A historic gathering of youth and their parents will occur
at the Washington, DC Capitol Mall, September 2, 2000.
The youth of America are facing their darkest hour. A whole generation is under unprecedented assault. Surveys show that 90 percent of people who give their lives to Christ, do so before the age of 30 -- yet 88 percent of America's teenagers are unchurched today. Of those who now belong to a church, four out of five will leave before they graduate from high school. This spiritual crisis, if not reversed, will leave us with only a shadow of the church within two decades.
Eighty-eight percent of America’s 30 million teenagers
are unchurched.
Yet the rumbles of revival can be heard, the distant sounds of a spiritual downpour that will bring a massive harvest. At a time when the voice of the church has been drowned out by the blare of talk shows and video games, the youth of this nation have been shaken to their core by the courage of young martyrs in places like Columbine and Wedgewood. There is a stirring in campuses and high schools. Young people are fasting, praying, evangelizing with a new passion. And now The Call has gone out - a summons to those who are desperate for revival and are willing to fast and pray to see God touch our nation.
"Declare a holy fast Call a sacred assembly,
bring together the elders, gather the Children."
Joel 2:15-18
The Call DC is a response to the summons in Joel 2:15-18, "Declare a holy fast Call a sacred assembly...bring together the elders, gather the children." A historic gathering of children, youth and their parents will occur at the Washington, DC Capitol Mall, September 2, 2000. Here, in the same place, a million men gathered three years ago to renew covenant - with their families and with God. But every generation must
renew the covenant for themselves and now is the time for the next generation to do so. Just as the fathers of America gathered, so too must their children.
The nation that has broken families and fatherless children is under a curse (Malachi 4:6). For revival to come, we need to see a profound reconciliation between parents and their children. One of The Call's main purposes is to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers.
Revival has always been with the young. And it will be so again. Our campuses and schools have been the birthplaces of revival before -- may it happen again! In this season of harvest, let us gather to commission our youth with a mandate for this millenium and commit ourselves to mentor and equip them. "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest therefore to send out workers into his harvest field." (Matthew 9:37-38)
On the eve of the first presidential elections of the twenty first century, it is significant that we will be assembling in our capital. At this solemn assembly, let us earnestly pray for our leaders and our government. "I urge, then, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings and all those in authority."
"And I will pour out my Spirit on all people...
and everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Nothing less than God's intervention can alter the course our nation is on. At every critical turning point in biblical history, the people gathered for a national, bi-generational fast. According to Joel 2, the call to fasting and prayer takes the highest priority, as the business of everyday life is forgotten and newlyweds abandon their honeymoon and nursing mothers bring their little babies to assemble before the Lord. This all-inclusive fast happens first. Then Heaven responds with an all-inclusive outpouring of the Holy Spirit and salvation. "And I will pour out my Spirit on all people.. and everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
America could be on the brink of true revival. Every historic revival was preceded by someone fasting and praying. History can be changed again, the only way it has always been changed: through united fasting and prayer. We cannot ignore the summons of this hour.
