National Day of Prayer and Repentance in Washington D.C. on Jan. 31

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – Evangelical leaders, legislators, and intercessors will gather in Washington D.C. on January 31 for the “National Gathering for Prayer and Repentance,” which organizers called for “pray prayers of serious repentance” for America.

The National Gathering for Prayer and Repentance is scheduled at the Museum of the Bible and will be broadcast live online on January 31st, from 7:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time until 1 p.m.

The National Gathering for Prayer and Repentance website details that these leaders will offer “pray prayers of serious repentance for (1) personal transgressions, (2) sins within the church, and (3) the sins of America, before praying for the Nations.”

“The prayers are about repentance. For personal sins. For sin in the church. For America’s sins. We focus on the vertical, that is, God. We don’t applaud for people. We only applaud for God…at the end. We don’t have speeches or sermons, except designated persons to call us to serious repentance. We don’t even introduce people,” Dr. Jim Garlow, one of the co-founders of the event, told CBN News.

“The spotlight is on God. People lead in prayer. To Him. For one minute. Sincere heartfelt prayer. Intense prayer. As if the nation depends on it. Because it does,” Garlow said.

At the event, a lineup of speakers, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, and Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, will be featured.
