From the Desk of James W. Goll

This past week in our worldwide PrayerStorm emphasis we recast the vision and purpose of our weekly intercessory mission. For the first time, we released the new PrayerStorm Video to inspire and equip you. If you did not check it out last week, watch it and pass it on to others!

The Global Prayer Movement is exactly that! It is global and very diverse. One of the ministries I have had the honor of walking with over the years has been TheCall chaired by fire-breathing Lou Engle. A year ago at this time, I served as the chair to TheCall Nashville on 7/7/07. It was awesome indeed.

I had prophesied to Lou Engle years ago that TheCall would lie dormant for three years and then in a time of need in this nation (and the world), TheCall would be raised from the dead for an hour of crisis intervention. This word has ended up being literally fulfilled as TheCall Nashville was birthed after a three-year pause! But now TheCall is going national and international and cannot be stopped! Much of this prophetic history is captured in the MP3 message The Greatest Youth Awakening.

In this week’s PrayerStorm thrust, we are going to pray for the various national and international Call events. I will be at TheCall DC on August 16, 2008 as we pray for a shift within the U.S.A. Click here to view a promo video for TheCall DC. I hope to see many of you there!

Blessings to you and thanks for joining our growing ranks!

About TheCall

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.

History of TheCall

In 1997 our nation witnessed one of the largest Christian gatherings in American history. The Promise Keepers, a ministry specifically focused on igniting men with a passion for Jesus, gathered a million men on the National Mall in Washington DC to call men across our nation to a lifestyle of purity and godliness. Deeply impacted by this highly profound event and burdened with a God-given dream, a vision was fashioned within the heart of man named Lou Engle to raise up a corresponding youth movement to cry out to God for a revival to sweep across our nation.

Two years after the inception of this dream, a woman approached Lou Engle and asked if he had ever considered putting young people on the Mall like the Promise Keepers did in 1997. Taken back and amazed, Lou replied that two years prior he had been burdened with a dream to see the youth of our nation gathering at the National Mall, and confessed he actually prophesied this coming gathering would be a sign from God that there was still hope for our nation. The women promptly wrote a check for $100,000, setting into action a whole chain of supernatural events that would eventually result in the TheCall DC on September 2nd, 2000. God’s blessing was clearly manifest throughout the day as the presence of the Holy Spirit infused the prayer, worship and intermittent words of encouragement from our nations greatest spiritual leaders. The result of one mans obedience to the God given dream was an attendance of over 400,000 young people.

After this TheCall DC in September 2000, TheCall was exported across the nation to twelve different locations, each one gathering thousands of people hungry for a movement of God. Rather than elevating man’s good ideas, these massive gatherings were spent in cooperate fasting, praying, and worshiping before God. Specific regional issues were confronted in each gathering in the place of prayer. In each Call, issues such racism, sexual immorality and abortion were brought into light and repented for corporately by the body of Christ. In New York, Dallas, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Nashville, and Kansas City, a movement of prayer and fasting has filled stadiums with the sounds of worship and the incense of prayer. This divine movement of repentance has extended beyond the narrow boarders of America as theCall has traveled to Australia, Germany, the Philippines, Norway, England and Israel.

Today TheCall is marching across our land to Washington D.C. to gather together for a historic gathering on August 16, 2008. We believe that our nation is in a critical hour and in desperate need of revival. While our societies moral compass continues to erode the faith of our nation is becoming increasingly secularized. The world in its rebellion violently pursues the fulfillment of all fleshly desires yet the church has fallen prey to many of the same sins that plague our society. Even within the church truth has been substituted for spiritual relativism and religious tolerance. Sexual immorality, racism, and abortion are just as prevalent from our pews and pulpits as it is in our secular universities. We are in an hour of crisis, an hour when we have to confront our own spiritual barrenness as the church and in the place of prayer cry out to God for mercy on our nation and revival in our land. Our hope in this hour is in God and God alone. On August 16, 2008 we are calling for 1,000,000 people to again gather together in the National Mall to fast and to pray for God to pour out His undeserved mercy on our land.

Upcoming Gatherings

On Labor Day weekend in September 2000, over 400,000 people gathered to the National Mall in Washington, DC. They came not to the sound of a music festival or to hear the biggest names in Christendom, but they came to the sound of Joel 2: "Blow the trumpet in Zion! Consecrate a fast! Call a sacred assembly." This gathering was known as TheCall DC.

After TheCall DC between 2000 and 2003, TheCall mobilized hundreds of thousands of believers from all across the nations to gather in culture-influencing cities across America for TheCall Boston, TheCall New York City, TheCall San Francisco, and others to seek God in prayer and fasting.

Now, after four years of dormancy, TheCall is on the march again back to the National Mall in Washington, DC already having gathered tens of thousands to LP Field in Nashville on 07.07.07. In the next year, TheCall will gather people to different cities around the nation and then converge again in Washington, DC in summer of 2008 for TheCall DC II, where young and old alike will gather to fast, pray and ask God for a historic visitation of epic proportions.

Please intercede for these upcoming gatherings of TheCall all over the world!
