MEDIA ADVISORY

HERNDON, VA (September 29, 2009) - Global Prayer and Fasting Coalition gains momentum as threats of terrorism, H1N1 Pandemic, and civil unrest threaten world peace and security
October 2 - 12, 2009

Who: 17th Annual International Week of Prayer and Fasting

What: The International Week of Prayer and Fasting Coalition has gained huge momentum as global threats escalate creating much unrest. According to sources, there is a serious threat of a possible sequel to 9-11, a plot called the American Hiroshima. This threat involves a plan to detonate suitcase bombs on several cities. As we see these times grow darker and more troubled, this global movement is calling upon the faithful to begin protecting their cities by participating in Eucharistic adoration. One of the key cities is Chicago where there are many reports of terrorists wanting to strike. Where sin abounds, grace abounds more. We need to take advantage of what St. Paul wrote and invoke that grace.

The goals of "the week" are: the conversion of nations, an end to abortion, and peace. This year's theme is God's Plan for Life and Love.
