NASHVILLE, July 9 /Christian Newswire/ -- Over 100,000 young people came from all over the nation to Nashville, Tennessee on 07-07-07 to pray and seek God for revival. The event, sponsored by The Call, focused on prayer and repentance for the sins of the nation.

"We've seen 40 million abortions in America, and I ask for forgiveness," said Kansas Senator and presidential hopeful Sam Brownback, who addressed the packed stadium, home to the Tennessee Titans football team.

Some of those who attended the prayer event are headed west to San Francisco, California, making stops along the way that include Wichita, Kansas, home of the notorious late-term abortionist George R. Tiller. Sensing that God's Holy Spirit is moving, pro-life leaders from around the nation will join The Cause USA in Wichita on July 14-16 for the Wichita Awakening to pray for an end to abortion and seek revival.

Those leaders include Wendy Wright, President of Concerned Women For America, Rev. Rob Schenk, Director of the National Clergy Council, Eric Wittington, National Director of Rock for Life, and Rev. Pat Mahoney, Director of the Christian Defense Coalition in Washington, DC and member of the original Operation Rescue leadership team during the historic 1991 Summer of Mercy.

"As long as innocent blood continues to be shed in our nation, we cannot expect God's blessing," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "We need to seek God in serious prayer and repentance if we expect our nation to turn around. What better place to pray for an end to abortion than in Wichita, the nation's late-term abortion capital."
