Prayer Rally Simulcast in Tyler

TYLER — Tyler gets involved in today’s “The Response U.S.A” event, Governor Perry’s prayer rally in Houston. Mayor Barbara Bass has issued a proclamation calling for a day of prayer and fasting, and the event will be simulcast at Green Acres Baptist Church in Tyler. Green Acres Pastor Dr. David Dykes invites everyone to the church’s new Crosswalk Conference Center for the viewing.

Visiting with our news partner KETK, Dykes said America is “a nation in crisis — and it’s not just a debt crisis or a political crisis, it’s really a moral crisis and a spiritual crisis, and prayer is the answer to that.” He adds that Christians don’t always know how to deal with the problems the country is facing, “but every single day, Christians can pray, and that is the one thing, really, that brings Christians together of all different denominational stripes.” The Houston event and the Tyler simulcast happen today from 10 a.m. till 5 p.m. You can contact the church for more information.
