The "Call2Fall" event, envisioned by FRC President Tony Perkins, was first held in 2009. Last year, more than 600,000 people joined FRC for the second-annual event. Call2Fall is based on 2 Chronicles 7:14, which reads: "If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
Of the event, Perkins said:
"Our nation's journey back to God begins on our knees in humility and repentant prayer. America is at a crossroads no less critical than when our nation's founders bowed together in humble prayer before Almighty God. God answered their prayers, and He still hears and answers the prayers of those who call on Him with sincere hearts.
"This Sunday, more than one million believers across the nation will fall on their knees for at least five minutes to cry out to God to heal our nation, and thank Him for the wonderful gifts He has bestowed on us.
"Like our great Founding Fathers, we will declare our dependence on God, even as we celebrate our independence."
