This week is Gala Week here at Frontline! As we make final preparations for the event (by the way, there are still tickets left, which you can purchase HERE), the Lord has blessed me with a few moments to reflect on what he has done with this ministry.
Less than four years ago, we held an event at Avalon, the same place we will hold our Gala on Friday. The event was coordinated entirely by my wife, myself, and a group of ladies that were passionate about seeing this ministry grow. This was still in our days under the auspices of Family Policy Alliance, and we would have our first staff members start on the night of the event. My daughter, at that time, was just a few months old, and the event was held in early December. Many opted against coming because of COVID concerns. Others did not come because they were despondent over the 2020 results, and others opted against coming because they wanted me and the organization to take a punitive tone toward Georgia elected officials in the 2020 aftermath.
A few months prior to that event, we had informed the national organization that we would be leaving and returning to the original vision of Dr. Dobson and Focus on the Family. That move was not public at this time, but we knew it was coming.
As I prepared for that event, it certainly was a turbulent time. I had four young kids (at that time, 6, 4, 2, and an infant), was starting a new ministry, did not know what the future held for the country and our movement, and already had previous supporters angry with me.
During the event in December of 2020, it was the largest event I’d held to date. We probably had about 125 people – reflecting intense work trying to drive turnout for an event that was free for folks to attend. It was an encouraging evening overall, but, as I sit here today, I am in awe of how God has used, grown, and blessed this ministry.
On Friday night, we will pack out that same room with an event that, frankly, is semi-
expensive to attend.
Instead of being a chapter of a national organization, we are the most well-recognized, impactful, and, frankly, feared conservative group in the state. Large and evil organizations like Southern Poverty Law Center and devoting significant resources to attack and villainize us because they see us as their #1 most effective enemy.
We have a new name and logo, and our brand carries weight and power.
We also have a team. And, while our team is working hard on the Gala, we are also working hard on other things. Tomorrow, Frontline Policy Action roll out a big endorsement. More endorsements will follow. Meanwhile, Frontline Policy Council is engaging in an unprecedented church engagement project with our I Believe Campaign. We have a massive legislative session coming up, new projects to announce, and a major
Conference coming up in January. Our growth has fueled serious impact, and we take our role as the Frontline seriously – Georgia’s largest and most impactive conservative organization focused on culture, public policy, and leadership.
Our God has been so faithful!
This season is a very stressful time for me. These events are never easy, and there is much going on. Life does not slow down either. Tonight, my oldest son has a football game, and we have a jam-packed schedule across the board this week. Yet, in the midst of it all, I wanted to take a minute to express my gratitude.
To all who have supported and prayed for this ministry, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. What we are achieving is because of your faithfulness.
To all who are less familiar with us and trying to decide if we are “the real deal,” test us out. Meet with me or a team member. Come to an event. Watch the results.
To all who are curious about this Gala, GET YOUR TICKETS HERE, or reach out to
me personally if you have questions or request a scholarship for the event.
What I pray all of you see in Frontline and its leadership is faithfulness, hope,
authenticity, integrity, principles, strategy, vision, and joy. I firmly believe that’s what
you’ll experience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve you.
Looking forward to Friday,
Cole Mzuio
