Faith & Liberty has been ministering on Capitol Hill as well as across this great land of ours for many years. You may have been reading this update every week for some time, but starting now, you will notice it has a new name: “Covering the Capital.”

We’ve refreshed the name for multiple reasons, including the fact that reading the “Faith & Liberty Monday Report” may not actually get accomplished until later in the week. Additionally, we are involved in many activities, and some deserve more attention than the few lines they get in a brief report.

There may also be times when you receive reports from us more than once a week, but we promise not to deluge your inbox! We consider you a critical support to this ministry, and at times, we need you to uphold our arms in prayer, just as Aaron and Hur did with Moses when he became fatigued. It was only when Moses held up his hands that Israel prevailed on the battlefield (Exodus 17:8-16).

We trust you will continue to read Faith & Liberty’s “Covering the Capital.” As you do, please pray through the items on our to-do list. Even if we don’t have official prayer points, we know our intercessors and supporters will bring our needs, concerns, and priorities to our Lord — who answers prayer!

Now for the best news of all! Our Bible studies continue to draw all kinds of people working on Capitol Hill. Sometimes we are made aware of how God’s Spirit is working quietly in the hearts of those who attend. Recently, two atheists who attended at the same Bible study time became Christians! We didn’t even know they were atheists!

Friends, the Good News of the Gospel is truly Good News! Praise the Lord with us and thank you for supporting us in so many ways so we can be present on Capitol Hill!
