America Honors God, Marks National Day of Prayer
Thursday, May. 4, 2006

EST NEW YORK - Prayers are being said all across the nation today in observance of the 55th annual National Day of Prayer. Churches in Manhattan have already begun congregating to honor God in their unity and prayers with a total of some 50,000 sites across the states expected to host prayer activities and services.

Throughout the Greater New York area, Concerts of Prayer is facilitating prayer services in more than 20 venues with many churches, some NDOP first-timers, joining hands. American Bible Society kicked off its day-long prayer event this morning with each hour devoted to the five centers of power - the government, church, education, family and the media.

And Injoy, an organization founded by John C. Maxwell that develops thousands of new and emerging leaders, has also expressed support, recognizing and encouraging the national prayer movement as it gathers leaders at 600 satellite locations for a "life at work" session today.

As this year's theme - America, Honor God - calls the nation to stop and remember the One who has blessed the nation from the beginning, Christian leaders are calling attention to a world that is in urgent need of prayer. the rest
