Day of Prayer revival tour visits Nashville with message of hope

A Day of Prayer Christian revival tour stopped in front of the Tennessee State Capitol in Nashville on Saturday evening.

About 500 worshipers gathered to sing and pray at War Memorial Plaza. Evangelist Sean Feucht, who rose to prominence challenging COVID-era restrictions on religious gatherings in 2020, began by reading Bible verse Jeremiah 33:6.

"No matter what you've gone through, I will bring health and healing," Feucht said. "I will heal my people and let them enjoy abundance, peace and security."

The tour, professionally filmed for online audiences, is a partnership between Let Us Worship and Turning Point USA Faith to promote Christian values in American culture and governance.

Organizers said they tailored Saturday's concert, punctuated with sermons and performances by Rita Springer, to focus on the shooting that killed students and staff at The Covenant School in Nashville on March 27.

"I want to say with all compassion, with all sensitivity, and with no flippancy at all that Hallie, Evelyn, William, Katherina, Cynthia and Mike were welcomed into their prepared place in Heaven by the son of God himself," Feucht said. "Let's not let trouble, anxiety and worry overshadow the hope of Heaven. Heaven is a place where life reigns and death dies."

Sen. Jack Johnson, R-Franklin, was the only politician to address the crowd.

"There are very few things that are as beautiful to see as the kingdom gathered here in a public square to worship our almighty God," Johnson said. "I felt led to read Psalm 34:18: 'The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.'"
