Before you start your weekend, take a moment and think about the men and women who won’t be home for theirs.
Different time zones.
Different continents.
Same flag.
RED Friday.
Remember Everyone Deployed.
On this day 250 years ago, our forefathers gathered for a national day of fasting and prayer. Today, Americans will come together again as one Nation under God.
This is who we are and who we’ve always been.
Rededicate 250 is taking place in Washington D.C. this Sunday. Rededicate 250 is an event to rededicate America to God and is rooted in giving Thanks for God’s presence in our national life throughout 250 years of American history and asking for his guidance for the next 250. You can watch live online at the link below. Join us in praying for the day! 🇺🇸

Today is Ascension Day, the day Jesus Christ ascended into Heaven, 40 days after the Resurrection.
For 40 days Jesus remained on Earth to prove he had truly risen from the dead. He appeared to his disciples—teaching them, strengthening their faith, and confirming that He had truly conquered death. Especially to Thomas who had to literally touch Jesus's glorified body to believe it 😂
Then, in their presence, in the Mount of Olives, after one final blessing He ascended.
As He did a cloud took Him away from their sight, echoing the same divine signs seen in Exodus and at the Transfiguration.
This moment was not a departure in the sense of loss, Jesus wasn't going away. He was going to the Father to reign in glory. He was enthroned at the right hand of the Father.
The Ascension makes something crystal clear: Christ reigns now. He rules over Heaven and Earth.
But most importantly we must remember: He will come again. Just like the angels said "He will return.
Until that day, the mission continues: to live as witnesses of what has been seen and received.
To spread the Faith to all corners of the world and to live according to His teachings.
"Whoever has my commandments and keeps them loves me. Whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them" - John 14,21
For America to be great, we must always remain one nation under God.
On National Day of Prayer, we pledge that America will always, as it is written in Psalm 96, “Tell His glory among the nations”—and that we will never forget God’s role in creating, protecting, & sustaining the freest, strongest, most prosperous, & greatest country in the world. 🙏
