George O. Wood Issues National Call to Prayer on 9/11

Assemblies of God General Superintendent George O. Wood issued a national call to prayer for the 15th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001.  

“I am asking Assemblies of God churches to either dedicate your Sunday, 9/11 morning worship services to praying for America or dedicate 11 minutes in your 9/11 morning worship services to praying for America,” Wood says. “Our world needs God and God’s people to pray and show compassionate care.”  

Many Christians around the country participate in the annual Cry Out America event, which invites believers to pray for revival in response to the original 9/11 attacks.  

Event coordinators ask every believer to do this: 

We strongly urge all churches and followers of Jesus in America to unite in seeking the face of God through prayer and fasting, persistently asking our Father to send revival to the Church and spiritual awakening to our nation so that Christ’s Great Commission might be fulfilled worldwide in our generation.

This voluntary agreement in prayer seems “good to the Holy Spirit and to us” (Acts 15:28) in light of the promise of Jesus in Matthew 18:19 and the unity for which Jesus prayed in John 17.
