80,000 Gather for Prayer and Worship at AT&T Stadium

An estimated 80,000 people assembled at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on October 10, 2026, for an event titled “ACCESS — That Powerful Hour of Prayer.” Hosted by Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell and the 2819 Church, the gathering focused on corporate prayer and worship rather than traditional sermons or celebrity speakers. Attendees participated in a unified prayer segment known as “The Cry,” centered on the theme of “Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus!”

Several prominent church leaders were in attendance, including Ed Newton of Community Bible Church and Josh Howerton of Lakepointe Church, who described the event as a significant spiritual experience. The gathering marks a substantial increase in attendance from the 2025 ACCESS event held in Atlanta, which drew approximately 30,000 participants. Organizers noted that all free tickets for the stadium event were claimed within eight hours of release.
