Unity in Time of Tragedy

The assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump on Saturday shocked the nation.

The former president was providentially saved, with a bullet only grazing his right ear.

One man, former firefighter chief Corey Comperatore, 50, of Sarver, Pennsylvania, was killed during the assassination attempt.

Two other individuals were injured, including 57-year-old David Dutch, of New Kensington, and 74-year-old James Copenhaver, of Moon Township. Both are listed in stable condition.

The shooter, a 20-year-old Bethel Park resident, was killed in the security response.

Our hearts break for the victims and their families and our prayers continue for our former president and his loved ones as they seek to move forward following this tragedy.

The last time a president was shot in our country was Ronald Reagan, shortly after he took office on March 30, 1981. The event changed the course of American history, serving as a decade in which patriotism rose and many looked to God in newfound faith.

Will America make a similar shift today?

We each have a role in the new future of America. At Family Policy Alliance, we recently joined forces with Christians Engaged. Together, we are calling for one million Christians to take the pledge to pray, vote, and engage for our nation.

All Christians are called to these three areas. I am asking today that you join with us in a concerted effort to pursue change in our nation.

We need to pray. First and foremost, we need to pray for those directly affected by the events on Saturday. But it goes so much further than that. While every person reading this message is probably already praying, it needs to be repeated: Every Christian is equipped to pray for our nation, and we should commit to doing so every day.

Second, we need to vote. Can you imagine the impact of every Christian both praying for our nation and showing up to vote every time? No more excuses – we need to vote - not just in the big elections every four years, but every time.

Third, Christians need to engage in civics and political discourse. How can we expect our government to respect our values if we do not engage or participate? That means more than just voting... we have work to do. We could change the face of our government and its laws from the local town hall to the White House if we educate ourselves and take steps to engage in the process.

Please join me in signing our pledge to do just these things — Pray, Vote, and Engage. It is what America needs right now, and it has to start with us.

It is simple, and we need everyone. Join me today.

Sincerely,

Robert Noland
Director, Marketing

Take the Pledge to Pray, Vote and Engage
