AFA's goal is to fill 62,000 seat Reliant Stadium on August 6 and more in thousands of churches across America

AFA is sponsoring The Response: a national call for prayer for a nation in crisis. Organize a Response prayer event in your church

AFA is encouraging Christians across the nation to join in a national day of prayer for our nation. Gov. Rick Perry of Texas has proclaimed Saturday, Aug. 6th, as a Day of Prayer and Fasting to seek God's guidance and wisdom in addressing the challenges that face our communities, states and nation. He has invited governors across the country to join him on Aug. 6 to participate in The Response, a non-denominational, apolitical, Christian prayer meeting hosted by the American Family Association at 62,000 seat Reliant Stadium in Houston. Gov. Perry also urged fellow governors to issue similar proclamations encouraging their constituents to pray that day for unity and righteousness for our states, nation and mankind.

Gov. Sam Brownback of Kansas has indicated that he will participate. Other governors, including Bobby Jindal of Louisiana and Haley Barbour of Mississippi, are considering participation. Gov. Paul LePage of Maine has issued a proclamation.

In sponsoring The Response, AFA is encouraging churches to organize and promote a local The Response prayer event in their communities. We encourage local churches to feel free to organize the local event to suit their local conditions. In Houston, The Response will begin at 9:00 am and close at 5:00 pm with different individuals offering prayers throughout the day. Music will be a big part of The Response with several Christian music groups participating.
