Dear John,
On the Thursday before Easter, On Fire Christian Church was blocked from holding worship services.
By Saturday, the unconstitutional mandate blocking them was overturned, and the church was cleared to gather—saving their Easter services!
How did things change so quickly? What made this shift possible?
You.
Thanks to your faithful support, First Liberty was able to swiftly mobilize, file an order on behalf of Pastor Chuck Salvo the very next day, and get the order granted by a federal judge who upheld the church’s right to safely gather.
And as the first key landmark decision in favor of safe church gatherings during the COVID crisis, it became known as the “opening Salvo” in the current war on the First Amendment and our First Freedom.
This is a defining moment for the future of religious liberty, which is why your generous gift is so critical right now. Churches are depending on us to protect their rights—and because we will never charge any fees for our services, we can’t continue to lead the fight for their freedom without you.
When you go All In with First Liberty, you’ll make a direct impact on the lives of millions—not just those in churches like Pastor Salvo’s, but also everyone else who is served by churches and people of faith in their local communities.
And our churches and religious organizations need your support more than ever right now, with attacks on religious liberty at an all-time high.
As Pastor Salvo says:
“If you can, please sow a seed into the ministry of First Liberty, and help them fight for churches like ours. If there was ever a time to fight for our First Amendment rights, now is the time.”
Now is the time, indeed. Especially because when you give right now through June 30th, your gift will have more impact than ever thanks to our $350,000 Challenge Grant.
We cannot afford to sit on the sidelines. We cannot afford to let cultural hysteria drive us to fear and despair. We are faced with a historic opportunity, and we must rise to the challenge.
Please join me in standing for your constitutional rights with your donation today.
Gratefully, Kelly
