Summary of the eRumor An email call to prayer on
3-3-2003, prayer and fasting for the United States as the threat of war with Iraq hangs in the air. Some version also suggest
praying at 3:03 for 3 minutes on that day.
The Truth
This is an interesting
one.
It was started by someone somewhere, we don't know who.
And it seemed like a good idea to other people, so it got forwarded
to multitudes of others and caught on.
As the song says, "It only takes a spark to get a fire
going."
Many churches and ministries including Ted Haggard's World Prayer
Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado, joined in calling for March 3
to be a day of prayer, so it became somewhat official.
A real example of the eRumor as it has
appeared on the Internet:
March 3, 2003
Mark your calendars as a REMINDER!
As Many of you know there is a chance our country may
be going to war
soon.... Many of you may or may not know that in scripture, the number 3
represents the Holy Trinity.... Well, I was thinking of calling for a
day
of prayer and fasting for our country...When you may ask.... March 3,
2003.
In simple terms it would be 03-03-03. Wouldn't it be great for all the
Christians in the world or at least in our country to stop what they are
doing and pray on the same day...We could make 03-03-03 God's Day... I
mean
He was there for all of us, that day on the cross...Faith is the doorway
that all miracles come through, but prayer is the key that unlocks the
door....
I hope you will pass this request on to all your
friends and family
If God brings you to it - He will bring you through
it.
