“Jesus” is the Greek translation of the Hebrew Joshua (Yehoshua)—which means “The Lord saves” or “The Lord our Salvation.” But what joy, what depth is found in the simple word “saves.” It means to be brought into wide open spaces, to be set free, to be delivered. Think of it as being lost in a deep, dark cave—and then someone comes and delivers us from our confinement and brings us out into wide open meadows. We can breathe! We are alive! THAT IS SALVATION!

And that’s God’s promise to us. When we put our faith and trust in Jesus, we are set free from what binds us, the sin that constrains, chokes and limits us!

That’s our message to our leaders in Washington through our annual Live Nativity. It doesn’t matter how much power you wield or how much people patronize you to get what they want or how many fancy cars are in your motorcade. We are all bound by sin—and in need of someone to rescue us and bring us into the wide-open spaces of God’s grace.

That salvation is found in Jesus.

As Peter told the power brokers of ancient Israel, "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).

And right now, during the Christmas season, hearts and minds are open in ways unlike any other time of year.

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.

This year we’ve seen more staffers and interns surrendering their lives to Christ than we ever have in the history of Faith & Liberty!

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?

We hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas.

Your missionaries to Washington, DC,

Peggy Nienaber, Vice President
Mat Staver, Chairman
Rev. Gregory Cox, Senior Pastor
