WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 /Christian Newswire/ -- The build up to one of America's biggest prayer events has begun as hundreds of thousands of believers prepare to travel to the nation's capital for TheCall, DC. Christians from all across America will be flying in, while others will travel by road as The Call mobilizes hundreds of buses to come from churches and youth groups from each state. Global Christian broadcaster, GOD TV is also finalizing its broadcast arrangements to air the mega event to millions of Christians across the globe.
GOD TV's exclusive LIVE broadcast of TheCall DC will commence at 10am (EST) on Saturday August 16 and will run for approximately 12 hours, directly from the National Mall in Washington, DC. DIRECTV viewers will be able to watch it on channel 365, Sky Angel IPTV viewers can watch on channel 138 and Internet viewers can watch LIVE at www.god.tv/stream or via video on demand at www.god.tv/god.
The Call founder, Lou Engle believes America is a nation in crisis, but that it is not too late for God to intervene if the Christians of America stand together in unity. "There are moments in history when a door for massive change opens. It is in these moments that key men and women risk everything to become the hinge of history. That pivotal point determines which way the door will swing. Join us in a massive gathering of united generations desperate for revival and real change in our nation."
This will be the 14th major gathering TheCall has held since it's first mass meeting in Washington, DC in 2000 with a crowd of over 400,000 people and organizers expect attendance to double this time round with one million people expected. TheCall gatherings have included TheCall Nashville, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, while hundreds of thousands of people have also attended TheCall gatherings in Australia, Germany, the Philippines, Norway, England, Jerusalem and Brazil. Many of these have also been aired exclusively on GOD TV.
GOD TV founders Rory and Wendy Alec are calling on Christians throughout the USA to support 'TheCall DC' by attending in person or by watching on television.
"GOD TV joins with The Call in trusting God for one million prayer warriors to gather in Washington, DC on August 16 to fast and pray for America," said the network's CEO, Rory Alec. "This is an extraordinary vision which requires the mass mobilization of the entire Body of Christ from coast to coast and I encourage every believer in the USA to make their way to Washington, DC and participate in this nation-transforming initiative."
"We have seen the Lord move mightily through the Florida Healing Outpouring" said Wendy Alec, who heads up programming at GOD TV, "and we believe God wants revival to break out all across America, but it will only happen as believers humble themselves and pray. The key to revival in America is constant corporate prayer and so we urge all our viewers to participate. And, if they can't attend in person, to please tune in to GOD TV on August 16 and play an active role in this very important LIVE broadcast."
TheCall does not publicize who will be on stage during the day, but the DC gathering is being supported by many different Christian leaders including Ron Luce, Mike Bickle, Tony Perkins, Mike Huckabee, Larry Stockstill and Bill McCartney, who are all featured speakers at a Pre-Call conference.
