Today’s conversation began with Ann Limjoco joining us in the WCNO studio to tell us about her experience at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on May 17th — the day declared “Rededicate 250” to honor America’s upcoming 250th birthday with a national prayer meeting. There may have been in excess of 50,000 people in attendance.
Ann hadn’t planned on going because of the cost, but a friend asked her along so she wouldn’t be alone, and Ann was able to go through that blessing. The highlight of her experience was hearing Lou Engle and Dutch Sheets, who called everyone to their knees to repent individually and then for the nation. Ann describes it as “historic” — something set in the spirit. She never lost hope for this nation, but on this day that hope was reaffirmed; believers came from all over the world, and being there was a real sacrifice — it was hot, food was scarce, and the day was long.
Chris Fogal joined the conversation having just returned from Washington, D.C., where he joined 500 rabbis and pastors to proclaim support for Israel and to reject replacement theology. The unity we share with our brothers and sisters in Israel is important. The conversation continued with Jonathan, Ann, Chris, Karen, and David all joining in. As Karen put it, the President gave the Church a chance to sit at the table — now it’s up to the Church to show forth the love of Jesus.
Chris also spoke of the TCCA’s recent National Day of Prayer event on May 7. TCCA brings leaders in the civic, business, and church community together several times a year, strengthening the bonds across the Treasure Coast. The Treasure Coast Day of Prayer will be held September 24th — falling between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur — and a new New Year’s Eve event is being planned with young leaders to lead the next generation in prayer and worship.
