Lou and Therese Engle - Founder, TheCall & the Justice House of Prayer
Lou Engle is the visionary and co-founder of TheCall solemn assemblies, a movement of prayer gathering young adults to pray and fast for breakthrough and revival. TheCall began in Washington, DC in 2000 gathering over 400,000 people to pray and fast for the United States. Since 2000, The Call has gathered hundreds of thousands people to pray both nationally and internationally. After a few years of dormancy, TheCall has been revived beginning in Nashville on 07.07.07 and is on the march again to DC for TheCall DC on August 16, 2008.
Lou Engle's heart passion is to call young adults into a lifestyle of radical prayer, fasting, and holiness. And to that end, while praying for revival in the United States for over 30 years, in 2004, Lou planted the first Justice House of Prayer in Washington, DC to contend with the injustice of abortion and to pray for righteous leaders to be raised up in America. Since 2004, JHOPs have emerged in San Francisco, Boston, New York, and San Diego.
Lou and his wife, Therese, have been married for over 26 years and together they have five sons and two daughters.
