Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital

The Faith & Liberty Monday Report

Oct 7, 2024

If ever our nation needed to acknowledge God and humble ourselves before Him, it is now. That is why it is most appropriate that this Saturday a gathering of 1 million women (along with families) is expected on the National Mall in our nation’s capital. It will be a glorious site to see! Christian women of all ages, races, and walks of life will join as one to unify in a movement of prayer and fasting for America to bless and return to God. These women are called “Esthers,” aligned with Queen Esther of the Bible who, with Mordecai, was able to save the Jewish people from extinction.

Today, it is also appropriate to again remember the Jewish people. One year ago, the Israeli people were caught in a devastating terrorist attack. We pray for God’s will to prevail in the war in the Middle East and for the hostages to be returned safely to Israel.

“And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” (Esther 4:14b).

It’s amazing how God directs the circumstances of our lives, as Esther’s life illustrates.

We believe, too, that God has positioned Faith & Liberty in Washington at this critical time. If you are not able to attend the gathering on the Mall this weekend, please join us in unity in prayer on behalf of our nation ahead of next month’s critical election. Thank you and God bless you!

MONDAY RECAP

  • Faith & Liberty hosted over 40 congressional interns and staffers for Trivia Night at the Ministry Center. Cheers, laughter, and applause filled the back patio as the teams competed to answer the questions first!

  • The interns enjoyed Pizza Time during our Wednesday Bible study. Plenty of food and fellowship!
  • Peggy Nienaber attended the King’s Church Women’s Brunch on Saturday. The theme was “Jesus and the Woman of Samaria” that left us with an important question: “What can we learn from the woman’s response to her encounter with Jesus?” It was a time of life-giving conversation and great food!

Faith & Liberty’s staff will be attending the National Prayer Assembly and praying for America at this critical hour, as we face a pivotal election and many other issues, from hurricanes in the South to family issues before Congress. We’ll be praying in and for unity, authority, and faith.

Pray that life, religious freedom, and the natural family will prevail in the halls of Congress and in the White House.

Pray for those who were affected across the Southeast by Hurricane Helene and for those in the path of Hurricane Milton.

Pray for our Bible studies and that the Word of God would have a great impact in the lives of all who attend. Pray for strong Christian friendships to be formed as well!
