This year Tent America 2020 is a 100-Day procession of night and day worship and prayer taking place June 20th-September 28th. 10 regions will each cover 10 days during the 100 days. Covid-19 has cancelled a lot, but Tent America 2020 is still on! Tent America events are asked to abide by state and local regulations in regard to Covid-19. But this year we are allowing participation from homes, churches, and other locations. Whether in tents, living rooms with our families, in church buildings, or virtually online, we will be worshipping and praying over the nation.
North Carolina is in Region 8 and our timeframe is August 19-29. Last year we had a tent in Hickory and we worshipped and prayed for 50 hours. This year our "tent" stretches across the region, both in Catawba County and the surrounding counties. We are still looking for ministries and churches and worshippers who will partner with us to host and staff hours of continuous worship and prayer focused on loving Jesus and asking God for spiritual awakening during those 10 days.
Even if you can only fit an hour in, join us to blanket North Carolina and the United States in worship and prayer. https://awakenthedawn.com/tent-america/
For more information feel free to contact: Nathan Richardson (nathanr@theburn247.com)
If you want to join us keep these focus in mind for your prayer and worship, and only agree to lead if you are in agreement with this focus:
First and foremost, we are a first love movement. We have the very specific focus of loving on Jesus. We worship Him because He is worthy. Period. We are not protesting anything, or promoting any social or political viewpoint. We are simply seeking to give Jesus the love and honor that He is due.
Secondly, we are asking for a spiritual awakening in our cities, our state and our nation. We are meeting to humble ourselves, pray, seek His face, repent and ask God to heal our land. (1 Chron 7:14) Our weapons are prayer and worship. As we lift Jesus high in worship, He comes in to fight the battle. (2 Chron 20)
See our schedule below in the Google link, and come to one of the events, or jump online to worship or lead worship for one hour or several throughout the 10 days.
(If leading virtually, let us know by filling in a Calendly schedule when you might be able to fill in and what webpage or Facebook live platform you are going to stream from.)

What Is A Typical Burn Event Like?Non-stop live worship: Teams of worshippers, musicians, artists and intercessors fill 1 or 2 hour time slots to worship, pray and create. Vertical Worship: The purpose of the Burn is to minister to the Lord and create an atmosphere for encounter. Typically, the worship leader doesn’t engage those in attendance as a normal corporate setting. You will often experience worshippers journaling, studying, praying, painting as well as singing along with the worship teams. Spontaneous/Prophetic: Much of the worship will be creative, spontaneous and prophetic songs and melodies (Psalm 96). The Arts and Creativity: Our desire is to create and atmosphere where high levels of creativity can come forth. You will often see painters, dancers, and writers creating during the Burn. We often set up art stations for people to express their worship through creative mediums.

The Burn 24-7 Story & HistoryIn the 2006 the Burn 24-7 was kindled from the flames of a series of spontaneous, all night, dorm room worship gatherings on the campus of Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma. These meetings were an expression of raw hunger and passion for the presence of God as students fasted sleep and cried out to God through the watches of the night. Soon, outgrowing the tiny dorm room, these grassroots gatherings eventually moved across the street to a Christian owned coffee house. They began to host regular all night worship events with teams of musicians and intercessors from multiple churches ministering to the Lord in two-hour shifts. The sound released was a raw, prophetic cry of a generation longing for another move of God. Eventually word spread and local pastors began to open the doors to host, what became known as the Burn 24-7, in their churches. This simple model of hosting monthly 24, 36, and 48-hour worship and prayer gatherings in different churches across the city became a core component of the young movement. This holy experiment spread like wildfire and many cities in the region began to launch monthly worship gatherings. By 2007 there were close to 20 communities, in cities across the world that took the name Burn 24-7 and utilized this simple model. Since that moment, the Burn 24-7 has exploded to over 150 locations across the world and has pioneered several training schools and sent out dozens of mission teams and several full-time missionaries

What Is The Burn 24-7?The heart of the Burn 24-7 is first and foremost, the passionate pursuit for the presence of God. We gather, regardless of denominational affiliation, to cry out to God night and day for an awakening in the church, an unprecedented global harvest of souls and the transformation of entire cities. We believe the Burn 24-7 is an expression and fulfillment of the restoration of David’s Tabernacle (Amos 9:11 and Acts 15:16). First Commandment Movement:The central focus of the Burn 24-7 is to call the church back to the purity of the first and greatest commandment to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. (Matt 22:37, NIV). Unity Movement:We believe that global revival is connected to the unity of the Church. Therefore, we gather across denominational lines and ethnic boundaries to pursue the presence of God for extended hours of worship and believe the oil of unity is flowing down (Psalm 133). Dividing walls are falling and true covenant love is springing up across the world. Worshippers are forgetting their titles and theological loyalties for the sake of love. Missions Movement:The Biblical and historical model shows us that worship, prayer and encountering God’s presence is the precedent for a dramatic increase in the salvation of souls. The church of Acts encountered God for ten days in the upper room and then ignited a missionary movement to the known world (Acts 2:1-4). Jesus appointed the twelve to first of all “be with Him” before they were called to “Go into all the world” (Mark 3:16, Mark 16:15). Prophetic Worship Movement:Our heart is to cultivate a place where musicians and worshipers have the freedom to release creative, spontaneous, prophetic songs. We believe that as we release the word of the Lord over our regions that God’s purposes will begin to accelerate. When Saul encountered the Presence of God in the company of Samuel’s school of prophetic minstrels, he was “turned into another man” (1 Samuel 10:6). Creative Movement:Divine creativity is birthed in the presence of the Almighty Creator. Our heart is to cultivate an environment where new songs, poems, paintings and dances can be created. We believe God is releasing a fresh wave of anointed creativity from the place of His Presence that will change the world.
