Good day, friends of Faith & Liberty!

The battle for the soul of our nation is on! We see this on many fronts — faith, freedom, the family — all of which align with the ministry of Faith & Liberty on Capitol Hill.

In this election season, rage is on the rise. We often include the request to pray for the safety and security of all running for office. This includes President Trump who was the intended target in yet another assassination attempt this past weekend. We are thankful the shooter failed in his quest and Trump was not hit, but we pray for his continued protection.

We also remember in prayer those members of Congress who take a strong stand for life, religious freedom, and the family. We will honor four of those members at the upcoming Women’s Congressional Prayer Breakfast.

If there is any time our nation needs prayer, it is now. Join us as we stand in agreement (“with one accord”) as the early church did.

“So, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved” (Acts 2:46-47).

• About 30 interns and congressional staffers gathered at our Ministry Center for Worship Night. It was a beautiful time of praise to our Lord!

• Rev. Greg Cox, Faith & Liberty’s senior pastor, attended a meeting on Capitol Hill with several in high-ranking military and diplomatic posts addressing “Iran: Confronting the Threat and Securing a Solution.” There were presentations about the conditions in Iran and the desire to see a democratic Iran replace the current oppressive regime. This would allow for greater religious freedom in this Middle Eastern nation.

• Faith and Liberty’s newest staff member, Lindsey Cruz, and Rev. Cox met with U.S. Senate Chaplain Barry Black.

• As you may know, Patty Bills is working behind the scenes with a church women’s sewing circle on the costumes for our Live Nativity.

• Speaking of sports, Faith & Liberty will be hosting a college football activity for interns and staffers at our Ministry Center on September 21. It will be a great time to fellowship while watching college football.

• Faith & Liberty will co-host a screening of the Unthinkable documentary, an Abby Johnson film exposing the dirtiest secrets of the abortion industry. Members of Congress and congressional staffers have been invited to the screening on September 25 in the U.S. Capitol. In addition, Faith & Liberty and Liberty Counsel Action will co-host a screening of Unthinkable at the Ministry Center in September for leaders on Capitol Hill.

• In September, Faith & Liberty will host the #Let Them Choose conference at the Ministry Center. The Alliance for Israel Advocacy has asked members of Congress to address attendees about a plan for Gaza.
