The Stoddard County Grassroots tent revival will be held on September 27th in the West Park in Dexter, MO at 6:30 PM each night.
This Grassroots move of God started in October of last year by a group of Christians of various backgrounds from this area. Since then, it has grown tremendously and has travelled to 16 towns in Southeast MO and 1 in Southern IL. Everyone involved is local to this region.
This ministry was born out of Morehouse, MO and founded by Chris and Roxanne Rauscher, Tommy Cook, and Caleb Hodgkiss.
Caleb of Morehouse, MO. Went to the Asbury Revival in Wilmore KY last year and had an experience with God he never had before. Such an experience that it motivated him and others to create environments where folks back home can experience what he did at Asbury.
Since then we’ve seen 408 water baptized, countless saved/rededicated, several entered in recovery programs, and many stories of forgiveness and restoration across 16 cities here locally. One of my favorites things about Grassroots Tent Revivals says Caleb is Unity amongst pastors and denominations like never seen before. These tent revivals have really brought a lot of people together and so many new friendships and memories have been made out of these tent revivals
These tent meetings are here first to seek and save the lost. This is a causal environment, no one gets dressed up, everyone is welcome come as you are. It’s a great place to have an encounter with the Lord outside of the four walls of the church. But the tent is also for The Body of Christ. It’s to refresh, renew, REVIVE us! To stir us up towards love and good works. To motivate us to action in Christ
If you’ve never been to one, come check it out! We encourage you to attend and see firsthand what it is and what it isn’t. We also encourage you to ask a friend what they’ve seen, felt, and experienced there. Kid friendly event, located in the park. New speakers and musicians every night all from this area.
Let’s make some memories in Christ!

The National Day of Prayer is observed each year on the first Thursday in May.
The National Day of Prayer exists to mobilize unified public prayer for America. The National Day of Prayer is an annual observance held on the first Thursday of May, inviting people to pray for the nation. It was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of the United States Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman.
First Call of Prayer in 1775: Because of the faith of many of our founding fathers, public prayer and national days of prayer have a long-standing and significant history in American tradition. The Supreme Court affirmed the right of state legislatures to open their sessions with prayer in Marsh vs. Chambers (1983).
The National Day of Prayer is a vital part of our heritage. Since the first call to prayer in 1775, when the Continental Congress asked the colonies to pray for wisdom in forming a nation, the call to prayer has continued through our history, including President Lincoln’s proclamation of a day of “humiliation, fasting, and prayer” in 1863. In 1952, a joint resolution by Congress, signed by President Truman, declared an annual national day of prayer. In 1988, the law was amended and signed by President Reagan, permanently setting the day as the first Thursday of every May. Each year, the president signs a proclamation, encouraging all Americans to pray on this day. Last year, all 50 state governors plus the governors of several U.S. territories signed similar proclamations.
2023 National Prayer For America: We come with fervent hearts to praise You Lord. You are The Word, the Way, Truth and Life. The Alpha and Omega, Lion of Judah, Almighty God who was, and is, and is to come. You clothed Yourself in flesh and dwelt among us, to remove our sin and clothe us in Your righteousness that we might dwell with You forever and ever.
With broken, humbled hearts we repent of our sins. Confessing to You our faithlessness, prayerlessness, and disobedience. Forgive us for our doubt, our prideful and quarrelsome words that reveal our unclean hearts. Cleanse us and renew a right and steadfast spirit within us we pray.
With grateful hearts we thank You fervently for the blessings in our life and throughout America; they are more than we are able to
count. We will remember Your grace and testify to Your goodness in all generations. Help us to refrain from complaining, but instead be prompted to pray faithfully in every circumstance. Teach us to have a content heart knowing You are always enough for our every need....by Kathy Branzell, President, National Day of Prayer Task Force.
