Our Mission - What Is It?
Loud Cry North America is a massive continent-wide endeavour designed to bring Bible prophecy directly to the people of North America. Using a, four-story statue based on Daniel 2, large life-size beasts, an interactive theatre experience, and evangelistic meetings, we want to reach people in major cities with a message they might otherwise never encounter.
This initiative will include a health message as well as a call to come out of the cities with an invitation to country living in the same manner that Enoch went to the cities to warn the inhabitants of the antediluvian world.
Phase 1 of the project has begun with the acquisition of a four-story statue carved out of a redwood tree. It will be used around the country for smaller-scale evangelistic efforts while we continue to build the rest of the needed components.
The use of a carved image replicates the methods used by the early Advent pioneers when preaching the 1844 message:
The meetings are still continued at the Great Tent, and have increased in interest since our last account.—Bro. Brewer lectured on Sabbath A. M., upon the “seven seals.” The congregations were much interested. Bro. Fitch lectured in the afternoon, briefly going over the second, seventh and eighth chapters of the prophecies of Daniel. The rise and fall of the four universal kingdoms that were to precede “God’s Everlasting Kingdom,” was illustrated in a very impressive manner, by the aid of a carved image, representing the one described in Daniel 2:32, 33. When proof was adduced that ancient Babylon fell, the head of the image was taken off and laid aside; and so of the breast and arms, the belly and sides, then the legs, leaving nothing but the feet and toes. None but the wilfully blinded could help seeing that we are living in the very last days. Bro. Fitch lectured again in the evening from Daniel 11th and 12th chapters. More attentive congregations could not be found, than we had throughout the day. The number that thronged the tent, could not have been much, if any, less than 5000 persons to each of the meetings P. M. and evening. On Monday evening the rain fell and the wind blew so as to prevent raising the tent, and there was no meeting…

The Loud Cry North America Project will require the united efforts of God’s people everywhere to accomplish, and we believe it will be the start of the loud cry that is to lighten the world with its glory. (Rev 18) The Spirit of Prophecy tells us that we need to use “no ordinary efforts” to interest the people.
Extraordinary Efforts Demanded—In the cities of today, where there is so much to attract and please, the people can be interested by no ordinary efforts. Ministers of God’s appointment will find it necessary to put forth extraordinary efforts in order to arrest the attention of the multitudes. And when they succeed in bringing together a large number of people, they must bear messages of a character so out of the usual order that the people will be aroused and warned. They must make use of every means that can possibly be devised for causing the truth to stand out clearly and distinctly. The testing message for this time is to be borne so plainly and decidedly as to startle the hearers and lead them to desire to study the Scriptures.
Testimonies For The Church 9:109 (1909). EV 40.3
Devise New and Unusual Plans—Let every worker in the Master’s vineyard, study, plan, devise methods, to reach the people where they are. We must do something out of the common course of things. We must arrest the attention. We must be deadly in earnest. We are on the very verge of times of trouble and perplexities that are scarcely dreamed of.
Letter 20, 1893. EV 122.4
We believe the plans being laid are of just such a “startling” nature that they will cause the truth to stand out clearly and distinctly. To our knowledge, no evangelistic initiative has ever combined these elements on this scale. But we do not seek to entertain the listeners, only to make a lasting, memorable impression—one that leads them to recognize the truth of the message, to want to learn more, and to ultimately give their lives to Christ.
Your help is needed to make this initiative a reality. How can you help?
- Pray. Ask God to guide and bless this work and provide the resources needed to move it forward.
- Spread the word. Tell your friends about LCNA and why you believe this work is important and should be supported. Help others see the opportunity to share in this mission.
- Give. Your kind donations will help propel the work forward. The more funding available, the sooner we can bring this message to more cities and people. Any amount will help make this project go forward.
