Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital
Dec 21, 2023
Faith & Liberty is daily engaged on Capitol Hill promoting the sanctity of life, the sanctity of the family as God defines the family, and religious liberty. But there is far more to our ministry. In fact, because of you, lives are being changed on Capitol Hill. Let us explain ...
Becoming a congressional staffer or intern on Capitol Hill can be daunting even for the best and brightest. Many of these young people come to Washington with lofty goals and high expectations. They may be seeking a career in the federal government, and being an intern or staffer is a great stepping stone to future positions in Congress or a presidential administration.
But then they experience the pressure of supporting a member of Congress, keeping up the pace of a congressional office, juggling deadlines and other time commitments, being careful not to make mistakes, and handling the stress of significant overtime. It can become discouraging and overwhelming.
At this critical time in life, many of these young staffers do not have a personal faith or an understanding of the gospel. Enter Faith & Liberty. The team at Faith & Liberty has a heart for ministering to these young staffers and interns. They are the future of America. Because of our unique position on Capitol Hill, we have an opportunity to do just that.
We praise the Lord that this year we’ve seen more staffers and interns surrendering their lives to Christ than we ever have in the history of Faith & Liberty! Weekly Bible studies at our Ministry Center and inside the U.S. Capitol building have generated so much interest that we’ve added more study times to the schedule.
Our Bible studies focus on topics and challenges that help staffers and interns engage with others in their sphere of influence. These studies offer a time set aside to pray with them, discuss how to apply the Scriptures today, counsel them in their daily walk, and fortify their faith.
Through partnership with a local church, many staffers and interns have connected with this body of believers, and we rejoice at the significant number of baptisms we’ve witnessed this year.
We also host interns from colleges across the nation. The interns get to experience our nation’s capital and see firsthand the need for believers to shine the light of Christ in what is often a dark culture.
Our ministry to members of Congress as well as their staffers and interns is only possible through the faithful prayers and financial support of people like YOU. Because of you, we’re letting the light of Christ shine in a way that is influencing America’s current and future leaders.
Right now, any gift given between today and the end of the year will be DOUBLED by a year-end Challenge Grant. Will you make a generous year-end gift to Faith & Liberty today?
Perhaps you were not aware of this aspect of Faith & Liberty’s ministry and now would like to pray and give to sustain our presence on Capitol Hill. If you are already a regular supporter, please join us in thanking God for empowering our ministry to staffers and interns, some who will likely be future leaders in America. Thank you for standing with us as we minister to the next generation!
Your missionaries to Washington, DC,
