The Call in Washington DC

[Nicks Girl]

I'm curious about how it all works. My Husband and I are going, but I'm feeling uneasy about leaving our 4 month old Daughter overnight with my mom. Just trying to figure out if it's feasible to take her with us, or if she's better off at home. Is there places to sit? Is it hugely loud? I'm just not sure what to do. I desperately want to go with my husband to DC, but I'm torn about leaving our baby.

Hey -

The Call is an outdoor event. You will be on the grounds of the DC Mall.

For sitting, you need to bring your own seat - whether it be picnic blanket or fold-up chair (those are usually the best things to bring).

Loudness is variable. If you are sensitive to sound, all you need to do is pick a place farther from the speakers, which are scattered throughout. It's very easy to move and plant yourself farther away from the speakers if things are too loud.

So taking the baby would depend on how well you think she would handle being outside in a crowd of people all day, and how comfortable you would be taking her to such an event.

Granted, if crowds are a problem, you can always hang out by the fringes - either back or to the sides.

For bathrooms, they have portable latrines set up at various places. I don't think there are changing tables, though. Now, you could go into one of the Smithsonian museums, but you have to go through a security check each time you go in.

Hope that helps.

Thank you! That answers alot of questions!

I don't know if there's anyone from my particular church congregation that's going to attend the "big meeting" in DC.

What we're planning on doing is to have our own time of fasting and prayer this coming Saturday morning at our own facilities.

Meeting in DC is great, but if you can't make it there, you can still pray where ever you are. Maybe with some of your brothers and sisters in Christ where you happen to live....Maybe with just you and your family.....Or maybe just you alone with God.

The important thing is that we all need to be much in prayer for the many and various situations that we are facing in this day and time.

And not only that, but I definitely believe we as God's people everywhere need to follow the formula prescribed in !! Chronicles 7:14 (humble ourselves, pray, seek God's face & turn from our wicked ways) if we expect God to intervene on behalf of our country.

(And I'm not just talking about the United States either! I think that the II Chronicles 7:14 formula can apply to any country in which God's people are found!!)

Two birds with one stone ?

About an hour or so ago about a dozen of God's children gathered together to meet on my local church's property with our Heavenly Father in prayer for future of our country and its leaders.

Although it may not have been the largest meeting to gather at that time, I honestly believe that, through Christ Jesus our Lord and the Holy Spirit, we too had the wonderful privilege of touching the Throne of Grace.

I thank God for the many that met in Washington DC to do in much greater numbers what we also were doing! I also thank God for others of His children who may have met in other places to likewise commune with Him and intercede for this nation's future!

To any of you who may have participated in whatever form and wherever you may have met, may God be pleased to honor the prayers and petitions that were offered in behalf of America by His children!

I've been watching/listening to The Call on GodTV on-line all day.

Awesome - it truly has been a day of fasting, prayer, intercession, worship. Any preaching and teaching has been to lead into prayer and intercession.

Few people have been introduced - for instance, there's been a steady stream of worship leaders throughout the day, one being Michael W. Smith, and in each case they just step up and start worshiping...if I hadn't recognized his voice I would not have known who it was! The only ones introduced were key figures for prayer (i.e. a Native American, the woman who was "Jane Roe" in Roe v. Wade).

Intercessions were brought for the Youth, for Israel, for the Native Americans, for the African Americans, against abortion (a long, long time was spent on this - prophecies, prayers, calls for ways to get involved - i.e. http://www.bound4life.com - a time of silent prayer with "LIFE" tape over their mouths, etc.), against homosexuality, interceding for California, right now they an Hispanic worship leader is leading worship.

One thing they have been encouraging continually is for the people there to not stop praying and interceding - fast for 40 days for this nation, fast Friday lunch, fast TV and other entertainment, be the generation that seeks God's face as their number one passion.

It's great!

Amen! I have been watching Lou Engle a lot lately on God.tv. He is an amazing man, a prophet of god! His faith buoys my own! I am not american, but I am praying about this event today! I know that God is doing something great in the hearts of His own and is about to do an amazing thing in the hearts of the wicked.

Intercession is an integral part of our walk with Christ in these days.
