This rally was the first year that the United Nations Christian Culture Society has participated. Prayers were said in Hebrew, Korean, English, Dutch, Surinamese, French, Nigerian and Papiamento. Beside this group we also heard prayers in Hindi, Spanish and Ukrainian. It was a wonderful mixture of nations as it will be in Heaven.

Pastors as well as Missionaries were present. The missionaries [reported] on what is going on with our brothers and sisters in other countries. We are not to forget them, we also prayed for them.

[The] prayer emphasis was for strength and wisdom for our government, restoration of families, physical and spiritual healing for all people, freedom from illegal drug abuse, stop terrorism. We prayed for our youth, it is their time now and we have to pray that they do not forget who keeps them standing in this world. We prayed to God to open doors for His children to go, and possess that which He has originally already given to us.

We had worship and praises in song and dance to the Lord. We even had a rapper who sang songs that young and old enjoyed. Everybody was blessed and enjoyed themselves. People from all walks of life crowded the sidewalk and stopped to worship with us.

When the altar call was made many people gave their lives to Jesus. We came to pray the devil out of New York City! We are children of the Living God.

This Times Square Rally started with one man who heard and answered the call from God about 35 years ago. God told him to put up a tent in Queens, New York and minister to God's people. This man is Pastor John H. Boyd, Sr. After 9-11, God told him to pray for the country and the city—[especially] in the heart of the city of New York. Pastor Boyd has a burden to bring souls to the Kingdom of God. This day was a true blessing, and I am looking forward to many more celebrations.
