ST. JOHN’S, Newfoundland, January 19, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – On February 21st, Canadians from all across Canada will gather in St. John’s, Newfoundland, for TheCRY St. John’s, a grass roots interdenominational and intergenerational initiative emphasizing prayer, worship and fasting for the spiritual welfare of Canada.
A press release from TheCRY organizers said that indications from the attendance of CRY rallies of the past ten months – Edmonton, Ottawa/Gatineau, Iqaluit and Toronto with a total on site turnout of over 10,000 – point to the St. John’s rally possibly being the largest prayer meeting in Canadian history with many thousands expected to attend.
The first CRY was held in 2002 at Parliament Hill in Ottawa where 10,000 gathered in peaceful prayer in response to the negative consequences of “the sexual revolution, the new age movement, secular humanism, a movement of rebellion to authority and the women’s movement which has transformed into the modern day pro-choice movement.”
At the St. John’s event participants will be asked to focus their prayer on the current political and economic upheaval in the world, as well as for unity and revival in the church, family and life issues, sexual morality, and a return to ethical behavior in government.
The Cry organizers expressed their concern that Canada and the world are at a pivotal point in history: “Canada is in a very significant time of history where our prayer and actions will affect the nation for generations to come.”
“A new, and significant, element is being added to TheCRY St. John’s,” the CRY press release adds, with “mass television media, GOD TV, which has a potential audience of half a billion, broadcasting TheCRY live throughout many nations of the earth.”
