Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital

The Faith & Liberty Monday Report

Feb 24, 2025

We trust you are well at this time of change and challenge in our country. Many good things are happening as financial belts are tightened and many “woke” policies in political and corporate culture, which are contrary to our biblical worldview, collapse upon themselves. No doubt, change in Washington and across the heartland may affect some of you — or your families — and the economy has an impact on us all.

We are grateful that God is aware, sovereign, and trustworthy. We pray for our leaders, for humility, wisdom, and knowledge. And we pray for you — and are thankful for your faithful prayers and financial support that keep us here serving on Capitol Hill.

May the Lord be with you!

MINISTRY RECAP

  • Last Tuesday, Faith & Liberty Senior Pastor Rev. Greg Cox and Director of Strategic Partnerships Patty Bills participated last Tuesday in the National Faith Advisory Board conference call featuring the leaders of the new White House Faith Office. They discussed the critical importance of reinforcing religious freedom as a “fundamental value guiding America.”

  • Lindsey Cruz was privileged to attend the Roddie Edmonds Congressional Gold Medal Luncheon last Wednesday. U.S. Army Master Sergeant Edmonds was a POW who helped save an estimated 200-300 Jewish lives during World War II. Pastor Chris Edmonds, Roddie’s son, was in attendance.

  • Last Thursday, Patty Bills participated in a Zoom discussion, “Chaplain Chat with Chaplain Kibben, Chaplain of the House.” Chaplain Margaret Kibben led a discussion on “Leading in Faith during Turbulent Times.” These are the best of times (for some) and the worst of times (for others), but even Charles Dickens would agree, they are indeed turbulent times. How does faith help us find the way through the turbulence?

  • Peggy Nienaber attended a Women’s Brunch on Capitol Hill this past weekend. Food, fellowship, and prayer brought the women together and made this time special.

PRAYER POINTS

Thank the Lord for the key opportunities Faith & Liberty staff members have to connect on Capitol Hill to support the values of faith, family, and freedom.

Thank the Lord for the many opportunities we have to engage with members of Congress, especially for those requesting prayer. Pray that new members will be open to engaging in this way.
