First Freedom Challenge | One Week Reminder
Dear Friend of Liberty,
The First Freedom Challenge is less than a week away. And if you
haven't already committed to help make next Friday a national
night of prayer, I am asking you to commit to taking the challenge
right now.
As you know, I have been in the fight for faith for over 30 years.
Last year we had one of the greatest Supreme Court victories come down
in our lifetime. It changes how you and I can live out our faith.
To give you a complete picture of how monumental this ruling is to
faith in America, let me take you back to the 1850s and a renewal of
hope that started because one man had the courage to obey God.
The third great awakening started when layman Jeremiah Lanphier led
his first prayer meeting in New York City. He was acting in obedience
to a calling that was placed on his heart to bring faith and hope to
his community.
On that historic day in September, six businessmen met and prayed for
America. From this one meeting, a faith movement spread now known as
The Businessmen's Revival.
In the following weeks and months, the group exploded to thousands
gathering daily for these prayer meetings. This one man with prayer on
his heart was the catalyst to surging hope in America. It's
estimated that one million souls found faith in the two-year span of
this awakening.

Back in February of this year, you may remember another movement
sparked at Asbury University in Kentucky.
What started as a regular chapel service turned into a massive
gathering lasting for weeks.
People who attended described the atmosphere as simple, peaceful
worship, prayer and repentance. The college president calls it a
spiritual awakening. Nearly 50,000 people from all over the country
flocked to the campus.
Today, I want to introduce you to what could be the next catalyst for
Revival in America: Coach Joe Kennedy's Supreme Court ruling.
Nearly 10 years ago, one high school coach took a stand for faith by
taking a knee in prayer, and he was fired for it.
Last year, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Coach Kennedy's
personal prayer on the 50-yard line after high school football games.
Most people don't realize this, but his case has caused a
drastic shift in the law that opens up religious liberty for ALL
Americas.
This historic case reversed decades of bad legal precedent and
hostility to religious expression.
But this ruling doesn't just apply to Coach Kennedy - every
person of faith has the right to personal expressions of faith that
can't be censored.
In less than one week, Coach Joe Kennedy returns to Bremerton High
School to coach his first Friday night football game since his Supreme
Court win.
And Friday, September 1st is already shaping up to be a historic day.
In celebration of his comeback and our right to pray, Americans from
coast-to-coast are signing up say a personal private prayer at their
own football games.

This is a simple yet powerful step we can take to restore faith in our
schools and communities. It could even help spark Revival throughout
our country.
Yes, I will take the First Freedom Challenge and commit to pray with
Coach Kennedy.
I pray and hope that you will join this challenge to exercise our
God-given rights next week.
