids come by, most of whom we wouldn't know, they wouldn't be students at Ariel's school, etc. Apparently, it is common here but we had no idea when planning. As you can imagine, a situation like that can easily get out of control and they recommend that we call the police to notify them so they will be on alert!

Okay, now I'm freaked out. So, instead of just calling the cops, which I will do, I know the first line of defense is a spiritual one. Please pray for this situation. We need wisdom in what to do, discernment in who should be allowed on our property, and most importantly, we need spiritual protection. Please pray for the Heavenly Host to intervene for us and also for angels to surround our home and keep us and our guests safe. Some folks here actually hire bodyguards for parties for this very reason, but I know that nothing Earthly is more powerful than prayer or more effective than God's protection and provision.

Thank you for your help. I'll let everyone know how it goes, possibly with pictures.
