Hello Everyone! Ryan Montgomery Here!

Less than a week ago we kicked off David’s Tent DC, and already the presence of God is moving on the White House Ellipse! With David’s Tent in such a prominent location dozens of passersby from around the world stop in curiosity, drawn by the music and the joy of the crowd worshipping. They often ask ask questions and our staff then have the opportunity to share the good news of the gospel and pray with them. Just this week I’ve personally gotten to share with people from Korea, France, Saudi Arabia, and many other places. They come here to see America’s capital city, but they leave with the seed of the gospel in their hearts. The testimony of Jesus is going forth in DC and touching the ends of the earth! We’ve already seen at least one salvation at David’s Tent just in these few days, and are believing for many more!

As I write this, I’m about to head out to the Ellipse to join our staff and believers from all over America for our nightly 7-9pm “corporate” set. Since David’s Tent runs 24 hours a day, people come and go all the time and it can be easy to feel a little scattered. So, every evening we all gather in unity and worship together for our final amplified set of the day, 7-9pm. We warmly invite you to come join us nightly for these evenings of unified praise!

Here’s the schedule for the next week of corporate sets:
Sunday 9/21: Newsong Church – (Virginia)
Monday 9/22: Ben Doggett & Alysha Tagert – (DC)
Tuesday 9/23: Collins O’Dwyer – (DC)
Wednesday 9/24: Awaken Wells – (Maryland)
Thursday 9/25: Aaron Zepeda – (DC)
Friday 9/26: Ryan & Rebecca Montgomery – (DC)
Saturday 9/27: Jason Hershey – (DC)
Sunday 9/28: Gregg Barnes & Burn 24/7 Austin – (Texas)
Monday 9/29: Brandon Polk – (DC)

Hope to see you there! I can’t wait to worship alongside you, just as we will for all eternity, gazing on the face of our beautiful Savior.

Simply because he’s worthy,

Ryan Montgomery
P.S.
We still do have worship slots available! To sign up, simply email worship@davidstentdc.org. Thank you!

David’s Tent 2014 Kickoff!

Hello everyone! My name is Bailey and i’m on staff here at David’s Tent DC along with Becca. As the tent has continued to grow every year, our responsibilities as staff have grown as well. So this year Becca has handed off her blog to me! She is very, very busy overseeing much of the tent, and she and her husband Ryan are also expecting their first baby this November! I am so excited to pick up where she left off and share with you all what the Lord is doing out here!

Our first week is well under way and everything is in full swing! The first two days of set-up were very challenging due to unforeseen evacuations off the Ellipse, but everything has finally come together. Last night, the Fredericksburg Prayer Furnace kicked us off for the third year in a row! They truly usher in the presence of God every time they lead worship and we are so blessed to have them as friends. Tonight, Awaken Wells, a local worship team from Virginia, led our corporate set. We were evacuated well into the evening and so we all worshiped from the sidewalk! It was an amazing time of encounter. We were able to pray and share the love of Jesus with many of the people walking by.

As this is my third year staffing David’s Tent, the familiarity that it brings makes it easy to forget the significance of what’s going on out here. But when I take a step back and get some perspective, I remember. I remember that this is not just a good idea that some guy had, this is a dream straight from the heart of God. He has called us, He has sustained us, and He will continue to reveal himself to us because that is His heart’s desire! His utmost goal is that we would know Him more!

My heart is truly expectant that during these 50 days we will see His glory in greater measure than ever before!

Blessings, Bailey
