President Donald Trump delivered a series of notable messages and statements during Holy Week, but one in particular seemed to stand out to our audience at Million Voices: the importance of America’s trust in God.

“This is really — I hope — going to be one of the great Easters ever, because we have something going that I don’t think this country has seen in 100 years. And as we gather with family and friends, we’ll not forget the true source of our joy and our strength: America has put our trust in God,” Trump said during a Wednesday (April 16) prayer service and dinner, according to Fox News. “It will always be ‘In God We Trust.’ We will never change that.”

“You know there’s a movement to change it,” he added. “It won’t happen. We won’t let that happen. Can you imagine a movement to change that?” (MORE NEWS: One Group Of American Christians Holds A Bigger Biblical Worldview Than Majority Of Pastors)

Standing Up For Persecuted Christians

Trump went on to say he felt the previous administration failed to stand up for persecuted Christians, not just here at home but around the world. It is true that under the Biden administration, Nigeria was removed from the list of “Countries of Particular Concern,” despite at least 52,000 estimated deaths related to anti-Christian violence in recent years.

“We had nobody fighting for our Christians in other parts of the world, that were being so incredibly destroyed, killed, injured, hurt. But they died, so many died. You wouldn’t think that could happen in this time — in this modern time,” the President continued.

Trump’s statements are significant as many experts have recently called upon him to take a more strategic role in protecting Christians throughout the world, not just here at home. This seems to suggest that Trump really is listening to what the American people want. (RELATED: ‘Slaughtered On A Daily Basis’: Experts Call On Trump To End International Christian Genocide)

Rooting Out Anti-Christian Bias At Home

The creation of the White House Faith Office comes in harsh juxtaposition to what many felt was a normalized anti-Christian bias under the previous administration, particularly in the actions of the Justice Department, Trump continued, according to Fox. “You don’t hear about that very much, but there is anti-Christian bias,” he added.

“With God’s help we can overcome every challenge, triumph over every evil, and restore the spirit of faith in the United States for generations to come,” he concluded. “We have a very simple slogan: ‘Make America Great Again,’ and that’s exactly what we’re doing.”

Bringing A Biblical Worldview To America

If you’d like to be more involved with shaping America’s future outside of the major election years, why not join our nationwide volunteer Action Partner leadership team of over 140 people, serving their states and communities. Action Partners are present in all 50 states, with leadership teams in 30, and more teams forming as we grow. Each state team includes a prayer coordinator, providing opportunities for connection and prayer. State Updates offer state-specific information, and while not available in every state yet, they are expanding.

Every Monday at 11am ET and 9pm ET, we hold a national prayer call, allowing small groups to connect and pray together. In four years, over 24,000 Christians have joined this grassroots movement, standing for God in the public square and uniting believers at local, state, and national levels.

Being an Action Partner means gaining tools to impact the future for God, engaging with like-minded Christians, and finding encouragement in prayer and fellowship. If you’re interested in joining, register at www.actionpartners.org.

Keep Acting Local

Politicians you elect in your city, county, and state usually have a greater impact on your daily life than anyone in the federal government. During “off-years,” these local races send ripple effects throughout American communities. It is up to you to shape them.

It seems like every time we at Million Voices speak to lawmakers and their teams, they all tell us the same thing: if just 10 people in their district write letters about issues that matter to them, elected officials know they have a serious crisis on their hands. A thousand people could message that same lawmaker via email or social media, and it would mean nothing. But hand-written, or even printed and signed letters, will make your politicians take action (if they really care about your vote, that is).

Contacting your representatives should be easy, but there are myriad ways they can ignore your calls to action. That’s where we come in. 

Yes, Million Voices helps you with voter guides. Yes, we send letters from YOU directly to your elected officials because it’s the only way to guarantee they’ll listen to you. Yes, we publish data, articles, text messages, and help bridge the gap between education and civic action. But what do you want? Tell us today.

We want to make YOU the hero of our American story by giving you the tools you need to make a difference, from your local, state, all the way up to the federal level.

Join us in our mission to advocate for religious freedom, support fair and secure elections, and uphold the values that this great nation was built upon. Tell us what you want from the next four years, and we will fight to make it a reality … again!
