The Dallas Morning News: The first Global Day of Prayer, an international event scheduled for May 15, will include a multichurch service in Dallas with megachurches: Prestonwood Baptist Church, Potter's House and Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship, and smaller churches.
The day of prayer will be followed by 90 days of work, organizers say. The goal is to marshal a new army of church-connected volunteers willing to build homes, clean up trash, paint schools and otherwise improve conditions in southern Dallas.
The Rev. Rick Warren, senior pastor at Saddleback Church in California and the author of the bestselling "Purpose-Driven Life," is scheduled to participate in the Dallas prayer event.
