Vision

A Day of Prayer and Fasting

ERADICATE COVID-19

The Mayor of Dallas has proclaimed a Day of Prayer and Fasting on August 19, 2020 for the eradication of the Coronavirus Plague from Dallas.

It began with a dream and vision given to home improvement contractor Tom Altemus. He saw the scripture of Joshua 8:19 applied to modern day Dallas, where those awaiting the signal from God would take the city and light revival fires. The signal was the Day of Payer and Fasting to eradicate Coronavirus on the date corresponding to the scripture, 8/19. Let us pray that our Churches seize the opportunity to unite to bring healing and transformation to our city.

August 19 is also an important day on the Sacred Jewish Calendar. With the new moon of August 19 begins the 40 day Jewish season of humble repentance known as Teshuvah. The name Teshuvah literally means the return to the presence of God. It is a time to remember God’s promise to heal the land: “If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

The Mayor’s Proclamation designated August 19, 2020 as “Pray Dallas Day” and encourages prayer and fasting to eradicate coronavirus as follows: 

  1. Residents of Dallas are encouraged to pray in place, whether at home, at work, or at school, at the noon hour on August 19,2020; and

  2. Houses of Faith are encouraged come together and to ask their people to pray wherever they are at noon on August 19, 2020; and

  3. All are encouraged to unite in prayer to eradicate the coronavirus and heal our City; and

Pray Dallas also asks people to humble themselves before God and to rededicate ourselves to bringing healing to the sick, comfort to the broken hearted, help to the needy, wisdom to our children, hope to the hopeless, and unity to the city of Dallas.

We invite you to join with Believers of all traditions in prayer for the eradication of the Coronavirus plague on August 19, 2020.  

We believe that this Joshua 8:19 word is not just for Dallas, but is available to other cities, states, and countries willing to humble themselves, repent, and ask God to heal their land.

We ask that you spread the word about the Day of Prayer and Fasting to civic leaders, church leaders, and business leaders. 

Together we can see the healing of our land.
