Prayers for Obama


Published: January 5, 2009 by Carla Hinton Comment on this article Leave a comment

Not everybody had New Year’s resolutions,  weight loss or black eyed peas on their mind on Jan. 1.

That was the day the Christian Defense Coalition launched a new prayer campaign for President-elect Barack Obama.

The campaign is to lead up to Jan. 20, the day of Obama’s presidential inauguration in Washington, D.C.

The coalition is asking people to pray at noon everyday in their homes, businesses and organizations that Obama change his pro-choice stance on abortion.

As part of the campaign, members of the coalition will lead a prayer vigil at noon everyday outside the White House, concluding with a large prayer vigil on the Martin Luther King national holiday on Jan. 19.
