In recognition of the National Day of Prayer, the Christian Broadcasting Network will have a communitywide Christian prayer service at 7 p.m. today at its outdoor tent.

He will be joined by Cindy Jacobs, founder of Generals of Intercession, an organization that conducts prayer movements around the world. Jacobs is scheduled to lead a prayer on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in the afternoon before coming to the CBN event.
