The Call: In Sacramento

Today I went to a prayer meeting at the capitol of California, in Sacramento: The Call. There was a lot of praying. Tons, actually. There were thousands of people there sitting in lawn chairs or sprawled on picnic blankets. Children, adults and babies. I had a portable chair, myself. The praying was very loud and emotional, centering mostly around the need for God to have mercy on this country; to flee sexual immorality and all that kind of stuff.
It was the first prayer meeting that I've ever been to, besides a Billy Graham event that I attended years ago. The Call is targeted more for a younger audience--most of the people there were high school or college age. Still, that doesn't do anything to damper their message: America needs to turn back to God. There was some loud music and a lot of dancing and singing when I left. Think of it as a rock concert for Jesus. The Call was an interesting and realistic approach to solving a lot of our country's problems.
