Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital
Feb 27, 2020
Over the last 25 years, your missionaries at Faith & Liberty have witnessed incredible moments on Capitol Hill. But, nothing that compares to the bone-chilling vote this week in the US Senate.
In what can only be described as grotesque evil, forty-one Senators filibustered a bill, the Born-Alive Act, that would have protected newborn babies from having their hearts cut out of their chests while they are still alive.
As bill sponsor Sen. Ben Sasse stated, "This is not about abortion ... it's about babies that have survived a botched abortion. This should be a 100-0 no brainer." Yet, 41 Senators said, "NO!"
Think about that for a moment!
Because of these heartless Senators, medical staff can dump a child who survives an abortion into a bucket of formaldehyde and lock them in a closet for hours, even more than a day as they wait for the newborn infant to die! In 35 states, these medical staff can walk away from that closet with zero fear of legal consequences.
That's something that should activate every person in America. Pastors should be preaching passionate sermons about the importance of protecting life, knowing what the Bible says on this issue, and challenging their congregations to vote biblical values in the upcoming election.
But the reality is, too many pastors are afraid to bring a prophetic Word from their pulpits. They’ve been bullied into believing they must remain silent.
That’s why at Faith & Liberty we are committed to getting the message to pastors that they have the freedom to speak out...they must NOT be silent in the face of this horrific evil.
This is the power of the Silence Is Not an Option resource — a 25-minute DVD and booklet explaining how the law allows pastors and churches to rise up to the leadership role God is calling each one to have in their community.
This is vitally important as we approach a national election. And now you can help turn our vision into a reality ahead of the 2020 election by giving one, or more, pastors these specially created materials and help them become the shepherds and prophets God called them to be!
After receiving the Silence Is Not an Option packet, a nationally known pastor said, "I felt like a prisoner let out of prison. Everyone tells me what I can’t do, but you told me what I CAN do."
For a 10-dollar donation, you can deliver these resources right to a pastor's mailbox in a battleground state. You can help them rip off the muzzle of misinformation and replace it with a megaphone calling our nation back to repentance. Partner with us today by clicking the link below.
But not only must we encourage pastors, we as believers must PRAY! The Bible tells us it is our obligation to pray for those that have rule over us. And we want to encourage you to pray for those Senators who voted against protecting babies, Senators like Dick Durbin (D-IL), Gary Peters (D-MI), Tina Smith (D-MN), Jon Tester, (D-MT), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), and Mark Warner (D-VA).
The Born-Alive Act will come up again in the days ahead for a vote. Pray with us that God will convict the hearts of Senators like those listed above and that they will get on the right side of history – and vote to save the lives of innocent babies who survive an abortion.
Of course, everything we do at Faith & Liberty is ONLY because of the prayerful and generous support of friends like you. Please consider a monthly or one-time donation so that we can continue our fight to protect the babies.
We are honored to stand with you in the service of the voiceless.
