PreCall Rally
As many of you know this August 16th, Lou Engle and the whole Call team will be having The Call DC. They are expecting over a half million believers to invade the mall in DC on the 16th. To make people aware of this huge event some of The Call staffers are headed around the US to visit many churches to inform them about it.
One of these rallies were held about an hour and 15 minutes from us at a church. The Call staffers called our Missions Base this past week and asked if a team from our House of Prayer would come and help with worship. So, Lisa got a team of us together and along with a few from the churches team we played for praise and worship for this PreCall rally. I was honored to be part of the worship team. It was fun being part of an event like this. It was wonderful to see so many different churches all coming together to help support this event.
Here is a little bio on the founder of The Call - Lou Engle
Lou Engle - Founder, TheCall & the Justice House of PrayerLou Engle is the visionary and co-founder of TheCall solemn assemblies, a movement of prayer gathering young adults to pray and fast for breakthrough and revival. TheCall began in Washington, DC in 2000 gathering over 400,000 people to pray and fast for the United States. Since 2000, The Call has gathered hundreds of thousands people to pray both national and internationally. After a few years of dormancy, TheCall has been revived beginning in Nashville on 07.07.07 and is on the march again to DC for TheCall DC on August 16, 2008.Lou Engle's heart passion is to call young adults into a lifestyle of radical prayer, fasting, and holiness. And to that end, while praying for revival in the United States for over 30 years, in 2004, Lou planted the first Justice House of Prayer in Washington, DC to contend with the injustice of abortion and to pray for righteous leaders to be raised up in America. Since 2004, JHOPs have emerged in San Francisco, Boston, New York, and San Diego.Lou and his wife, Therese, have been married for over 20 years and together they have five sons and two daughters.
One of his staffers came and did the PreCall Rally for us last night. It was a great evening as he shared the excitement of what is to come this summer.
About The Call:
TheCall is a divinely initiated multi-racial, multi-generational, and cross-denominational gathering to cooperate prayer and fasting. Believing that our nation is in desperate need of the mercy of God and a great Spiritual Awakening,
TheCall mobilizes people from all across America to gather together to humbly petition Almighty God for undeserved mercy for our nation. Just as in the days of Joel, we believe that now is the time to blow the trumpet across our land, to fast, to pray, and return to the Lord with all our hearts.
In the midst of an “entertainment” driven society, TheCall does not seek to entertain. Unlike other mass gatherings which attract people through the rhythms of loud music, the glamour of flashing lights, or through the appeal of charismatic personalities, TheCall is a gathering centered around the affections of a loving God who desires to pour out His Spirit on a dry and thirsty land. There will be no advertised bands and no promoted speakers.
This gathering isn’t about promoting any man or any ministry rather it is about bowing low before a merciful God and in the place of worship and prayer ministering before the Lord as priests. For the 12 hours of TheCall there will only be a corporate people with a unitary voice crying out to a loving God who desires to show mercy.
TheCall is a fast NOT a festival. TheCall is a solemn assembly NOT a conference. Whereas conferences focus primarily on training and discipleship, the 12 hours of TheCall are spent primarily before the Lord in the place of prayer and worship. Likewise TheCall is not a festival; We believe the hour is late and the times urgent.
Our nation is in desperate need of revival and it will be only through the corporate body of Christ uniting together in the place of prayer that we will find any hope in this hour. We believe we can see our nation changed through the hands of our loving God as He pours out His Spirit and brings refreshing to the broken, destitute, and the weary across our land.
