We’re back from our annual prayer retreat, where we had time to linger in the presence of the Lord and be refreshed in peaceful communion with Him. If you submitted a prayer request, thank you for affording us the opportunity to lift your need or concern to our Heavenly Father.

As you know, we cannot engage in our prayer retreat or 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.

August is a quieter month for Faith & Liberty as members of Congress are at home connecting with their constituents. Some of our activities, including most Bible studies, are winding down even as we look forward to the launch of fall events. We recently did a livestream on Facebook sharing about these ministry activities and more, but we'll highlight a few here.

On Saturday, October 11, we’ll be part of Communion America with its mile-long communion table on the National Mall. This has never been done before in our nation’s capital! We invite you to participate by joining Faith & Liberty at our section of this huge table gathering of believers from all 50 states. Our director of strategic partnerships, Patty Bills, is happy to share any details, such as what food to bring, if you’d like to consider participating. Email her at [email protected].

Toward the close of the year, our annual Live Nativity will be held Thursday, December 4. It would be a joy to have you as an individual or your church participate that day or in the run-up to this significant outreach in Washington, D.C.

Before all of that, we are partnering with She Leads America to plan their October summit in our nation’s capital. At the summit, Faith & Liberty will host a Congressional Prayer Breakfast, and during a luncheon, we’ll connect with participants from the U.K. and countries in Africa. We'll be part of a discussion on faith, religious freedom, and the family, and share what we do to sustain these critical pillars of our nation. See more about this event below.

As Rev. Greg Cox, our senior pastor, shared on our livestream, we’re not busy for the sake of busyness. What we engage in is “activity with a purpose,” a purpose that includes transforming lives through the gospel and honoring the name of Jesus — even in Washington’s corridors of power.

“For this reason God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name” (Phil. 2:9).

Thank you for standing with us to lift up His mighty name!
