Prayers are said for the 21-year-old who is still fighting for her life in hospital after being found in a bath last month.
Hundreds of people have gathered with candles and torches to pray for Whitney Houston’s daughter who is fighting for her life after being found face-down in a bath.
“Shining a Light for Healing for Bobbi Kristina Brown” was held at the Riverdale Town Center amphitheatre south of Atlanta, Georgia, a venue that Bobbi Brown’s father, singer Bobby Brown, christened as its first performer in 2010.

Brown, 21, is the only child between Bobby Brown and Houston. Her family has said she is “fighting for her life” at an Atlanta hospital.
Police have not disclosed many details of the circumstances in which Brown was found.

Houston was also found unresponsive in a bath on 11 February, 2012, and later died. Wednesday will mark three years since Houston’s death.
Riverdale Mayor Evelyn Wynn-Dixon was among those who sang gospel hymns on stage, as members of the crowd sang and danced along.
Several vigil speakers touched on the struggles and scrutiny Brown’s family has faced in recent years, comparing them to their own trials and tribulations.
“They bleed and hurt like us,” Wynn-Dixon told the crowd before singing the gospel song There’s A Leak In This Old Building.
Brian and Poco Reese, both 52, of Johns Creek, Georgia, said they would make the roughly 40-mile (64km) drive back home feeling hopeful for Bobbi Kristina’s recovery.
“We watched her grow over the years. We love her,” Poco Reese added. “You know, with everything she’s gone through, with everything she’s endured, we love her even more.”
It is very disheartening that Kristina Bobbie Brown is still in the hospital as the third anniversary of her mother’s death approaches on February 11.
The Afrika Market and its media affiliates join millions of American and all lovers of life to pray and wish Bobbi Kristiana Brown quick recovery.
UPDATE: As for her condition, not much has changed since she was moved to Emory University Hospital, where she remains on life support. People magazine reported that the family may “try to wait and see [what happens],”
adding that Bobby Brown is “going to hold out as long as he possibly can.” On Friday, her father simply said “she’s good.” While her family has been by her side during her hospitalization, it hasn’t been easy for the family. Last week, two of Bobbi Kristina’s relatives allegedly broke out into a fight Friday morning at the W Midtown Atlanta hotel. However, her father has been frequently seen at the hospital as well as Whitney Houston’s mother, Cissy.
We wish the family well during this difficult time
