Dear John, 

Over the last few weeks, it has sometimes seemed unlikely that we
would wake up this morning seeing victory for the cause of LIFE and
religious freedom in Minnesota. While the presidential race is still
uncertain,it appears that the pro-life majority in the Minnesota
Senate has been maintained! 

We are thankful to have played a part in some of the crucial districts
where the battle was fought - notably Senate District 58
(Lakeville/Farmington) and Senate District 27 (Austin, Albert Lea),
where pro-family candidates notched up commanding victories, in
addition to Senate District 34 (Maple Grove/Rogers) and other areas,
where we successfully defended long-time pro-life champions who were
the targets of unprecedented takeover attempts, pending the outcome of
likely court challenges regarding late-received mail-in ballots.

We are also thrilled to see that the pro-life majority in the United
States Senate has similarly held strong. What does that mean? It means
that at both the national and state levels, there will be a firewall
of pro-life and pro-family champions to block pro-abortion and
anti-freedom legislation put forward by progressive
radicals. This is one of the best results we could have hoped for
here in Minnesota!

As I write this, there is still uncertainty in the presidential race.
This could be a drawn-out process - coming after a bruising,
divisive election. We also see, with sadness, that former Planned
Parenthood executive Tina Smith has won reelection to the US Senate
for Minnesota. But we are glad to see that pro-family candidates made
gains in our state - notably in Congressional District 7
(Western Minnesota), where former Minnesota Senate President Michelle
Fischbach ousted 30+ year incumbent Colin Peterson, and hopefully held
on in Congressional District 1 (Southern Minnesota), where incumbent
Rep. Jim Hagedorn leads in a race that's too close to call at
this time.  

During this time of waiting, let's put away anxiety over the
final result in the presidential race, and the as yet undecided state
races, and entrust our worries to Christ! "Put not your trust in
princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation" (Psalm
146:3). 

Instead, in the coming days and weeks, let's show the love of
Christ and the peace that surpasses human understanding to our friends
and neighbors who voted differently than we did. "Those who look
to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed"
(Psalm 34:5). Let's look to heal divisions, rather than
perpetuate them - even as we resolutely stand firm for election
integrity in disputed races. 

Let's give thanks that lives will be saved and freedoms
protected because of pro-life, pro-family majorities in the
Minnesota Senate and the US Senate, which God, in His mercy, has
wonderfully provided! And let's watch and pray for pending
results at the state and national levels, rejoicing that no matter who
ultimately prevails, "Jesus, the Savior, reigns,...He rules
o'er earth and heav'n" (Rejoice, the Lord is King -Charles
Wesley). 

Rejoicing and watching along with you,

John 

P.S. We'll be closely monitoring the disputed races, both here
in Minnesota and nationally, and will keep you informed of the
implications for all of us and our families. And we'll be
conferring with allies here and nationally as well, to plan for the
battles sure to come in the days ahead as we continue to fight for
Life, Family and Freedom. Will you click below to support this crucial
work?
