The Christian Coalition of Alabama is preparing for a day of prayer in Gulf Shores, AL as Gulf Coast residents await test results from the containment cap on the BP well.  The Coalition, led by Dr. Randy Brinson, is also working to partner 10,000 churches from across the country with 100,000 gulf residents to provide aid.

Dr. Brinson is in the Gulf working to mobilize local residents, and spoke to Fox’s Brian Wilson on Saturday.  In addition to the day of prayer, Brinson said the coalition is developing a website where “churches can adopt people in need and meet every need that families have.”

Also helping to organize the day of prayer is the Evangelical Environmental Network, which in conjunction with the Alabama Christian Coalition has secured the participation of Alabama community leaders including the Mayor of Orange Beach, Tony Kennon.

Initial test results from BP indicate pressure is building inside the well, a positive sign that no new leaks have developed.  Brinson has high hopes for Sunday’s prayer service, but vows no matter what happens in the short term he and his group “will continue to come down” to the Gulf.  For more information on how you can contribute to the Coalition’s effort in the Gulf, log on to http://www.ccalabama.org/.
