A MESSAGE FROM NANCY SCHAEFER

As Christians and vital members of a vast community of believers, we are called to God's service and challenged by Him to "stand in the gap before Me for the land."1

This clearly means obedience to His Word as we stand upon the completed works of Christ. At the heart of our earthly existence is the central motivation of service to our Divine Creator.

All Americans, particularly those with a Christian worldview, and life view should be keenly devoted to the preservation and development of the Christian foundation upon which this nation was based. As we resist the atheistic tide of belief that there is no God, we contribute to a new awakening of conscience and faith with regard to our Heavenly Father's provision for our land.

But what must the Christian attitude be if change in our land is to occur? In one word - commitment; commitment to serve God and seek His will, along with a sacrificial heart that allows the Christian to stand firm and initiate change regardless of the cost.

The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ must serve God's purpose and act as a catalyst in the re-establishment of the God centered heritage that is America. This website is dedicated to those true Christians who are committing their unwavering service to stand in the gap against the forces of evil that are bent toward turning our once Christian nation from the true and living God of liberty and freedom to the god of a secular world view; that of humanism, to materialism, and bondage.
