We are blessed beyond words at Faith & Liberty by the turnout for the US Capitol Bible Reading Marathon we hosted at our ministry center. The prayers that you lifted to Heaven were heard as we had an AMAZING event! God used the pandemic for something bigger. Because we were unable to be on the grounds of the US Capitol this year due to COVID, we hosted the event virtually...and 54,000 viewers tuned in! We had participants from around the world, even South Korea! Numerous congressional leaders participated, but what touches my heart the most is that we learned we had some participants from prison, and many gave their life to Christ.
If you have never donated to our ministry, or maybe it’s been awhile, this is an opportune time to join with our team at Faith & Liberty in what God is doing in our nation’s capital.We value your partnership with this ministry and can only do what we do with your help!
