Dear Friend,
Last week, by a remarkable display of God’s grace and power, the House of Representatives unanimously elected Mike Johnson of Louisiana’s 4th District to serve as the new Speaker of the House. We want to congratulate Speaker Johnson on his election and are confident that he will be a Christ-centered leader who will serve the people as he stands firm for biblical values in our government.
The past few weeks have been chaotic and uncertain but looking back, we can see the hand of God at work in our House of Representatives. We prayed for a strong, pro-Israel, America First Speaker of the House who was committed to biblical truth and God answered our prayers. Last week, Speaker Johnson’s first order of business was to pass a resolution in support of our greatest friend and ally in the Middle East, the State of Israel.
We celebrate with the new speaker, as we recognize that this is truly a win for our nation. With a Speaker now in place, Congress is no longer paralyzed. While this is a huge victory, we recognize that there are still numerous challenges ahead of us.
With Israel desperately needing our support as they defend themselves against the terrorist group Hamas, and the U.S government set to run out of funding in a few weeks unless Congress approves a budget, there are many issues that need to be urgently addressed that require incredible wisdom and courage.
That is why we are calling on you once again to pray. For the next 21 days, will you join us in praying for Speaker Johnson? With government funding set to run out on November 17, these first 21 days will be vital.
To help guide your prayers, FRC has created a 21-day prayer guide for the new Speaker of the House.
