LAS VEGAS, Oct. 18 /Christian Newswire/ -- Known as 'Sin City', Las Vegas has become a global attraction for gambling, sexual immorality and materialism and TheCall seeks to make a stand for righteousness. Hosted by TheCall founder, Lou Engle, the LIVE broadcast on GOD TV will last 12 hours, featuring passionate worship, and taking a powerful message of repentance to TV screens across the world.
"People have been flocking to this citadel of ungodliness for many decades, said Lou Engle, "but we are now calling Las Vegas back to God and are expecting 20,000 believers to gather at the Thomas & Mack Center this weekend to fast and pray for this city. Even when it seems like all hope is lost, God still has a holy prescription. It can be found in Joel 2:15, 'Blow the trumpet in Zion! Consecrate a fast! Call a sacred assembly and let us turn to Him with all our hearts'.
"TheCall Las Vegas will minister deeply to all who love God with all their heart and are seeking Him for spiritual breakthrough. It is not a time for entertainment, but several hours of repentance, worship and intercession and I believe God's glory will be poured out. The speakers are not celebrities, and the singers are not entertainers, rather they are true servants of God and viewers will be mightily strengthened in their Christian walk as we look to see revival as found in the Book of Acts."
Previously on GOD TV, TheCall gatherings have received an overwhelming response with about 200 registrations from online viewers per minute during the broadcast from Nashville and Las Vegas looks set to be equally well supported. GOD TV will also be airing other broadcasts of The Call over the next year including, Kansas City in December 2007; Florida in February 2008 and Jerusalem in May 2008 - culminating in a second Washington, DC gathering in August 2008. TheCall Jerusalem will take place on May 11, 2008, during GOD TV's 60th Anniversary Israel Tour, as part of the Global Day of Prayer, and will focus on praying for the fullness of the Holy Spirit to be poured out on all the people of the Middle East.
"GOD TV is privileged to extend the reach of this strategic end-time call to the nations," said GOD TV co-founder, Wendy Alec. "It is only through prayer and fasting that we will see revival come to the USA and the nations and I encourage viewers to tune in for this mammoth broadcast focusing on prayer and fasting for a visitation of God to come to America and the world. This weekend is a time for people everywhere to come together via the power of global television to consecrate themselves and cry out to the Lord for the people of this fallen city to come to salvation and to see spiritual breakthrough come into their own lives and communities."
