The Bible promises, "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what GOD has prepared for those who love Him" (1 Corinthians 2:9). This was especially true on April 26, 2008 on the Capitol grounds in Washington D.C., in your home, in your town, all over America, and all over the world. The following is just a glimpse of what we never could have imagined God would do for us:
A massive storm with life-threatening tornadoes, heavy rain and winds, and lightning was heading straight towards where we were set up at the Mall in D.C. The National Park Service issued one warning to us saying that after three warnings—or the first bolt of lightning—they were going to pull the plug and ReignDown USA would not happen. Realizing it was beyond our control, with less than an hour until the event was to start, we got on our knees and cried out for God to divert the storm to the North and the South. We called upon the power of the Holy Spirit for the winds to shift from the West to the East and blow the storm away from us. As we cried out on our knees and begged God to move… He did! The wind shifted! The Park Service, watching the weather radar, said that somehow the storm cell was shifting its course and heading to the North. Remembering the power of God in that moment brings tears to our eyes.
Though the call was extended to the President of the United States, he was unable to attend. But God, in order to fulfill His vision, sent a man of authority from the Capitol—with a tender heart for the Lord—to stand in the President’s place. Congressman Trent Franks would come not only to read a proclamation that the President made at the request of ReignDown USA; he would fall to his knees as tears streamed down his cheeks, repenting, putting the final brush strokes on the picture of God’s vision. Not only did Congressman Franks do this, he participated the entire evening. He knelt down in his suit to pray with children and spoke with many.
People from all over the world stood with us on that day and participated at their computers and televisions. Coverage was provided by both a Christian and a secular network. People sent e-mails from all over the world as they watched in tears, saying that the power of the Holy Spirit was filling them, and they could only weep, fall to their knees, and repent.

Even today we are hearing from people who were there about how ReignDown helped re-light the embers that were burning slowly and quietly, starting a new fire, a new passion, and a new beginning in their lives. One woman spoke of how she had never seen her husband on his face before the Lord the way he was that day. That testimony, coupled with others' about a deep sense of newness and cleansing leads me to believe that countless people experienced God on a higher level than ever before all over the nation. - Shirley & Lee Hutson, Salt Lake City, UT
Besides sensing God's awesome presence and feeling so connected to ReignDown through God TV, I was blessed by the unity. Four churches in our area let down the walls of denominations to gather for this wonderful moment in history. I am so glad that it isn't a one time event because I also believe we are just beginning to get a glimpse of His Plan for this time in history. - Christina LaVella, Page, AZ
The Lord of Heaven & Earth...was present here as 650-700 people gathered to humble ourselves, to repent, looking at a spotlighted 12 foot cross & ReignDown banner with lights off (to not see others) it was Holy Ground because of the Intercessory praying and fasting that brought forth the Presence of the Lord to heal His Body...we were blessed to join with Washington via cellular over internet from 6-9 p.m. We were blessed Shawn-Marie & Pastor Walt...thank you for your willing obedience to step out in faith for a mammoth task... - Linda Andrews, New Bedford, MA, U.S.
