The wait is over! Rick Perry will host his much-buzzed about Christian prayer-fest "The Response" in Houston on Saturday, where participants will ask for divine help to overcome America's myriad problems.
"A historic crisis facing our nation and threatening our future demands a historic response from the church," Perry said in a video recorded to promote the event.
