Global awakeningPentecost celebrations draw 10,000 to Saddledome
By TODD SAELHOF, CALGARY SUN
They sang and prayed, but most of all they shared.
Nearly 10,000 people gathered yesterday at the Saddledome to unite with other Albertans and fellow-Christians around the world in the fifth annual Global Day of Prayer.
The union of more than 200-million faithful worldwide is seen as part of an important awakening of Christians, said Jack Neufeld, Calgary's Global Day of Prayer committee chair.
"What's happening is God is impressing upon His people to be revived," said Neufeld, also a city businessman.
"As believers, we're called to be the salt and light of the world, which basically means we're called to be an influence of good."
The annual Pentecost celebration was first held in South Africa four years ago. At the 'Dome, Regina evangelist T.V. Thomas urged the non-denominational congregation to turn the facility into "a sanctuary of praise and prayer."
What followed then was 180 minutes of sharing, as those on hand turned to one another -- and to the world -- to pray. Satellite feeds were piped in via the Jumbotron from Liberia, Indonesia and Hong Kong.
Songs of inspiration also shaped the celebration, as did dancing by Calgarians.
And among many guest speakers spotlighted -- including the city's top Catholic, Bishop Fred Henry -- was Mayor Dave Bronconnier, who helped whip the congregation into an early frenzy and set the tone for the afternoon.
"We are here to share spiritually with other people of the Christian faith -- it's people coming together to pray for their communities, their faith and for the world," Bronconnier said of the event.
Pentecost is the day in which Christians celebrate the giving of the Holy Spirit, and Neufeld hopes Albertans will continue with witnessing beyond the doors of the 'Dome.
"We'd like to see them recognizing the power of God at work through His people," Neufeld said. "I can't help believe that's what's happening today -- that God is touching us as individuals for a more fulfilled Christian life that will bubble over into the lives of the community and those we meet."
