Fasting and prayer icon Lou Engle is urging Christians to pray with him in a Los Angeles auditorium from Sunday night through Wednesday.
Feb. 20, 2009 -- Lou Engle, founder of TheCall, is imploring Christians to pray beginning this Sunday night for "reformation" to come to California's government.
Engle, a strong supporter of Proposition 8, a measure on the California ballot passed by voters last November outlawing same-sex marriage, issued his urgent call for fasting and prayer partly as a response to the legal fight gay-rights activists are waging in California courts to overthrow the gay-marriage ban.
"I'm just burning inside for California," Engle said in a video on TheCall Web site. "In a very crisis and critical moment of time, even with the Proposition 8 issue being raged over again, we are taking our stand and saying ‘no' to the powers of darkness and ‘yes' to the brilliant light of God."
