4,000 Christians Pray for Reversal of U.S. Decay

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – "This land is Yours!" declared thousands of Christians on Sunday as hundreds of crosses adorned the Virginia Beach shores in an historic act of rededicating the nation to God.

Some 4,000 evangelical Christians, Pentecostals, mainline groups and other believers joined in a day of prayer and revival to mark the 400th anniversary of the first landing of English settlers in America.

“We're praying that this will be a trigger,” said Dr. Charles Crabtree, assistant general superintendent of the Assemblies of God, on the final day of The Assembly 2007 gathering.

“There are turning points throughout all history. The upper room was a turning point for the early church and the reformation was a turning point. There have to be times in history when God's people call on His name and humble themselves and pray and turn and repent [before] God hears and answers that prayer,” he added.
