Pastor Jack Graham and Pastor Greg Laurie Lead Virtual Event for National Day of Prayer on Thursday

Published

on

On May 7, 2020, the National Day of Prayer will be celebrated across the nation in a virtual event led by Pastor Jack Graham and Pastor Greg Laurie, featuring special guests such as the Hon. Michael R. Pompeo, secretary of state, Mr. William Franklin Graham III and Dr. Tony Evans. The event is hosted by Pray.com and will take place on Thursday, May 7 at 4 p.m. PT/7 p.m. ET.

“For many years, we’ve come together on the National Day of Prayer to lift up our country in prayer,” Dr. Jack Graham said. “Although we can’t gather in our nation’s capital this year due to the pandemic, we have a unique opportunity to come together virtually and exalt the name of God and worship Him in the midst of this crisis. Christian leaders from throughout the country will participate—praying for the advancement of the kingdom and the proclamation of the gospel as we seek to provide hope to the hurting through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”

This year is the 69th consecutive observation of the National Day of Prayer across the nation. Starting with John Hancock in 1775, the National Day of Prayer has been celebrated as a traditional part of the American experience. Our modern observances were established by law by unanimous approval by Congress and signed by President Truman in 1952. That law was modified in 1988 by Congress and signed by President Reagan, designating the first Thursday in May as the National Day of Prayer, just as Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of each year.

“Our nation needs prayer now more than ever, and so it is fitting that we gather on this day to remind us that we should seek the Almighty God every day in prayer,” said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

At a time of national turmoil and distress, leaders associated with President Donald J. Trump’s White House Faith and Opportunity Initiative continue the tradition of celebrating the National Day of Prayer. Pastors such as Greg Laurie, Chris Hodges and Samuel Rodriguez encourage all citizens to join in this observance in the recognition of the importance of prayer in enabling United States citizens to meet the challenges that lie ahead in battling the coronavirus pandemic.

“At Pray.com, prayer is our priority, and we want to use this national holiday to remind people of the importance of prayer and its power to enable us to meet the challenges that lie ahead with courage, wisdom and justice,” said Steve Gatena, CEO of Pray.com.

Experience the power of prayer through an incredible livestream including pastors such as Franklin Graham, Jentezen Franklin, Dr. Tony Evans, Robert Morris, Gregg Matte, Chris Hodges, Skip Heitzig, Levi Lusko, Joni Eareckson Tada, Samuel Rodriguez, Eric Metaxas, Johnnie Moore and Matt Potter from Pray.com.

“Today we are going to pray for our nation and the healing of this country,” said Franklin Graham, CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA).

The National Day of Prayer livestream is produced by Pray.com. Pray.com was founded in 2016, with a mission to grow faith and cultivate community. Pray.com gives people encouragement and inspiration through daily prayer and faith-based audio content such as Bedtime Bible Stories.

Toronto Declares December as Christian Heritage Month, Following Heated Debate: Christians Jubilant to Celebrate Faith

Published

on

In a landmark decision on November 14th, 2024, Toronto’s City Council officially declared December as Christian Heritage Month, sparking jubilation among the city’s Christian community. This historic celebration will take place in the very council chambers where a heated debate on the topic unfolded, adding profound significance to the occasion and reflecting the depth of engagement surrounding this important decision.

To commemorate this milestone, a celebratory event will be held on Thursday, November 21st, from 4:30 to 7:30 PM, providing a space for Christians across the region to come together and honor their faith and heritage. The event is being organized by Christian Music Festival.

The celebratory event on November 21st promises to be a powerful expression of faith and freedom, uniting communities to honor the historic declaration of Christian Heritage Month.

The movement to declare December as Christian Heritage Month is being spearheaded by Molly Banerjei, a passionate advocate for the initiative, who has garnered support from a diverse coalition of volunteers, pastors, faith leaders, and community members from across Canada. This national grassroots movement has received backing from Canadians of various backgrounds, including First Nations, African, South American, Asian, Caribbean, and European communities.

“As a proud Christian Canadian, this moment fills me with hope and gratitude,” said Molly Banerjei. “Christian Heritage Month is not just about celebrating faith but about honoring the values of love, service, and community that have strengthened our nation’s fabric for generations.”

With this declaration, Toronto joins over 30 municipalities across Canada, including Ottawa, Mississauga, Markham, Vaughan, and Durham Region, that have also recognized December as Christian Heritage Month. Many of these municipalities will be holding flag-raising ceremonies to mark the occasion, signifying the importance of this movement in the Canadian mosaic.

“This is not just a celebration of Christianity; it’s about recognizing the contributions of Christian communities to every aspect of Canadian society,” said Banerjei. “By celebrating Christian Heritage Month, we honor the diversity that makes Canada strong and the faith that has shaped this great nation.”

Councillor Lilly Cheng added, “There’s so much good and beauty in Christianity. So, I don’t think it’s something to be ashamed of to say I’m Christian. This is an important day for our city and the Canadian people.”

As December approaches, churches across Toronto, Vaughan, Durham Region, and beyond are preparing events, services, and outreach activities to mark this historic occasion. The recognition of Christian Heritage Month in Toronto is seen as a major step toward greater inclusivity and acknowledgment of the values that unite Canadians across the country.

The celebratory event on November 21st promises to be a powerful expression of faith and freedom, uniting communities to honor the historic declaration of Christian Heritage Month.

British Evangelist Slashed, Imprisoned, Threatened with Death, Keeps Going

Published

on

LONDON – An ex-Muslim turned Christian evangelist has been beaten, chased by angry mobs, unlawfully jailed and even stabbed, all for the sake of the Gospel.

This is not in Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia. It is officially happening in Christian Britain.

Her name is Hatun Tash, and what has been done to her has even caught the attention of the British media.

Tash grew up in Turkey as a Muslim and became a Christian after moving to England. And being an ex-Muslim speaking out against Islam has made her a target.

She told us she has changed residences more than 50 times in the past four years because she knows Muslims are looking for her in order to kill her. One man has already been sentenced to 24 years in prison for trying.

Because of this ongoing danger, she asked that we interview her from a secret location.

Tash told us her conversion to Christ began when she learned the truth about Islam and Mohammed.

“As I read biography, it was very disturbing to me. So, the man you grew up to love and honor suddenly turns out to be like, yeah, not good, not good. And I decided, I can’t be Muslim.”

Then she learned about a very different God than the one of Islam, telling us, “As you dig into it, you get to meet with a God who is not silent or far or distant from you, but you meet with a God who loves you, who pours out himself on you. And not only that, He just puts himself on the cross and then says, ‘I love you from everlasting to everlasting, Come to me.'”

Tash began sharing this message to Muslims at Speakers Corner, in London’s Hyde Park, where speakers climb atop stepladders and vigorous debates ensue, often between Muslims and Christians.

Her preaching and criticism of Islam has sometimes enraged Muslims, and three years ago a man slashed her face with a knife. He has never been caught.

She however has been arrested unlawfully more than once. The London Police have twice paid her damages for wrongful arrests, including two years ago when she refused to leave the area where she was preaching. Tash was forcibly marched through Hyde Park, followed by Muslims celebrating her arrest. She was placed in a police van, strip-searched, and jailed.

This has not stopped Tash from going to mosques and sharing the Gospel daily.

“I would simply stand in front of the mosques, and I’d say ‘Muhammad is a false prophet. Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Tell me, what is your objections?’ Hundreds of Muslims just stop and then they want to talk to you. Sometimes you get harmed, sometimes it gets dangerous. Sometimes you end up in hospitals, sometimes you end up in people’s homes for a cup of tea,” Tash said.

“I don’t care whether people reject me or not. They need to hear the gospel,” she said.

Christian Concern’s Christian Legal Centre has defended Tash. Christian Concern’s Andrea Williams told us, “The truth is that those that have attempted to kill her have been caught on camera. The police know who they are, but they have not been arrested. She is feared by and targeted by Muslim groups because she is fearless for the gospel. She loves Jesus so much that nothing will halt her.”

Tash says she will continue to preach and continue to challenge Islam.

“Things are dangerous. Should I choose to stay silent? Like when people are spending 5,000 Pounds to buy a gun, to shoot you and shoot your loved ones? The Gospel is so glorious, I cannot be silent. And the Lord is the giver of life. So, when it’s my time, He will take me home. But until He gives me breath, we continue to preach.”
