Texas teen Junior Garcia, who started out June 7 from his home in Saginaw, Texas with a 12-foot wooden cross on what he describes as "The Journey," has finally arrived at the White House in Washington, D.C, where he was joined by a large crowd for a prayer service.

Garcia, a member of The Oasis Church, led a group of about 200 people Friday morning in prayer in Lafayette Park, located across the street from the White House and where many demonstrations are held.

"I pray for every leader of this nation, so Father, as they make decisions for our country, it's for your glory, Lord," the 19-year-old said, according to theStar-Telegram. His pastor, Randy Lemme, also breathed a word of prayer, calling the event a "warning for America."

Back home, Garcia was supported by members of his congregation who joined him in prayer via Skype.

"It's not for political gain. It's for no other gain. He recognizes the moral decay in this country and what he wants to do is bring the attention back to the cross which is a message of love," another pastor from The Oasis Church who participated through Skype told Fox News Dallas-Fort Worth.

The young Pentecostal Christian said he set out on "The Journey" with his cross 37 days ago to point others to Christ.
