Thousands of Christians packed the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida and live-streamed the event in thousands of churches across the United States all part of a "new Jesus movement."
"The Send," a 12-hour event Saturday that was a collaboration of national ministries aimed at activating Christians to fulfill their God-given call, was launched by evangelist Lou Engle, Youth With A Mission (YWAM), and other ministries. Engle, the founder of "The Call," said "The Send" was launched after a conversation in 2011 with YWAM members who spoke about a new generation of Christian missionaries rising up following Rev. Billy Graham's passing.
"We believe this day, something will transfer and bring us into, I believe, worldwide transition into the greatest Jesus movement we have ever seen," Engle said.
Lindy Conant-Cofer, who was recently inspired to start fostering a baby boy with her husband after she heard from God, led worship during the day with her band, "Lindy and the Circuit Riders." She recently told Fox News she believes the time is ripe for a "Third Great Awakening," a theme that was present all throughout the event.
"Now is the time for spiritual awakening and now is the time for a massive missions wave to the nations of the earth," Andy Byrd, Youth With A Mission leader, said. "This is about winning a generation for Jesus and this is about sending a generation to places that are still longing for the revelation of the gospel."
