Happening Now- August 30, 2014 Supreme Day of Prayer III at MLK Memorial
The Beginning-
February 1, 2011 (Memphis, TN) It Happened! On January 17, 2011, the historic 25th Anniversary of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Federal Holiday, The College of Aspiring Artists (TCAA), the organizers and producers of the 1st National Tribute of the Federal Holiday from the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis, Tennessee, along with national prayer organizations, educational and industry partners celebrated, proclaimed and presented the nation’s first “Supreme Day of Prayer.” The day (along with the three-day weekend) offered prayer focus circles, prayer services and a national edutainment tribute filming the final chapter of the documentary film, FEEL THE MOVEMENT: From Prophecy to Promise at the Madame Walker Theatre in Indianapolis, Indiana. The theatre was packed to capacity. Superb vision and leadership from the staff at the Walker Theatre and the history of successful programming on this day brought a significant contribution to the day’s programming and overall success. Production Highlights featured a screening of COME WALK IN MY SHOES (the John Lewis Story), the MyMovement Forum with notables from Indianapolis led by Dr. Charles Ware, President of Crossroads Bible College, and many creative talents from Indianapolis along with a featured performance from national recording artist, Anita Hall from Hawaii.
Through a series of prayer, praise and inspirational tributes led by national organizations including the National Day of Prayer Task Force, Convoy of Hope, Pray for Hope, Prayer Surge Now, Two by Two Prayer (Memphis, Tennessee), Crossroads Bible College and others, the nation witnessed a re-presentation of “oneness in God” as King’s Prophecy so often depicted in scripture reflected in St. John 17. The success from the event has inspired the organizers to move from a Supreme Day of Prayer to proclaiming 2011 as “Supreme Year of Prayer” and during the year of 2011, cities across the nation can have the touring prayer and edutainment tribute in their cities.
13 Million Minutes Offered on 32-hour Prayer Line
Among several, a most special prayer service was held at Nu Corinthians Baptist Church in Indianapolis with National Day of Prayer Task Force Leaders including National Area Leaders from Nashville, TN, Rick and Sarah Lowe and Sherry Taggart of Kentucky. Arkansas NDP TF State Coordinators, Pastor Arthur L. and Dr. Blanche Hunt along with members of The College of Aspiring Artists, Ezra and Sonja Burdix and others on assignment included Kelly Johnson and Two by Two Prayer from Memphis with representatives from New York. Pastor Terry Webster was the host pastor for Supreme Day of Prayer Intercessory Service at 5pm on Sunday, January 16. Over 200 persons showed up and concerts of prayers were offered for the nation, families, churches and other key areas in our communities. A special visit and address from Dr. King’s nephew, Dr. Derrick King presented a powerful legacy moment.
FEEL THE MOVEMENT: From Prophecy to Promise, the film documentary captures twenty-one years from the producers beginning in Memphis conceptualizing, researching and honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Prophet. It cross references the 40-year biblical timeline between King’s final Prophecy, April 3, 1968 through April 3, 2008 and reveals the ultimate description of Dr. King post-prophecy with his assignment as a God-ordained, Preacher, Prophet, Pastor and Teacher. It then takes a look at the first two years (2008-2010) of the next 40 years to examine, but mostly put on display the truth about who God says we are from His original template in creation. The new edutainment documentary which has a release date set in the silver anniversary year (2011) will teach the principles of love, truth and liberty, and show how Dr. King’s Prophecy has been fulfilled. Previous filming sites and key moments include: National Civil Rights Museum, Mason Temple Church of God in Christ and the Orpheum Theatre in Memphis, TN, Clinton Presidential Library, Little Rock Central High School, Mosaic Templars Cultural Center, Arkansas Northeastern College, Hunt Memorial Cathedral of Faith and other key venues. Special archival footage on Dr. King, Michael Jackson, Martin Luther King, III, Dr. E.V. Hill, Rev. Clifton Davis, Dr. Rance Allen, Grammy award-winning producer, Kevin Bond and many others offer historical and biblical content of original happenings.
“January 17, 2011 was indeed a Supreme Day of Prayer and a major day of spiritual testament. We saw people of all races, creeds, colors and religion join together to celebrate the promise. Twenty-five years beyond the first celebration of the Federal Holiday honoring Dr. King, this tribute allowed us to… Reflect the Past… Inspect the Present… and Project the Future. This covers every generation from Dr. King to our next generation of dreamers, builders and keepers of the faith. And yes while we are witnessing historic progress on many fronts springing forth from Dr. King’s Prophecy/Dream, including the election of President Obama, America’s first African American President, this moment in the spirit of bringing honor to God was relegated to that of true praise for witnessing the greatness of our God whose Word always comes to pass. I believe that prophecy, like pregnancy has a term and delivery date. As the medical profession is the caretaker of pregnancies; likewise, prophecy has spiritual caretakers who insure that successful delivery is accomplished and acknowledged. We are a part of this guardianship. The days of prayer and tribute allowed us to thank God and reveal to the nation that we got it right and we are going to keep it right,” stated Arthur L. Hunt, Jr., Executive Producer.
The film is being produced by The College of Aspiring Artists and has a total cost of $350,000. Nearly $200,000 has been generated to date. To make donations for the documentary and for the Supreme Year of Prayer Tour and/or to get additional on The College of Aspiring Artists, contact:
