Thank all of you for praying for the team that joined Sandy and me last week in Washington DC.
We started each day at 9:00 with worship led by Trevor Davis, followed by a daily devotion by one of the five pastors who were with us. Each night we joined together at 7:00 in worship and a devotion by Pastor George Small on the history of American revivals. Then we sat in circles of five to six praying for America.
During the day, we divided into three teams. Each team leader led a team praying for an hour through each of the monuments and memorials in the National Mall—Lincoln Memorial, Reflection Pool, Washington Monument, Vietnam Memorial, WWII and Korean Memorial, the White House and Jefferson Memorial. Then we had the blessing of having three members of Speaker Mike Johnson’s staff visiting and praying in the key areas in the Capitol, who gave us a tour. The lead guide was a man I had dedicated as an infant in my arms one Sunday morning at Horizon many years ago. What a blessing to see him after all these years a servant of God.
Lastly, all three teams congregated and prayed at the steps on the Supreme Court.
DC24 last week was a time of being led by the Holy Spirit as we were able to pray for the nation and the election. More importantly, we were able to pray with the people in the city. We prayed for hotel employees, Uber and cab drivers, restaurant waiters, employees of the city, and the U.S. Capitol interns. One of the Interns, Jayden, just couldn’t thank us enough for praying for him and his family.
