For Your Country: Every Man, Every Church, Every Decade

Men to Gather at Washington Monument
For Once-Every-Decade Event
October 6, 2007

WASHINGTON, DC – The men of America are being invited to return to the grounds of the Washington Monument in Washington, DC, on October 6^th for a national gathering of men called Stand in the Gap 2007.

The emphasis of this event is to call generations of men together to honor God, hear from God, and to embolden each man to leave a legacy of spiritual leadership and faithfulness from one generation to the next. Psalm 145:4 captures the essence of the day: “One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts.”
