History made in 1923

---

They impacted their generation

The photo above looks like the starting line for a businessman’s marathon. Well, it is sort of. It's from 1923 and it’s of 52,121 Christian businessmen who gathered and impacted their KC workplaces for Christ (the largest gathering of its kind in the history of the United States; read more about this gathering and other amazing stories from KC's past in The Spiritual Roots of Kansas City).

Let's impact our generation

It got several of us wondering, who in today's KC workplace is still running God’s generational marathon like those men (and women) from nearly 100 years ago? Then an idea came to us to...

• Commemorate the centennial of this historical event by grabbing the relay race baton extended to us and gathering Christian businesspeople to PRAY for God to impact our workplaces also.

• 2019 was YEAR-1 of an annual build-up to 2023 as we gather for workplace PRAYER each year for 10 consecutive days culminating on Labor Day (our nation's celebration of work).

The "10 days" is inspired by the New Testament Christians who gathered in Jerusalem for 10 days as Jesus instructed them, causing a mighty move of God that impacted their city and beyond. 

• But the impact of our annual 10-day event caused us to expand in 2020...so we also gather for workplace PRAYER the 2nd Saturday of every month.
