Transforming lives with Good News in the Nation’s Capital

Covering the Capital: Engaging Gen Z Youth

Jul 14, 2026

Yesterday was truly an inspiring day as Faith & Liberty co-hosted with The Rooftop ministry about 20 youth from North Carolina, Tennessee, and New York. We welcomed them and started the day with the Gen Z Rooftop Prayer Encounter — which was a first! It was a powerful time of praising God and interceding for our nation as well as hearing how God is speaking to the hearts of these high school and college students.

Faith & Liberty brings the Word of God to Capitol Hill, ministering to lawmakers and their staff through prayer and worship, Bible studies, fellowship, pastoral care, discipleship, and prophetic witness. Through your active support, Faith & Liberty is standing for faith, freedom, and the family in this 250th year of America’s founding. Would you prayerfully consider giving today to support this vital ministry? We appreciate your prayers and gifts to help the Faith & Liberty team thrive as your missionaries in our nation's capital.

During the two hours of Rooftop Prayer, the students prayed on their own while overlooking the capital, then there was guided prayer and a program. Later, they participated in a Bible study at the Ministry Center, then toured the Capitol. They also had a wonderful opportunity to pray over House Chaplain Margaret Kibben. It was a full day of discipleship, education, and engagement!

Faith & Liberty has always interacted with interns coming to work on Capitol Hill, but this group was even younger, so it was a great opportunity to speak into an up-and-coming generation, many of whom are turning to the Lord and tuning into the revival happening on campuses and in churches across our nation.

We must certainly remember to cover this next generation in prayer against spiritual deception and for the truth of the gospel to prevail despite the cultural onslaught and social media influences. We pray God would use them to speak truth to and through their generation, which is the future of our nation.

We look forward to more interaction with student groups this summer, and we know you will stand with us as we serve in this way. Thank you!
