Dear Friends - 

As we close out 2023, I want to share a story with you that is a powerful example of the lives and communities that have been impacted through the ministry of Christians Engaged.

This past summer, Jonathan Reaves brought his family on our inaugural ministry trip to Washington, DC. Shortly after returning home, Jonathan was asked to run for City Council by two pastors whose churches (thanks to our previous work cultivating relationships with them) are strategic ministry partners with Christians Engaged.

Because God had so deeply impacted his heart on the Christians Engaged DC trip, Jonathan said yes to running.

Jonathan and his family worked very hard campaigning, and because of his connection with the local churches in his area, he had the faith community strongly behind him.

On the November 7th Election Day, Jonathan came in second in a large field, making it into the runoff election against a candidate who was pushing a very progressive, liberal agenda for the city. 

On December 9th, the runoff date, Jonathan won 56.8% of the vote. It was a tremendous victory for righteousness!

Here is what Jonathan had to say:

“When I took my family to Christians Engaged’s DC trip this summer, God changed my life - moving my heart from pray, vote, COMPLAIN to pray, vote and ENGAGE. I could never have imagined that soon after that trip I would run for Rowlett City Council in a special election, and win the runoff. I am excited to serve the people of my city and inspire others to take our biblical values into our communities with hearts of service.”

In 2024, we want to have 1 million Christians praying, voting and engaging regularly, and see thousands of “Jonathans” raised up in our communities across America. 

Will you help us?

Please prayerfully consider making the largest year-end gift that you are able, and then sign up to help us as a monthly partner so that we may continue to empower and educate Christians nationwide.

For Liberty,
