The tide is turning.
Persecution against Christians is on the rise in
Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Sudan, China, Oregon, and Kentucky.
Watch Their Stories
Americans, get ready for the gathering storm!
These are serious questions...
are you ready for this?
Are you ready. . . to be arrested?
Are you ready. . . to lose your children to the state?
Is your pastor ready to go to jail for refusing to officiate a same sex marriage?
Will your church be shut down?
Will Christians be forced to break the law?
Take heart!
God is preserving islands of freedom.
Get encouraged. Get equipped.
Get your community of support in place.
Get the strategies that are working.
Fortify the local jurisdictions (city and county) while preparing for federal persecution.
The Vision
Why This Conference?
The 2016 elections will be definitive. For Christians, religious liberties will be the issue.
- The Supreme Court of the United States recently legalized homosexual marriage in all 50 states in the Obergefell V. Hodges decision. Are you ready to face persecution for opposing the homosexual agenda?
- The Supreme Court let stand the New York City ban on religious meetings in public buildings in March, 2015. Are churches ready for eviction?
- The Supreme Court let stand the lower court ruling against the New Mexico photographer who refused a “gay” wedding in April, 2014.
- Religious freedom bills in Indiana and Kentucky went down in flames in April, 2015.
- American Christians are concerned. According to Pew Research, the minority group fearing persecution more than any others: evangelical protestants, a group representing some 35 million Americans. They are concerned about their jobs in a politically-correct work environment, their businesses, their churches, their marriage licenses, their parental freedoms.
- International persecution against Christians has reached epidemic levels. They are the most persecuted religious group in the world, and Christians need to know how to respond.
- The Institute for Jewish and Community Research surveyed over 1,000 college faculty members, and found that among the academic elite, evangelicals are more disliked than any other minority group in America (53% had unfavorable feelings towards evangelicals, compared to a mere 22% negative sentiments towards Muslims, and only 4% towards Buddhists).
Why should I care?
Sadly, Religious Freedom isn’t just a theoretical issue for American Christians. Everyday Christians and families are facing persecution. With an increasingly aggressive leftist minority rising, now is the time to bring religious liberties, parental rights, and freedom from big government to the forefront of consideration in national politics.
Note: Any profits from this conference will be donated to persecuted Christians in the United States and around the world.
Make an Impact!
This Is a Critical Time for Our Nation!
America is no longer the Christian bulwark it once was.
Will you join the historic battle for liberty?
- Our religious liberties are in the balance, as most of our Christian leaders know already
- The RFRA battles in Indiana and Arkansas have only accentuated the force of the rising opposition.
- The Iowa caucuses commence in January of 2016 (six weeks after the conference), and the Christian conservative element will have its largest impact at the outset of the race
- The presidential candidates need to hear from us, if this issue is important to our Lord and to His people!
This is THE ISSUE for the 2016 elections.
Will Americans stand for religious freedoms, or will we lose them?
Will sexual license trump religious liberties?
This conference will focus on:
- Strategizing. . . to defend liberties.
- Encouraging. . . to stay in the battle.
- Educating. . .on the historical battle for freedom.
- Teaching. . .to handle persecution as Christ would.
- Directing. . .our leaders to bow the knee to the King of kings.
Who should come?
- Christian Parents
- Christian Schools, Colleges, & Teachers
- Christian Business Owners & Employees
- Christian Pastors & Chaplains
- Christian Statesmen
Celebrate 800 years of freedom in the Western World, since the Magna Carta was signed at Runnymede in the year 1215 A.D.!
