 The Second Annual International Day of Prayer is about bringing together Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs,  -- individuals and leaders of all faiths and denominations -- through prayer, reflection, song, and poetry -- to embark upon a journey to eradicate the key challenges which make it impossible for the Men and Boys and our lives to be whole souls and to live longer, healthier, happier, and purpose-driven lives.

  
Imagine if you will, the powerfulness of 7.3 billion souls who occupy the space and place we know as Planet Earth -- of all faiths and denominations --  lifting their voices in prayers of thanksgiving for the  Men and Boys in our lives and for the selfless sacrifices and valuable contributions that Men quietly and unceremoniously make to our families, our communities, and our world – every day.    .    What if on Sunday, 8 November 2015 – the International Day of Prayer for Men and Boys --  Christians, Jews, Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, and Buddhists throughout our global village embark on collaborative journey to help eradicate Fatherlessness, gender wars, homelessness, intergenerational incarceration, religious and ethnic intolerance, poverty, hunger, and violence?      


         The International Day of Prayer for Men and Boys is a call for peace; it is a call for bringing hope to the hopeless.  It is a call for transforming our spiritually, psychologically and emotionally toxic communities into a loving, nurturing, and spiritually vibrant  oasis.   It is a call to end the “school-to-prison” pipeline.

  It is a call to end the rising suicide rate of Men and Boys.  It is a call to level the educational playing field for boys and put an end to boys – Our Sons – the Next Generation of Leaders, Husbands, and Fathers being arbitrarily misdiagnosed as “behavior problems” and “unteachable”, placed on Ritalin or other psychotropic medications, and warehoused in Special Education Classes. 
  It is a call to end the rising high school dropout rate among Our Sons.  It is a call to end the violence that plagues our communities and prematurely snuffs out the lives of Men and Boys. 
 


 It is a call to provide Boys and Men with real-life options.  It is a call to bring spiritual, emotional, and psychological healing to our families, our communities, and our global village.  It is a call for understanding – an understanding that each of the 7.3 billion souls who occupy this space and place we know as Planet Earth are connected to one another.  And an understanding that  we all live in grave peril if we are not working to keep Men and Boys safe and helping them to live happier, longer, and healthier lives.
