About PRAYERIE
PRAYERIE is a move of God that is rising up out of a well of unity. This new stream started flowing with a collaboration of churches and business leaders who gathered together around the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Rock the Lakes festival. Since then God has expanded prayer in Erie.

WHAT IS ECBLA?
ERIE CHRISTIAN BUSINESS
LEADERS ASSOCIATION
It began in 2014 when Franklin Graham and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association helped organize over 100 churches and many small businesses in the community to host the Rock the Lakes festival in Erie, PA. 14,000 people attended this wonderful event. But even more importantly, it was the start of a movement where Christians from all over the city have been mobilized to unprecedented levels of unity and faith. One such group of friends helping to seed this movement and connect with the heart and pulse of the area is the Erie Christian Business Leaders Association (ECBLA).
