TheCRY Hollywood, March 15, 2012
THECRY HEART: TheCRY Hollywood full day of prayer, fasting and worship in the heart of Hollywood. The focus is to call the world to bless what God is doing in entertainment media both in Hollywood and globally. We believe there is tremendous power in blessing and speaking life. We believe there is power in prayer and fasting. We believe there is power in lifting up the name of Jesus in anointed and pure worship. We believe God loves Hollywood and has an important plan for her in this hour of human history. We believe that as Christians, both locally and from across the world, unite in prayer in the heart of Hollywood God will do exceedingly above all we can ask or Imagine. We believe.
We are very excited about TheCRY on March 15th and wanted to genuinely invite you all to be a part of it in any way you feel led. We so honor the Body of Christ and recognized the tremendous work each one of you has done in raising up prayer in the area. Again, we want to say how grateful we are for you. As you have been faithful on your post it has impacted the world because of the calling on Hollywood, LA and Southern California.
We do pray that TheCRY Hollywood will be a source of tremendous blessing and strength to all the Lord is doing in the Hollywood community and entertainment media. We look forward to walking together with you towards March 15th! Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions at all! We would be honored to connect.

Christians in Egypt Unite in Prayer
In ‘Garbage City’ in Cairo, thousands of people live amidst the growing garbage piles which they sort each day for their livelihood. The stench is overwhelming at times. The people are the poorest of the poor and many are believers. They have a renowned church called the Cave Church, which they have hollowed out in a mountain, and which has seating capacity of 20,000 people. All along the sides of the mountain, they’ve engraved Bible scenes and Bible verses in Arabic. It’s an amazing sight.
This was the location of an all-night prayer meeting on November 11, which had an overflowing 75,000 people in attendance from all denominations to pray for the nation. It was the first time in the history of Egypt that leaders from all denominations united together for such an event. Many people watched the service on screens set up all over the mountain and joined in—hands lifted up, eyes to heaven, and tears flowing down their faces. Check out this impressive video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q62ZcqIukfI) of the prayer gathering.
Praise the Lord for this massive prayer effort and continue to pray for Egypt in its journey to find a new political reality that will ensure full freedom and human rights for its citizens.

Pray for Pakistan
…as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many. 2 Corinthians 1:11
A number of prayer outreaches and seminars occurred during the month of November in Pakistan:
Please pray for those who took part that they would be built up and that they can have the victory through prayer. Many are feeling very threatened and overwhelmed by the evil that is going on in their country. Pray that the Christians will REALIZE that the situation is very CRUCIAL but not hopeless and that they will be united in spite of their different denominations and ethnic or caste groups. (Because of the caste system, tremendous divisions have come into the church.)
To accomplish the above, we feel that a spirit of REPENTANCE and FORGIVENESS must come. (In the culture where 95% of everything is based on saving or losing face, this will be a difficult thing to accomplish. We need prayer and wisdom on how to handle this.) Pray the Holy Spirit will work and lead.
