THOUSANDS
of people around the world joined an East Lancashire
group's online prayer day for Madeleine McCann.
Madeleine's mother
Kate McCann is thought to be one of the 20,000
Christians who joined the Accrington and Burnley-based
prayer circle in a day of remembrance for Madeleine and
all missing children worldwide on Friday.
The prayer circle
known as 'music download revolution' has been up and
running for a year and members say they are becoming
increasingly popular.
The core of the
organisation is the Christian music download site, from
which the group's campaign to raise awareness of child
trafficking has attracted global attention.
John Wearne, who
belongs to St Paul's Church in Accrington and co-runs
the site, said: 'Eight jumbo jet loads of children
disappear every single day for the purposes of sex
trafficking and the church has a responsibility, a duty,
to impact this evil.
"We still believe that
Madeleine is out there and we believe in spiritual
warfare and that prayers for her will help bring her
home.
'I have also spoken to
Madeleine's mother, Kate McCann, who is happy we are
promoting this for her lost little angel. She confirmed
to me that she would be joining in.'
