In a recent conference call with Governor Rick Perry of Texas, he said: "It will be a time to call out to God... to get on our knees and pray. America faces an abundance of crises. Like the Founding Fathers, Harry Truman and others, we need God to bless and guide us... We need to set aside our differences and get on our knees to pray."

No political placards are being permitted and clothing with political statements is being strongly discouraged. It is a time for seeking the Lord through prayer and fasting only. There will also be a simulcast via the Internet that you can tune into if you are unable to be there at Houston's Reliant Stadium in person.

A National Solemn Assembly called The Response: A Call to Prayer for a Nation in Crisis, will be held on Saturday, August 6, 2011, in Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. There will be no political agenda, no merchandise sold, no ministries promoted, no literature distributed and no offering taken. Registration is free. This event will not promote any denomination or organization. It will simply be a gathering of those who love God and love America in response to this invitation to join together and ask for His mercy, guidance, wisdom and provision. The website, www.theresponseusa.com, will give you critical information and help you see how this movement is building across the USA and among national church leaders.”

Please pray for the USA at this crucial time in the nation’s history and for the success of this timely attempt to bring Christ’s people together to pray for God’s deliverance of the nation.
