Reflecting on the results of the 2024 election, we are profoundly grateful for God’s mercy. He has granted us hope and the opportunity to advance His truth. Yet, while we rejoice in what God has done, we recognize our ultimate hope cannot rest in any political leader or party. True and lasting transformation requires spiritual revival. If America is to thrive, if we are to pass this precious experiment down to future generations, we must remember this: political and economic greatness cannot survive without moral goodness. In this moment of opportunity, the church must repent and boldly serve as a prophetic voice for America, the world, and the next generation. It is for that reason that we invite you to join us at the National Gathering for Prayer and Repentance to repent of sin—as individuals, as the church, and as a nation.

In November of 2022, I called Tony Perkins, and Congressman Mike Johnson, to see what their thoughts were about calling government and faith leaders together to pray for repentance. They both agreed that this was needed. The National Gathering for Prayer and Repentance is not a prayer breakfast. This is a “no-breakfast prayer.” The prayers are about repentance. For personal sins. For sin in the church. For America’s sins. We focus on the vertical, that is, God. We don’t applaud for people. We only applaud for God…at the end. We don’t have speeches or sermons, except designated persons, who take seven or eight minutes, to call us to serious repentance. We don’t even introduce people. The spotlight is on God. People lead in prayer. To Him. For one minute. Sincere heartfelt prayer. Intense prayer. As if the nation depends on it. Because it does.
