On Saturday, tens of thousands of people will gather at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium for corporate prayer and fasting for the protection of traditional marriage and the soul of our nation.
Family advocates from across the nation are expected to travel to California to be a part of the day of prayer and worship. Joining them will be Dr. James Dobson, founder and chairman of Focus on the Family.
"It is not a festival, it is a fast," Dr. Dobson said on Wednesday's radio broadcast. "It's a day of concerted prayer from 10 o'clock in the morning till 10 o'clock at night."
Dr. Dobson said he hoped thousands would join him at the free gathering.
Jenny Tyree, marriage analyst for Focus on the Family Action, said Dr. Dobson's presence in California is significant.
"Dr. Dobson is a recognized champion of marriage," she said. "His listeners know his heart for nurturing marriages, as well as his passion for strengthening the definition of marriage in our laws.
"His steadfast stance in support of traditional marriage gives strength to voters in California and across the country who share his esteem for our most pro-child institution."
On Thursday's radio broadcast, Dr. Dobson will talk with the Rev. Jim Garlow, who has helped to rally more than 1,000 California pastors behind traditional marriage.
Garlow has been senior pastor of Skyline Wesleyan Church in La Mesa, Calif., for more than 13 years.
"Skyline joins with thousands of pastors and churches across California that encourage the biblical definition of marriage," he wrote on his Web site. "We are fasting and praying for revival across California and the nation."
