2023 Mid-Year Report
Dear Friends -
At Christians Engaged we make every effort to do everything we do without bombarding you with requests for donations. We do this strategically to protect our communication system, for the purpose of mobilizing prayer and voting around the nation, and to partner with churches and national ministries.
Because of this, we must use these brief Quarterly Reports to invite you to join our partnership team here at Christians Engaged. This report is so important, and I would be honored if you would read through it.
This quarter has been incredibly busy for Christians Engaged – launching TWO major curriculum packages and effectively mobilizing the Church – one person, one family, and one church at a time.
Now with over 100,000 Christians across all 50 states receiving our resources, Christians Engaged is positioned for massive expansion as we approach the 2024 elections. Next month, we will take a group of over 50 people on our first ministry-led trip to Washington, DC. On November 3rd and 4th in the Dallas area, we will host our 3rd annual national Wake UP! Conference, featuring headliners including the Honorable Michele Bachmann, Kelly Shackelford, and many more. In the first quarter of 2024, my book, Jesus and Politics: One Woman’s Walk with God in a Mudslinging Profession will be released nationwide on February 6th via Frontline Books/Charisma House.

In April, we released Nehemiah: How to Rebuild the Walls of a Nation, my 16-part Bible study covering the example of this biblical leader who mobilized God's people to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem in just 52 days. Since Nehemiah's release, I have spent a lot of time promoting it in Christian media, including participating in the National Religious Broadcasters conference, where I discussed the national leadership crisis we are facing today, and how we can all learn from the life of Nehemiah. I encourage you to sign up for this study, which is designed for individuals, families, small groups, and local churches!
Yesterday, we launched our latest video curriculum, Biblical Justice: Answers for Difficult Days. This 8-part course created and taught by Christians Engaged Curriculum Director, Ben Quine, offers a deep dive on what the Bible has to say about justice, and how the biblical worldview compares with what our culture says about this topic. This is a groundbreaking curriculum that will equip individuals and local churches to start educating their members on the hot topics of our day, from the foundation of Scripture! See the full curriculum and sign up here!

This year, we began a new Strategic Ministry Partnership program where we forge on-going partnerships with churches and national ministries and resource them for voter registration, voter mobilization, and education efforts. Partner ministries receive videos and articles around every election; they can co-brand a website with our PLEDGE to pray, vote, and engage with their church, and they also receive access to use all of our curriculum packages for FREE within their church culture! Ben Quine and I have been speaking almost daily with pastors as we engage with them for the long-term, at no cost to their church.
Our Area Leader program is continuing to grow as well — we now have leaders in Florida, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Indiana. Area Leaders can impact their communities with our PLEDGE system (mobilizing voters), and are also able to facilitate and teach through our curriculum packages in their homes for free. We are also continuing to book church appearances and in-person On-Ramp to Civic Engagement seminars in various cities.
Our weekly podcast show, Conversations with Christians Engaged continues to expand its reach. We saw over 35,000 people tune into one or more episodes of our series, Combating the Ideology of Transgenderism alone.

Would you help us awaken, educate, and empower Christians around this nation to pray, vote, and engage regularly? Each day, our little team wakes up eager to continue the work that God has given us to do.
Will you help us as we close out this quarter?
We are believing for 50 new monthly donors to give $250, $100, $50, or $25 a month to sustain our ever-expanding ministry and educational efforts. Would you be one of those monthly partners who puts the wind in our sails?
We are also believing for the resources to fund 2 more curriculum projects and more mass-marketing to Christians around the nation. Would you be willing to make a one-time gift of $2,500, $1,000, $500, or $250 toward a curriculum project to help us reach more Christians?
Thank you! We would not be here without faithful people like you who give sacrificially to allow us to do this work. The Church is the answer, and America is worth it!
