Organizers of “Awaken the Dawn” are preparing for tens of thousands of Christians to descend on the nation’s capital next Friday for a weekend of praise and prayer up and down the National Mall.
The worshippers will take advantage of 57 tents strategically placed on the public land stretching from Capitol Hill to the Lincoln Memorial.
The National Mall has witnessed all kinds of protests and gatherings over the course of the nation’s history but “Awaken the Dawn” is simply aimed at worshipping Jesus Christ around the clock from Friday, Oct. 6th to Monday, Oct. 9th.
Organizer David Bradshaw told CBN News, “We want to call America back to Christ.”
“Our prayer really is that a whole generation, young and old, in America, would have a fresh encounter with Jesus’ person,” he explained.
Bradshaw and his friend Lou Engle who runs “The Call” events envisioned “Awaken the Dawn” after receiving prophecies for years that they’d be involved in a national gathering on the Mall.
