The Call California

The Call was absolutely amazing! About 35 to 40 people from Jubilee went and several old friends were there too including Brad and Leyla, Kelvin, and Gerri Morris.

God was truly there 100% of the time. To me the most awesome thing in The Call this year was the unity it bought in the Body of Christ. I am seeing that because of the agressive advancement of the Gay Movement, the current economic crisis, and the increasing decadence of American society the church is becoming more desperate for God and, as a result, we are uniting. We realize that whatever the church is doing it is not good enough to transform America. As the new President of the Southern Baptist Convention stated, "WE NEED THE HOLY SPIRIT!"

So at The Call there was amazing unity. What was most notable was the presence of Dr. James Dobson, one of the greatest leaders in the Evangelical Movement in the world. Him and his wife spoke, led prayer, and fasted with us the entire day. Dr. Dobson said that for the first time in 15 years he had real hope that abortion could be overturned again in America. It was so amazing to see James Dobson, one of the most conservative leaders in America, hugging and praying with Mike Bickle and Lou Engle, two of the most Charismatic leaders in America. Also, Tony Perkins, another major evangelical spoke and led prayer. Furthermore, the Bishop of the Archdiocese of San Diego spoke and led prayer at The Call and there was a large representation of Catholics at the event. The Bishop publicly repented to God for "the idolatry that has so crippled us". Moreover, respected Asian leaders, Hispanic leaders, Native American leaders, and African American leaders led prayer. It was absolutely amazing!

We had really powerful times of worship. Almost all the worship was led by IHOP people. But actually the best worship was at the end and was led by our youth pastor Gabe Ahn and Kevin Peavey.

One of my favorite, if not my most favorite, part of The Call was the las 10 minutes of it. Lou Engle had Eddie Brown come and speak about radically preaching the Gospel and laying down our lives for God. The very last prayer prayed was for God to raise up martyrs for Him and to raise up itinerant preachers to preach the Gospel all over America and especially on the college campuses of our nation.

Lou Engle is now saying that the next Call they want to have would be in Sacramento. He feels like God is really honing in on California and for the next year he wants to battle for the salvation of California. I'm there baby! I'm there!
