Held Saturday, Oct. 6, near the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C., Stand in the Gap 2007 marked the 10th anniversary of the first Stand in the Gap, which brought a million men to the National Mall in 1997. Baptist Press reports the gathering opened with a 200-member trumpet ensemble call to worship. Throughout the day, an estimated 20,000 men moved from standing and raising their hands in unified worship and adoration of Jesus Christ to falling on their knees in corporate prayers of remembrance and repentance. Inspired by the Old Testament's Nehemiah's leadership in rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem, the gathering featured key "acts" of returning to God -- remembering His attributes, renewing one's resolve to live a godly life and the rebuilding of what is broken in men's lives.
