CANBERRA, Australia, -- The National Day of Prayer and Fasting team from Australia is calling the nations of the world to pray and fast for the USA for seven days from 30 April - 6 May 2015.
Australian Pastor Matt Prater said, "The National Day of Repentance , held on 30 April 2015, takes its inspiration from Abraham Lincoln's Day of 'Humiliation, Prayer and Fasting' held during the Civil War. This day of Repentance begins this 7 day period of prayer and fasting and concludes on 6 May, the eve of the USA National Day of Prayer."
Lana Vawser said, "Australia and the United States of America, it is time to join together. It is God's time for both of these nations to come into their destiny. It is time to stand together and commit to pray and wage war, and God will make a way where there seems to be no way."
Alison Jessup said, "This prayer call has gone viral. The Elijah list had 1.2 million hits in a 24 hour period when we made our first announcement. Our own Prayer for America YouTube has had over 20,000 hits over two weeks."

Dr. Graham McLennan said, "In 1892 the United States Supreme Court determined... that America was a Christian nation from its earliest days. The court opinion, delivered by Justice Josiah Brewer said, 'Our laws and our institutions must necessarily be based upon and embody the teachings of the Redeemer of mankind... We find everywhere a clear recognition of the same truth... this is a Christian nation.'
Warwick Marsh, Australian coordinator, said, "America is a long time friend of Australia. Both nations fought together in the first and second world wars, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf, Afghanistan, and now we fight side by side in a spiritual battle of prayer. Australian intercessors, along with the nations of the world, will continue to pray and fast over this seven day period for a miracle in the Supreme Court; that the court will affirm that marriage will remain between a man and a woman and so fulfill the words of Jesus Christ found in Matthew 19: 4-6."
