Reverend Lou Engle and members of The Justice House of Prayer San Francisco form a circle and stretch their arms inward in prayer.

Engle is leading his mostly teen- and college-aged followers in prayer and on a 40-day fast in the hopes of interfering in California's laws.

They hope to attend a November 1, 2008 religious revival at San Diego's Qualcomm Stadium for 12 hours of prayer in the hopes of getting Proposition 8 (the ban on gay marriage) passed.
