John Rich, multi-platinum singer/songwriter, TV host and one half of the super duo Big & Rich will debut “Earth To God” on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” on Friday, September 25th at 8:45 am and discuss his involvement with this Saturday’s "Washington Prayer March 2020 with Franklin Graham".
Rich will perform during the live broadcast of the historic march in Washington on Saturday, September 26th, as well as share the accompanying video that features Samaritan’s Purse international relief efforts.
The Washington Prayer March 2020 takes place from Noon- 2:00 p.m. EST at the Lincoln Memorial and will end at the U.S. Capitol. Along the 1.8 mile route, the march will pause at seven locations for focused prayers on key issues in our nation today. The event will be live streamed at https://prayermarch2020.com
“I am honored and humbled like no other time I can recall," says John Rich. “To be a part of such a monumental event with people that I have respected and looked up to my entire life is a gift only our God could deliver. The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and what Franklin has done to carry the Gospel around the globe is a blessing of guidance and hope. To be able to perform this ‘prayer’ to millions is what a song like that is all about. I thank the ministry and God for this opportunity to send out this prayer around the world.”
Franklin Graham states "Across our nation and around the world, people are hurting, division and suffering fill the news, and families face uncertainty and fear. Yet even in this time of global turmoil, our only hope is in Almighty God, and in His son, the Lord, Jesus Christ. Praying in His Name is the most important thing we can do.
Our trust in the power of prayer is at the heart of Prayer March 2020, and also at the heart of a new song by country music artist John Rich. “Earth to God” is a powerful plea for God to heal the world that He made. I want to thank John for his song that helps point our attention back to the true source of our hope and strength.
John will join my daughter, Cissie Graham Lynch, and Governor Mike Huckabee during the live stream portion of Prayer March 2020 in Washington, D.C. I hope you can join us on Sept. 26. The event begins at 12 p.m. at the Lincoln Memorial and will end at the U.S. Capitol. God bless.”
John Rich describes “Earth To God.” "As I sit and watch our world spin more and more out of control with anger, disease and hatred, I sometimes feel helpless and alone. I realized that this was the first time in my lifetime that the entire world was in the same bad situation all at the same time. I've always believed that 'man cannot fix man's problems' but God can! The thought of our planet sending an SOS to God came to my mind and the song was born. I recorded it to hopefully bring peace, hope and unity to every human being that hears it. Amen."
