Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital

The Faith & Liberty Monday Report

Dec 30, 2024

It’s been a quiet week on Capitol Hill and at our Ministry Center — with the exception of Christmas gatherings and gift exchanges. It's a perfect time to look back to see what God has done this year through the ministry of Faith & Liberty. Glory to His name!
 
We are grateful, too, for those of you who have prayed for the ministry and staff members of Faith & Liberty throughout the year. The Lord also led some of you to give financially to sustain our unique and vital ministry on Capitol Hill, and we thank you! As many of you are now considering your year-end giving, we ask you to remember and support Faith & Liberty as the Lord leads you. Any gift given today or tomorrow will be DOUBLED by a year-end Challenge Grant. Will you make your year-end gift today?
 
May God abundantly bless you as we approach a brand-new year with anticipation for what He will do in and through us all!
 
Your missionaries in Washington, D.C.,
