Congress will be back in session next week, and activity in our nation’s capital will pick up. At Faith & Liberty, our fall calendar is filling up as well, and we are thankful that doors for ministry are opening.

We are seeing movement on Capitol Hill, giving us more opportunities to invite and engage with staffers and interns. We are also praying with and working with the administration’s faith-based office in several ways. Bible studies are being planned and are popping up all over the D.C. area, and we look forward to many ministry events in the coming season.

God is going before us, and we are thankful.

As you know, we cannot connect with members of Congress — or engage in any other ministry activity — without your support! Please prayerfully consider giving for the first time or continuing to give to help us fulfill our unique and vital mission in the nation’s capital.

In 1 Corinthians 16:9, Paul writes about "a wide door for effective work” that had opened for him. He wanted to go to Corinth, but he, wisely, chose to stay in Ephesus for a while longer. No doubt, the apostle was always thinking ahead and seeking to support the churches, but he also followed the guidance of the Holy Spirit and changed his plans as he was led.

At Faith & Liberty, we aim to do the same. We plan but want to be ever watchful and ready for open doors for immediate and unanticipated ministry opportunities. Will you pray with us in the busy fall season ahead that we will be ever vigilant to change direction in the moment? We look forward to being able to share how God has allowed us to respond, connect, and pray with others as He leads.

Thank you for praying and giving as the Lord leads! May the Lord also open doors of effective service for you today!
