Wednesday Fast: Tarry for Gospel Power—$11,223 Left in $25K Match! America Fast Ends Tomorrow!
Thank you. Your fasting, your prayers, and your generosity have truly been a sacred offering before the Lord. We believe He has seen every act of surrender and heard every cry. As we continue to consecrate ourselves each Wednesday, we press on in faith and expectation!
Matching Gift Update & Urgent Prayer Points
We’re rejoicing—your giving has already helped us raise much of the $25,000 Matching Gift Challenge, with just $11,223 left to go! Every dollar given will still be doubled to advance the gospel to the next generation.
This is not just about numbers—it’s about souls. Right now, we are:
In the final stages of hiring a full-time revivalist for the Atlanta HS “Jesus Encounter” club, to reach hundreds of students with the gospel and launch a stronger, more consistent outreach beyond school hours through social media and personal discipleship.
Expanding gospel outreach in Montgomery, mobilizing college students to labor alongside Prince and Jada on school campuses.
Growing the Revival Zoom prayer covering, which continues to be the spiritual engine of this movement. Just last week, one of our prayer partners witnessed a miracle—his granddaughter’s left lung ventricle, previously undeveloped, was fully formed, shocking the doctors. Glory to God!
Calling in key laborers through nightly worship and word-saturated prayer—men and women saturated in Scripture and fire, hungry to reach this generation.
We believe a great harvest is now upon us (John 4)!
Pray Specifically For:
Javan, as he discerns a call to serve as the revivalist at Atlanta HS. We believe he would be a powerful harvester of souls.
The ATL and Montgomery outreaches to multiply with college students discipling teens.
Full provision of the remaining $11,223 Matching Gift, so every dollar can be doubled to reach more students with the gospel.
Final Day of the America Fast — Tomorrow, August 6
Tomorrow marks the end of our 40-Day Fast for America. Thank you for being part of this historic season of consecration, intercession, and kingdom sowing.
Let’s not let up now—let’s keep tarrying, believing for a fresh move of the gospel in our schools, our cities, and our nation!
Franklin Hall and the 1940s Fasting Revival
“Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.” — Acts 13:3
In the late 1940s, a little-known evangelist named Franklin Hall helped ignite a fasting revival that altered the course of American church history. His book, Atomic Power with God through Fasting and Prayer, became a catalyst for believers desperate to see God move.
Hall preached that extended fasting—especially 40-day fasts modeled after Jesus in Matthew 4—could release “atomic” spiritual power. He called it tarrying: waiting on God with hunger and holy expectation for breakthroughs in healing, deliverance, and gospel proclamation.
Miracles began to manifest—angelic visitations, supernatural healings, deep conviction. Hall’s influence reached revivalists like Oral Roberts and Tommy Hicks, setting the stage for the global Healing Revival and later the Charismatic Renewal.
Hall believed fasting didn’t earn power—it made us empty vessels ready to carry it.
Let’s Fast and Pray Tomorrow for the Gospel to Go Forth in Power
Just like in the 1940s, we need the gospel to go forth not just in word—but in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with deep conviction (1 Thessalonians 1:5).
As you fast tomorrow, please join us in praying for these specific gospel breakthroughs:
That the gospel would pierce the hearts of Gen Z and Gen Alpha (Romans 1:16)
That 120 youth would rise up in regular Zoom prayer for revival
That God would raise up full-time gospel laborers for schools, beginning with ATL High (Matthew 9:38)
That the Matching Gift Challenge would be fully met—for the sake of the harvest
Matching Gift Challenge — Final Stretch!
Every dollar given today will be matched up to $25,000, doubling your impact to advance the gospel through:
Weekly Zoom prayer calls
On-campus gospel outreaches
Training full-time revivalists for student ministry

We believe this fire won’t go out. Let’s finish the fast strong and believe for a generation-shaking gospel harvest!
“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly…” — Matthew 9:37–38
United for the harvest,
Joseph & The Crossroads Team
