American Christians from all denominations are participating in prayer and fasting this month.
The Awakening America Alliance, a broad coalition of over 300 denominations, is calling for a period of 21 days of corporate prayer and fasting during January 2011.
During those 21 days, which can be selected by the individual, participants will seek personal transformation as well as an awakening of this generation to Christ.
This is the Alliance's third annual "21 Days for a New Awakening" initiative.
The Awakening was started by Pastor Stovall Weems, lead Pastor of Celebration Church in Jacksonville, Florida., which is one of the top 100 fastest growing churches in the country.
Over 1 million people have already signed on to participate in this year's awakening experience from churches all over the country.
"In a world filled with Twitter, FaceBook, and so much noise and clutter we easily get distracted and gunked up spiritually," said Pastor Stovall Weems in a statement. "But through fasting and an emphasis on prayer, we can hit the reset button and find the thriving life God promises. I promise this year will be the best of your life if it's your best spiritually."
