How are we different from other ministries that teach about America's Christian heritage?
As we have examined other ministries dealing with America’s Christian foundations, we have found a similar pattern. Most of these ministries are taking a one or two-fold approach: 1. Tell about America’s Christian Foundations/Heritage The information presented is shocking to many people because they have never heard it and they can see how far from those Christian roots we’ve strayed. Many ministries stop there. Others continue on to a second aspect: |

2. Encourage Christians to get involved in some way so we can turn America back around.
While this is commendable, unfortunately the recommendations are nearly always temporal in nature. That is, they recommend things like: vote for the right candidates, stay informed, join in political activism of some sort (like the Tea Party), join the fight against immorality (fight abortion, gay marriage, etc.). Occasionally on the long list they’ll mention witnessing so others can get saved. Other than that, there is rarely any spiritual dimension to their advice.
What is missing from these ministries is a critical 3rd component – and it is the primary focus of our ministry:
3. A call for American Christians to repent!
As per 2 Chron 7:14, God holds His people accountable for the spiritual direction a nation takes. As such, it is clear from the way things are going in America, that Christians have been unfaithful to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. That is why our ministry is calling people to:
The bottom line is that Christians need to repent and understand what living for Christ is REALLY about – as the Lord so wonderfully shows us in the Book of Acts. How much like the 1st Century Christians are we today?
Look around you. Read the headlines. If you’re not convinced that America is under God’s Hand of judgment, then please open your eyes! Our time is short. Only a 3rd Great Awakening can turn things around for America before it is too late.
Ensure your local church is part of the solution to getting America back on track! Call 325-269-1990 or email Brother Dan Charland for more information or to schedule an event.

- Repent of our apathy
- Be zealous witnesses and soul winners
- Dedicate more of our material wealth and finances to God and furthering His Kingdom
- Learn to live the Christian life by grace, not by the works of the flesh
- Live a life of full devotion to Christ and eternal things
