July 11th Update from Nate

"For such a time as this" I'm in awe at the timing at which God chose to send me back to DC. I really believe that I'm called here to DC for "such a time as this!" It is no secret that many Americans are feeling as though things are out of control. And that is even more evident in Washington DC. As I've ministered in Downtown DC near the White House, I've seen countless protesters wanting several things, including the death of white people and the impeachment of our President. In addition to all of the protests in relation to George Floyd's death, there is also the concern of Covid-19. We need a Savior! Yet in the midst of all of that perceived chaos, there is a place on The National Mall where prayer and worship are ascending to God 24/7!!! That place is called David's Tent DC and I get the privilege of working with that ministry. While the music may pause from time to time because of a lack of singers and musicians, the prayer certainly continues and in that way we are still going 24/7. That gives me such hope! Just like Psalm 121:1-2 (ESV) says: “I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” In the midst of so much chaos, we're able to come together as the church in our National Capitol and say, "God we look to You! We trust You! Come and help us! We need You God!" We believe that as we pray God is working in the US. Jesus reminds us that we can pray with confidence because God is better than even the best earthly father. “If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!” (Matthew 7:11, ESV) I hope you're encouraged by that fact that day and night, 24/7/365 there is prayer and worship going up from our National Capitol. Surely God will move in our nation because we pray! And I get to be a part of this ministry because of your prayers and financial support. Thank you very much!!!

We're open to the public, as of July 4th!! Ever since April 1st, David's Tent DC has been closed to the public. We've only been allowed to have 3 staff members at the tent. It has been a little awkward trying to switch shifts while at the tent! It has also been painful knowing that many people were unable to come to David's Tent whenever they wanted because of the lockdown in place from the National Park Service (NPS) due to Covid-19. However, we have now reopened to the public! I'm so thankful for that reality!!! I also believe that it is significant timing from God that July 4th would be the first day that we reopened to the public. On July 4th, as a country, we celebrate the birth of a "new thing" (our country)! In the same way, we are celebrating the "rebirth" of David's Tent as it becomes open to the public once again!!! How cool is that?!? I'm overflowing with joy at the thought of all the people that are going to be able to come to David's Tent and meet with God in a personal and powerful way. Yay!

Coming September 21st... A part of our response to The Lord in "such a time as this" is to call young adults in the US to come to DC for 45 days prayers of concentrated prayer during this critical hour. The dates will be September 21st- November 5th. While we're still praying through many of the details of this, this prayer intensive will include: A call to young adults specifically to join us in prayer in our National Capitol Teaching on prayer, worship and intercession, among many other topics Leaders in the Family of God to come and teach the next generation Please communicate this to anyone and everyone (specifically young adults) that has the heart to seek The Lord in our Capitol this fall!

We need more staff! Hosting 24/7 prayer and worship in our Capitol is no small task. We're constantly contending for breakthrough in our Capitol while the enemies of God put pressure on us to quit constantly. We would so appreciate a fresh influx of staff that have hearts after God!!! Jesus said to pray for laborers to be sent into the harvest field (Luke 10:2). Please pray to The Lord of the Harvest to send us more help! We're looking for those that want to live wholeheartedly for Jesus. If you or anyone else is interested in joining David's Tent DC on staff for any amount of time (at least 2 weeks) please email us at: volunteer@davidstentdc.org Thanks for your help!

Prayer requests: Because of where I am and what I'm a part of, I really need prayer support! Please join me in faith-filled prayer for these things: -wisdom and guidance to partner with God for His plans and purpose this fall, specifically in our 45-day prayer intensive. -More laborers to join staff, specifically more singers and musicians -I'm believing God for $2,000/month from financial partners Thank you very much for your continued support!!! P.S. If you are interested in partnering with me financially, please let me know and I will send you all of the information needed!
