More than just a simple prayer, TheCRY is, according to Director Faytene Grasseschi, "not a concert or a conference, this is a cry for God to move with His love and power in entertainment media in a way that will impact the masses."
Prayer leaders, worship leaders and artists will come at their own expense and offer their prayers with one heart proclaiming and asking God to move the entertainment industry during the March 15 event. With this gathering, Grasseschi hopes to see significant shifts in the world.

It might help the local economy, but I have heard complaints from local merchants before about Christian gatherings. They tend to be tighter with their money, don't spend nearly as much at bars or with streetwalkers as your typical Hollywood visitors.
