Faithful from across the country gathered in Washington to remember, repent and renew at the 2010 May Day: A Cry to God for a Nation in Distress assembly at the Lincoln Memorial over the weekend.
"We had an appointment with God, and God showed up," said WND columnist and Faith2Action President Janet Porter, a coordinator for the event.
The assembly was based on the idea expressed by Abraham Lincoln in 1863 when he penned a proclamation for a National Day of Prayer and Fasting:
