Christians gathered at Bienville Square in downtown Mobile on Election Day to honor God and celebrate their freedom as Americans to pray and vote in a rally sponsored by the twelve23 movement, an outgrowth of the University of Mobile (UMobile) Center for Leadership.
Patriotic music and the notes from the hymn “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” resounded through the city’s public square as the university’s RamCorps drum and bugle ensemble played. Worship leader Nikeland Nichols led the crowd in songs of praise.
Leading the gathering in prayer were UMobile President Mark Foley, Moffett Road Assembly of God Senior Pastor Jerry Jenkins and Mount Hebron Church Ministries Senior Pastor Joe Johnson.
As those gathered locked arms with one another and prayed, Jenkins, Johnson and Foley stood on the bandstand of the square and asked God to continue to bless the nation.
“Bless this country this day, not because we are anything but because you are everything,” Foley prayed.
