Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital

Testimony From the Deplorables!

Nov 25, 2024

As our Countdown to the Live Nativity continues, we are now only nine days from that remarkable moment when the Holy Family, along with shepherds, Wise Men, and sheep, a donkey, and a camel will reenact the Nativity scene right in front of the United States Supreme Court. It will be an amazing moment.

But it can only happen with your help. Please take a moment to make the most generous investment you can to help us with the Live Nativity! Select Here.

As we present the Live Nativity, we make certain the shepherds are included — just as they were included in the herald of the birth of Christ. On the night Jesus was born, angels exploded into the night sky to announce to a group of shepherds not only the birth of the Christ Child, but also its meaning.

“Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord’” (Luke 2:8-11).

Amazing! Why? A famous American 20th century comedian, George Gobel, once said, “Do you ever feel like the world is a tuxedo and you’re a pair of brown shoes?” Well, that describes the shepherds’ experience.

Shepherds were considered the dregs of society. They were outcasts, despised by the “respectable” elements of the culture. Sort of like Trump supporters in today’s political environment. In fact, the integrity of shepherds was so suspect that they were not even allowed to be witnesses in a court of law.

And yet, it was to these outcasts, these deplorables, that God chose to reveal His purposes in the incarnation, AND to serve as His first ambassadors of the Gospel.

You see, God often uses the most unexpected people to advance His message of salvation. Just think, over the last few years He used the deeply held religious convictions of parents to stand up against tyranny in school board meetings, local libraries, and even to the halls of Congress.

Across our nation today God is using courageous Christians to serve as His prophetic ambassadors.

And God uses the costumed characters of the Live Nativity to remind those in our nation’s halls of power that they, too, can know the good tidings and great joy of salvation through Jesus!
