Pattersons and Rev. Smith prayed for a successful operation on Christians heart. The
Pattersons thanked the Reverend but respectfully declined to comment.
All four participants agreed to email the Los Angeles Times whether or not their prayers
were answered.
Sally Tristen commented, I am very glad that my prayer was answered. My love and
faith for God has grown exponentially. I think everyone should pray to God if they need
something; God will answer.
James Silkman also commented, I now know that God is looking after me and I can
count on him through prayer for any dilemma I face in the future.
Eric Goldstein said, Very happy that my Eagles won. I know that my faith and the
players faith in Him led to the victory. I know that without God, no matter how athletic
or talented the Eagles are, they cannot win. I realize this also applies to all aspects of life.
I would like to thank Rev. Smith again.
Out of the four prayers from Pray-with-Pastor Day, the only one not answered was the
Pattersons. Their son passed away last Tuesday from a heart defect. The Pattersons
declined to comment.
75% (3/4) of the prayers were answered, which is much higher than the reported 25%
answer rate of any other day. This correlates with 50% increase in prayers answered
shown by the study at Harvard. This years data suggests that Pray-with-Pastor Day does
lead to more prayers being answered. It can be concluded that this years Pray-withPastor Day was a success. Peoples faith in God has dramatically increased and will
continue to increase in the future.
