The Call

It was truly an incredible experience to be a part of The Call on Sat. August 16. We stood alongside 70,000 other believers to fast and pray for twelve hours for God to end abortion and send revival to America. I was expecting this gathering to look more like a festival, considering there was live music and jumbotrons. But to my surprise, it was truly a day of self-sacrifice, laying down our comfort to seek the heart of God. My friends, Jason and CJ from Ohio were with me, but it was clear that they didn't just come to see me. They came to hear from God and move the heart of heaven. The heart behind The Call is this: When a nation is in crisis (as ours is in its allowance of abortion), the only hope and response we have is to appeal to God together, through prayer and fasting. As one body, we sought the heart of God, asking for his mercy on our nation. We spent a significant amount of time repenting and praying for God to move in different areas of our lives, including the friends, families, and churches were had relationships with. It brought joy to my heart just to think of how many people were being restored to God and being freed from all sorts of sin and bondage on this one day. The message was clear. We absolutely need God to move. Let's continue on in the spirit of The Call together, laying down our lives and our rights for the sake of seeing his Kingdom come as one body! Jesus, I plead your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God, end abortion and send revival to America.

We're here!

After much anticipation, we are finally in Washington D.C., and we couldn’t be more excited. We moved in on Tuesday, Aug. 5, and from the very beginning, God has been powerfully shaking our lives, transforming our hearts and our minds. We are a part of missionary team that was originally a mobile missions team. About two and a half years ago, God gave them a very specific calling: to pray in Washington D.C. for the ending of abortion and for revival in America. And WOW are they a dedicated, diligent bunch. They have been here ever since that time, faithfully believing that God’s desire will come to pass. They have the love of a family and welcomed us into their team, treating us as valuable and called of God from the moment we arrived. We are learning so much from them and from God about what it means to be intercessors on behalf of a nation. Please pray that God would continue to reveal His heart to us and lead us in how we should pray. We want to pray from a place of intimacy with God, sharing in His joys and His sufferings. “Lord, restore us to Yourself, so we may return; renew our days as in former times” (Lamentations 5:21).
