Cry Out America is a prayer initiative that began after terrorists attacked our nation on September 11, 2001. These planned attacks resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths, 400 of which were police officers and firefighters. Since that day, America and the world have never been the same.
Cry Out America reminds us of these attacks on our nation and of our desperate need for God each day. As America remembers this day, we need to see it become a day where millions of Americans join for a few moments in various locations to cry out to God for our nation.
We already know of a few thousand gatherings that will be taking place. If you are having a gathering with other Americans to talk to God about our nation on September 11, please contact us at http://www.cryoutamerica.us/fi
Cry Out America was initiated by the Awakening America Alliance in 2008, but in order to strengthen the call nationwide, it was recently entrusted to the National Day of Prayer Task Force. Therefore, even in this late hour, I want to call upon all of us to focus on these matters as we Cry Out America.
