Cleveland, Tenn.— Cry out America is experiencing a tremendous increase of registrations from intercessors, pastors, churches, ministries, and citizens willing to lead public prayer gatherings on Wednesday, September 11, 2014.
Cry Out America is the grassroots prayer initiative of theAwakening America Alliance, an organization formed in 2007 to “provide a broad umbrella under which the body of Christ in America can unite together in seeking a contemporary spiritual awakening.”
The Cry Out America September 11 gatherings initially began as noon prayer meetings at county courthouses across the nation. People have joined together crying out in repentance and asking God for mercy at the place of justice. This effort to unite citizens of every state, every county, and every church in prayer for a Christ Awakening in the nation has mobilized hundreds of thousands at 9/11 prayer gatherings in all 50 states, including 38 U.S. counties with a population of one million or more. The Alliance has witnessed people join hands and hearts across major denominational lines—mainline Evangelicals, Protestants, Catholics, and traditional Pentecostals—all coming together under the banner of Christ.
The Patriot Day sacred assemblies continue primarily at 12:00 noon at county courthouses throughout the nation but have broadened to state capitols, churches, and other public venues. For 2014, COA prayer points are expanding to include Prison Fellowship Ministries, pregnancy care centers, university campuses, marketplace groups, and other para-church ministries. Communities are incorporating 24–7 prayer in the days leading to 9/11, and others are including cooperative evangelism and service initiatives.
COA National Coordinator, Kay Horner has chosen Today’s Dream Awakens Tomorrow’s Destiny as this year’s theme. We must ask ourselves: “If dreams birth desires and desires determine destiny, what is the vision God has placed in our hearts for the emerging generations following in our footsteps?” Kay continued, “We need people to respond to the passion God has placed in their hearts and join us in this vital prayer movement.”
