In yet more proof that the New Apostolic Reformation is trying to make itself heard in a big way this year, late yesterday several leaders of that movement got together to announce a new "prayer effort" targeting the entertainment industry:  TheCRY Hollywood.  The formal launch will be a prayer rally to be held at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, followed by a two-day "This is That Conference" at Angelus Temple.  

The people behind this are pretty much a who's who of the NAR/Latter Rain: Lou Engle, Stacey Campbell and James Goll among others.  It's being organized by Faytene Grasseschi of Canada, who has led several "CRYs" north of the border since 2002.  

The blueprint for this looks like it was lifted almost verbatim from what Engle's doing with TheCall.

TheCRY (Hollywood) is a prayer movement that gathers believers from every denomination, ethnic background and generation for a full day of prayer, fasting and abandoned worship. Those who come to TheCRYs believe in the power of prayer, fasting and speaking the love of God over a city, nation or sphere.

Prayer leaders (aka: speakers), worship leaders (aka: musicians) and artists all come at their own expense and serve freely recognizing the day is a corportate offering to the Lord as we, with one heart, pray for Him to move in entertainment media.

The leadership of TheCRY Hollywood is made up of several seasoned leaders from the Hollywood area and beyond. These leaders will lead in prayer, worship and share inspiring sound bytes throughtout the event that will direct the gathering back to prayer.

Sounds like something that anyone can get behind--but as we well know, the NAR/Latter Rain has a thing for taking perfectly laudable gestures and contorting them into something sinister.
