Champion of the Lord and the Preborn,
Arising early on Monday, May 18th, approximately one hundred Christians gathered together to declare at our nation's capital, "There is another King, one called JESUS and every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that He is LORD to the glory of the Father!"
We split up our forces and set up at two strategic locations. One at the Supreme Court and the other at the Senate side of the Capital. With two sounds systems operating, the praise of the Lord and the preaching of His Word permeated the buildings, highways and byways of Washington DC.
Below, Rev. Flip Benham pauses to pray as we set up at the Supreme Court. Our desire was to consecrate the grounds and this time to the Lord our God. We prayed that God would open the eyes of our Senators and this tyrannical "Hate Crimes" bill would be defeated in Jesus name! After we prayed, praised, and preached God's word, the saints of the Lord equipped with the OSA Hate Crimes packet were cut loose on the Senators.
Here is a picture of the majority of the brothers and sisters that answered the Minutemen's call. Some lobbied the Senators, some interceded, some passed out tracts, some praised, while others witnessed and proclaimed God's word and warning to our nation's capital.
Above is the famous or as most DC residents were concerned, the infamous banner that we lifted up at the Supreme Court. Not only did they dislike our banner, some went ballistic over the T-shirts we donned. The following is one account of the censorship that took place at the city of tolerance.
Brethren, we did the best with what we had, the results belong to God. Thanks for all those who prayed for us. To God be the glory!
IN KING JESUS' SERVICE,
Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas
