The Call in Washington, DC – A Call to Fast and Pray
There is a powerful move about to take place in the United State’s national capital of Washington, DC known as The Call. On August 16, 2008, under the leadership of Lou Engle, tens of thousands of men, women and youth will gather on the Capital Mall grounds to enter into collective prayer and fasting. You can read more about this move by clicking on this link: The Call
The following text is from The Call website:
TheCall is a divinely initiated, multi-racial, multi-generational, and cross-denominational gathering to corporate prayer and fasting. We believe that our nation is in desperate need of the mercy of God and a great Spiritual Awakening. TheCall is committed to mobilizing people from all across America to gather together to petition God for His undeserved mercy for our nation in 12-hour solemn assemblies. 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, but to encounter God. 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. There will be no advertised bands and no promoted speakers, as our purpose is not to promote any man or ministry.
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. We believe the hour is late and the times are urgent. Our nation is in desperate need of revival and it will be only through the corporate body of Christ uniting in the place of prayer that we will find any hope in this hour. We believe we can see our nation changed as the Lord pours out His Spirit and brings refreshing to the broken, destitute, and the weary across our land.
I encourage you to look at The Call site to learn more about this assembly. Consider joining the gathering, or supporting it with your own prayer and fasting.
I will post more abou this event in the coming weeks.

Hi Bob,
I too watched the Call and prayed and fasted for the same 12-hour period. I am not sure, but you might be able to watch it on God TV or from The Call site. It would be a huge download since it was 12 hours long, so hopefully you can just watch it from the computer.
God TV’s site is http://www.God.tv and the Call’s site is http://www.TheCall.com
Be blessed!
hi,
I watched the Call 2008 at my church in South America it was
truly amazing. I told some friends about it the next day.
Now they would like to hear it or see it and I would not mind seeing or hearing again myself. Is there anyway I can download it. I do not have a credit card so I can’t buy it sorry. Please respond back to me.
I very much appreciate your time and consideration.
Thank the Lord for the call 2008
shalom,, repent is number 1, then repent for or stand on G-d chosen people, the body of Messiah must stop liaring about the thins that have been preach in the name of Messiah, proclaim the truth, the Torah is G-d’s word, the covent is full action today, take the cry to america to proclaim the truth in Messiah, I cant say enough, preach the Cross and that will wash us clean.
It’s my pray that on that day of call of prayer, millions of none believers will come to know Jesus as they Lord!
