Thousands Seek Revival in Kenya at Mass Prayer Gathering

Thousands of African prayer warriors gathered in the Kenyan capital Nairobi this past weekend to pray for a spiritual awakening in the city, state and all of Africa.

TheCall, a growing movement that seeks God's mercy and spiritual revival through prayer and fasting, held an 8-hour long mass prayer event on Saturday. It was the first time TheCall was held on the continent of Africa.

"Kenya stands at a critical juncture as its newspaper headlines expose the frailty of the nation's moral fabric," said TheCall founder Lou Engle, "but there is the promise of a great awakening on the horizon."

"It is always darkest before dawn, and the Church is set to enter its finest hour," he proclaimed. "When it seems like there is no hope, God still has a holy prescription: 'Blow the trumpet in Zion, declare a fast, call a sacred assembly!'"

GOD TV, which has been broadcasting TheCall events in the United States live, noted its excitement with streaming the gathering in Africa.

"We sense God's hand on TheCall Kenya and it's strategic timing," said Wendy Alec, GOD TV's director of television.

"It is only through prayer and fasting that we will see revival come to our nations and we encourage viewers to tune in and stand with the people of Kenya in prayer, and as they do, we believe the Lord will touch them wherever they live," she said.

TheCall Kenya takes place the same week as GOD TV opens its office in Nairobi.

Recently, TheCall revival events have been held in Washington, D.C. - where some 100,000 people attended - and in San Diego just ahead of the U.S. presidential election.

The first TheCall DC event attracted an attendance of over 400,000 young people at the National Mall. TheCall gatherings have also been held in various European countries, Australia, Canada, the Philippines, Indonesia, Israel and now in Africa.
