Final Day at David’s Tent DC!

Final Day at David’s Tent DC!

by | Nov 5, 2013 | house of prayer

Looking back over the past 43 days or so, I’m completely blown away at what Jesus has done. People have gotten saved, people have been healed physically and emotionally and countless lives have been touched by Jesus. Over 200 bands from all over the nation have come to lead worship. Over 44 states and 37 nations have come to worship with us on the White House Ellipse. Over 5,000 people have already joined us online via our webstream. Thousands have come through David’s Tent, and tens of thousands more have been impacted by the testimony of David’s Tent through our social media channels.

The story of David’s Tent is a powerful one. Where else in the world can you find 200 different worship teams sharing the same stage in a really really long love song? Not only that, but through the government shutdown, a flood, and many other obstacles the song of worship to Jesus has continued! This testimony of faith has been a seed of hope in people all across America this fall. Over and over I’ve heard from people sharing with us how much they’ve been encouraged by the story of David’s Tent! Through it all the worship has been rising to Jesus! He IS worthy of it all!

Every day I’ve gotten the privilege of seeing and hearing first hand the stories of people that come to worship with us. I’m so encouraged and blessed by how the nation has gathered together here this fall to give Jesus a sacrifice of praise. For many people, it really has been a sacrifice. I’ve talked to people that took days off from work to drive 10+ hours to DC just to lead a worship set and then drive back. A church group drove in from Wisconsin just for a day. A single mom from New Jersey drove several hours with all her kids in tow just for a couple hours of meeting with Jesus at David’s Tent. I feel like I could go on forever about the people that I’ve met this fall. They’ve all been so giving and love Jesus so much! I’m always encouraged and challenged to love Jesus more every time I get to speak with one of them. It’s been my honor and joy to be able to be a part of putting this event on and creating a space for people to join together from all over the world to worship Jesus.

A HUGE thank you to all of you who have made it possible! You are all amazing and we’re so grateful for everyone who gave financially, prayed for us, and came to worship with us!

Please join us tonight for our Grand Finale from 7-9 pm! We’ll be livestreaming today from 5-9 pm, so if you can’t join us on the White House Ellipse please join us online! We also will continue to worship through the night. We just can’t get enough of worship! It’s too hard to stop! :)

See you there,

Theme Songs of David’s Tent

by | Oct 9, 2013 | house of prayer

One of things that I love about being at David’s Tent and being able to worship with so many different worship leaders from around the nation is that I get to see “themes” throughout it all. There are many songs that are being sung by the same worship leaders all throughout each day without any of them knowing that the others have been singing it! It’s been fun for me to see some of the songs that have become anthems of David’s Tent this year. 

One of them that surprised me this year was My Soul Sings. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard that song at David’s Tent this year, not to mention how many times I’ve already sung it there too! Each time I experience God in a new way through that song and get more and more revelation of His heart! I wasn’t expecting it to be an “anthem” of David’s Tent but it really has become one. It’s been a fun thing for me with Jesus because My Soul Sings was the first song I really learned how to play on the keyboard. I played that song to Jesus for an hour every day and ended up writing a song off of it called Never Tired of My Voice. I was blown away by how amazing it is that Jesus doesn’t get tired of our worship, even when it’s the same song over and over and over! That’s so great, because for all of eternity we’ll be singing “Holy, Holy, Holy,” around the throne! It’ll never be boring! For those of you who have been following my blog for awhile you might remember this story. If not, you can read my story about it here: https://davidstentdc.org/never-tired-of-my-voice/ Anyways, everytime I hear My Soul Sings it’s a sweet time with Jesus. So many memories! 

I think the lyrics of that song are so meaningful, especially as an anthem of worship this year. 

“My soul sings, my soul sings, my soul sings how I love you.”

I believe that the Lord is giving us hearts of worship in a new way so that we, individually, would truly be 24/7/365 places of worship. Last year we joked about making shirts that said “I am David’s Tent.” It’s silly, but so true! 24/7 worship isn’t just about a tent or a church, or the formality of never letting a moment be silent. It’s all about our hearts being that place of worship. We are God’s temple! Not a tent on the White House Ellipse. Without our hearts truly being places of worship a big white tent becomes meaningless. May my soul ever sing His praises!! 

If you haven’t made it down to David’s Tent yet, I encourage you to do so! It’s so refreshing and such a sweet place to meet with Jesus. We’ve already had over 20 nations and 35 states show up to worship with us! Come and represent your state too! 

Tonight we have Tim Feddes from Washington House of Prayer leading worship for our corporate 7-9pm set. Tomorrow my husband Ryan and I are leading the 7-9 pm set. I’ll probably find myself singing My Soul Sings! I just can’t stop singing that song! :)

See you there,

Rebecca Montgomery

 

Share Your Testimonies!

by | Oct 7, 2013 | 24/7 worship, house of prayer, News Update

Testimonies are incredible things. They build faith for God to move and encourage all who hear them! I’ve been so blessed by being able to hear the testimonies of how God moved in people’s lives through David’s Tent or their experience worshipping there with us. It’s always a breath of fresh air! 

Just yesterday I was talking to a sweet lady who was sharing with me that she normally feels very shy and timid around people but at David’s Tent she never felt like that. She led worship for 2 hours and was so blessed the entire time and felt nothing but the sweetness of the presence of the Lord. Yesterday as well a Korean man came up to the tent and was so blessed that he was overcome with the need to give to us. We can’t accept cash donations on site because of our permit restrictions and that’s all he had on him, so he went away disappointed. About an hour later he showed up again completely unexpectedly with bags of snacks and drinks for all of our David’s Tent staff. He said “I was so blessed, and so encouraged by this that…how can I not give? I had to find a way!” Wow! Everytime I hear something like that I am so encouraged! God is truly moving at the tent, he’s encountering and changing people’s lives and they’re walking away blessed. 

I’d love to hear YOUR stories! So much of what God does at David’s Tent is in the thousands of people that pass through the tent over the 40 days. You can send in your stories and testimonies to becca@davidstentdc.org. I’d love to share them here on my blog but also just to hear what the Lord is doing in your lives! 

We’re on day 12 of our 1,000 hour love song and still going strong! Today we’ve had Gateway House of Prayer in from Pennsylvania to worship with us. They’re taking a couple of worship slots today and it’s been such a blessing to have them! Continue to join us at the White House Ellipse as we worship Jesus. Also, please continue to keep us in your prayers! We know that your prayers are powerful and effective! 

See you at the Ellipse,

Rebecca Montgomery
