Hide details for Cardinal Edward EganCardinal Edward Egan

Cardinal Edward Egan, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of New York, praised the city's fire fighters and police officers for rushing to help those in need.

"I saw New York at its best," he said. "I saw police officers and fire fighters careless of their own safety, interested in only serving this great city, covered in soot. I saw many of them bleeding from the necks and arms. They're New York at its best."

The terrorist attacks on the United States have stunned our nation. I want to call all Americans to pray. Pray for the victims and their families. Pray for the emergency workers so overwhelmed by these multiple incidents. Pray for President Bush as he sorts through the details of this horrific attack on our nation. Pray for the people so lost and desperate that they would resort to such an act. While we can never understand why these things happen, we must remember that God is with us in this time of pain and loss. He will not leave us or forsake us. This is a time for prayer, for courage and for Americans to support one another as we carry on.

Bishop T.D. Jakes is pastor of The Potter’s House in Dallas, Texas, and the author of a number of books.

In light of the recent terrorist attacks on our country, we ask for your immediate and fervent prayer on behalf of our nation's victims, our government leaders, and those dedicated individuals rendering aid and assistance in New York and Washington, D.C.

We are blessed to report that all Campus Crusade staff in New York City and Washington, D.C., are well and accounted for. Many are already on the scene praying and encouraging those in shock and pain with the message of our Lord's love.

As God would have it, our President's Cabinet was in session when the attacks happened. We are dedicating ourselves to doing what Jesus would have us do in this time of national crisis.

The promise of Romans 8:28 has not ceased to be true. We have every reason to hope and not despair. Please claim God's wisdom for us and the Crisis Management Team as we continue to meet.

Steve Douglass is president of Campus Crusade for Christ.

Hide details for Commissioner Joe NolandCommissioner Joe Noland


The Salvation Army’s emergency food and aid vehicles and personnel have been on-site at the World Trade Center area since 10:30 a.m. ET (Tuesday) morning assisting victims and emergency personnel. Additionally, mobile emergency centers are at the plane crash site in Somerset County, Penn., and every Salvation Army emergency canteen, along with hundreds of counselors and social workers throughout the northeastern United States and Canada, are on call to serve victims, families, friends, and rescue workers 24 hours a day.

Our hearts are broken for the victims of today's tragedies, their families, and for America. Though The Salvation Army is on site providing assistance to our friends and neighbors who are the victims of this tragic event, our deepest desire would be that all Americans do what we have always done in times of national tragedy—hold fast to our faith and pray for our president and all our nation's leaders.

Throughout our history, America has remained strong because we have relied upon our faith in God, who is our deepest and surest help in times of trouble.

Commissioner Joe Noland is territorial commander, The Salvation Army, Eastern United States
