Dear John,
In every generation, God raises up men and women who are willing to defend the truth of His Word -- even when it comes at great personal cost.
Today, across America, believers are being tested as never before.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk on a Utah college campus has laid bare the deep intolerance and rising tide of violence that is spreading across our land. It calls to mind the sobering words of Jesus: "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man" (Luke 17:26).
This climate of hostility is not confined to the political arena. It is spilling into every sphere where people dare to speak the truth. Pastors are losing their jobs, parents are being targeted for resisting radical ideologies in schools, medical professionals are jeopardizing their careers, and faithful Christians everywhere are facing cultural hostility in their workplaces and communities.
Consider the courage of Pastor Luke Ash. Luke is a husband, father, and bi-vocational pastor in Louisiana. In July, he was fired from his job at a public library. His crime? Refusing to deny biological reality and use male pronouns for a female coworker.
When his supervisor pressed him, Luke's answer was simple: "I'm not going to lie. I cannot do it. I will not do it."
That single act of biblical courage cost him his job.
FRC Action immediately mobilized over 25,000 believers to sign a petition demanding his reinstatement. We also amplified his story on Washington Watch, ensuring churches across America heard his call for prayer and support.
John, Luke's story should shock us. But Pastor Luke is just one of countless believers under attack.
For over four decades, FRC has stood as a shield for persecuted believers and a voice for biblical truth in the halls of power. But we cannot do it without you. Your prayers and your generous financial support make it possible for FRC to stand with courageous believers like Pastor Luke, defend families in the public square, and uphold God's truth in our culture. Will you join us?
Be a lifeline of encouragement to Christians on the frontlines
Stories like Luke's are evidence of the growing hostility to religion, and specifically Christianity in America -- a threat that our organization will continue to track and defend against, including through our recent report on hostility against churches, which has been used both on the Hill and highlighted on Fox News, Newsmax, and more.
But each of these stories also reveals the same truth: courage begets courage. When one believer stands firm, it inspires others to do the same. When Family Research Council steps in to amplify those voices, their witness is multiplied far beyond what they could accomplish alone.
That's where you come in.
When you support FRC, you are standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Pastor Luke Ash and countless others. You are ensuring that no Christian has to stand alone when the hostility of the culture comes crashing down.
Your partnership equips FRC to:
- Provide spiritual mentorship and policy expertise to lawmakers in Washington, D.C.
- Mobilize tens of thousands of Christians through petitions and grassroots campaigns.
- Equip pastors and parents with resources to confront radical ideologies in schools and communities.
- Amplify stories of courage in the media, ensuring the world sees the truth the Left wants to silence.
GIVE TODAY
Other organizations may focus only on policy or only on culture. But FRC uniquely connects both -- standing in Washington's halls of power while equipping believers in their own neighborhoods.
We ensure that every day Christians know they are part of a much larger movement for biblical truth.
And we remind defenders of the faith that they are not isolated voices in the wilderness. They are part of a great company of the faithful, from the prophets of old to modern believers standing firm in workplaces, schools, and public office.
The enemy has unleashed a coordinated assault against those who would dare speak the truth. But as a follower of Christ, here's what gives me unshakeable hope: "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:10).
This is our moment, John. This is our generation's test.
Every dollar you give strengthens the shield of support that FRC provides. Together, we can continue to defend the faith in Washington and beyond -- for this generation and the next.
Thank you for partnering with us at this critical moment.
