“Spiritual awakenings of the Church have always occurred after a season of concerted, united prayer by God’s people in a locality, whether small or large, when the circumstances of life call His people to sacrificial prayer, repentance, and subsequent intimacy with Jesus.”
-- From "Christians Avoid Controversy, Focus on Spiritual Revival at 9/11 Event" by Michelle A. Vu, Christian Post Reporter 9/12/10
. . . the dozens of people gathered at the Pentagon Memorial on Saturday for the local Cry Out America event focused on praying for a spiritual awakening in America.
“We’ve seen the collapse of things we never thought would collapse. We’ve seen terrorism around the world, in America, on college campuses and in restaurants and places that have amazed us,” said Billy Wilson, executive chairman of the Awakening America Alliance, on Saturday. “We have seen a generation that is raised surrounded and inundated with fear.”
Under the Cry Out America theme of “Every State, Every County, and Every Heart,” Christians in 842 counties – or nearly a third of the counties in the nation – gathered at noon local time to pray for America’s armed forces, its youth, families, clergy, and churches.
