In 2024, a gathering of believers with prophetic spiritual gifts – led by revivalist Lou Engle who co-founded of TheCall solemn assemblies – inspired women to prepare for a historic prayer meeting on the National Mall later that year. Eight months later on Oct. 12, the biblical Day of Atonement, 350,000 women convened in Washington, D.C. for a first of its kind worship service.
That powerful day included communion – a remembrance of the shed blood and broken body of Jesus Christ. Now there are plans for another massive communion moment in 2025 as well.
With a theme from Isaiah 22:22 – “The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder; So he shall open, and no one shall shut; And he shall shut, and no one shall open” – a new plan has been unveiled for two miles of tables from the Capitol building to the Lincoln Memorial for what may be the largest communion celebration in the history of the nation on Oct. 12, 2025.

“We believe America is being brought to the table of the Lord,” Engle announced after three days of biblical instruction, worship, prayer and prophecy at the 222 Conference in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where leaders and people from across the nation gathered on Feb. 20-22.
Engle is calling it the Great Communion Revival – a meeting place for forgiveness and healing.
“I just think the Lord is bringing us to the table where all pain, division and accusation is a test. It’s where Jesus forgave 12 men who would all betray Him. He didn’t even ask them to repent there. It was from the cross Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.’ Jesus is bringing a message to the church: Forgiveness breaks the demonic powers,” Engle said at 222 – a code for the “now” assignment of the Lord.
David Bradshaw is a spiritual son of Engle and the founder of a prayer and worship movement that drew 50,000 people and four million online in 2017. He said the idea for a communion table the length of The National Mall was inspired by spiritual and prophetic dreams among people, including Bradshaw’s wife, who have consistently prayed for an end to abortion and for integrity in our nation’s elections.
“The presence of Jesus manifested in our nation’s capital, the gospel, and the blood of the Lamb are the only hopes for our nation,” said Bradshaw, who founded the Awaken The Dawn prayer and worship movement and authored a book with that name as well.
Bradshaw partnered with TheCall RISE UP and Engle to bring 1,700 worship teams, thousands of musicians, and 58 tents to The Mall for three days. He envisions thousands of Gen Z and Alpha believers, along with worshippers, musicians and singers from all generations, focused on Jesus for three days, culminating with a celebration of the Lord’s Supper on Oct. 12.
“If it weren’t for Lou (Engle) in my life, I don’t know if I would have had the courage to sign that permit application which, by the way, is pending for the whole National Mall,” said Bradshaw.
He, like Engle, believes that during a national time of accusation and division, the Lord is saying, “I’ve greatly desired to have this meal with you,” based on Luke 22:15.
“I wonder if right now we need a John 17 movement unto the outpouring of the Holy Spirit,” Bradshaw said.
Matt Lockett, another prayer leader who spoke at the 222 Conference, shared with Bradshaw a prophetic dream in which the National Mall was filled with tables just like those envisioned for Communion America.
“The life prayer we continue to pray, ‘Jesus, we plead your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God, end abortion and send revival to America‘ was partially answered when Roe v. Wade was overturned. It’s time for the revival in America by the blood of Jesus with mass salvations and healings,” said Bradshaw.
His wife had a dream a couple of weeks ago in which a friend and prayer leader, Jonathan Tremaine Thomas, walked into a gathering and, instead of speaking, Thomas started singing a song from the movie Prince of Egypt.
“It says, ‘There will be miracles if you believe.’ As he’s singing it, my wife starts travailing uncontrollably in this dream,” said Bradshaw.
He believes there might be a healing revival in the midst of communion. “I feel like we need to say, ‘If you’re sick, have terminal disease come to the table.'”
