Australia has done this for the last 3 years so this will be our fourth year praying for America. The 30 April 2016 is the USA Day of Repentance and 5 May 2016 is the USA National Day of Prayer.

Warwick Marsh from Australia said, "On the morning of 7 May 1942, Admiral Fletcher, commander of the US fleet gave orders to his scouting pilots to find the enemy fleet. Suddenly at 8:15AM his fighter pilots spotted the enemy. In warfare surprise is everything. It is our belief that this sighting was an answer to prayer.

Within a few hours the US aircraft carrier, the Lexington, and the Yorktown launched 80 Dauntless Dive Bombers, Torpedo Bombers and Fighters. The Naval Air Squadron attacked the Japanese aircraft carrier Shoho at 11AM. The carrier was hit by 13 bombs and up to 7 torpedoes, she sank at 11:35AM with a loss of 638 lives.

The Battle of the Coral Sea was a strategic victory for the United States and Australia because the Japanese invasion landing force was turned back permanently. Yet the cost of victory was high. 656 Americans paid the ultimate price in the fight against tyranny. Here is an Australian-produced documentary about the Battle for the Coral Sea.

This story is very relevant to us. In several days' time, we in both Australia and America will celebrate the 74th anniversary of that historic battle on the 4-8 May 1942. Many military historians would assert that the Battle of the Coral Sea was the turning point in the Second World War.

Right now the USA is in a spiritual battle for its very survival as a nation under God. Secular forces have taken prayer out of school and progressively waged war against family, faith and religious freedom. It is time for Australia and the people of the world to join with our brothers and sisters in Christ in the USA in this battle for their nation."

Marsh continued, "We are praying for revival and transformation for America according to 2 Chronicles 7:14. We in Australia are grateful for the protection that America gave Australia during World War II. American blood was poured out in the Coral Sea for Australians. It is time for us to return the favour and get on our knees and pray for America. It is time for us to call the nations of the world to stand in the gap in prayer for America.

Often the prayer part of God's army is likened to the air arm aspect of modern warfare. The Battle of the Coral Sea was fought and won in the air. We believe the battle for both Australia and America will be fought and won on our knees. So we encourage whoever can to pray and fast in whatever way you can between Saturday 30 April and 5 May 2016. Together we can make a difference!"
