Can America Return to God? The Truth About May 17

Watch our full cinematic report below and join the national conversation.
A Milestone of Reflection: America at 250
For over two centuries, prayer has been woven into the American fabric, from the halls of leadership to the quiet corners of family homes. As we reach this 250-year mark, the contrast between our history of faith and our current spiritual crisis has never been more apparent.
Recent data suggests a steady decline in religious affiliation, yet the upcoming gathering on the National Mall suggests that the hunger for spiritual awakening remains a powerful force in the American heart.
The Biblical Mandate for Renewal
The hope for a nation at a crossroads is found in the timeless promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV):
“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
Three Pillars of the 2026 Jubilee
The “Rededicate 250” mission is anchored in three specific areas of prayer designed to transform the national landscape:
The Miracles that Made Us (Repentance): Acknowledging our history while seeking a spiritual turning point and God’s forgiveness for our current path.
The Miracles in Our Midst (Wisdom): Praying for discernment and for leaders to make decisions grounded in objective truth and justice.
A New Birth of Faith (Revival): Seeking a genuine spiritual awakening that moves beyond crowds and begins in the hearts of individuals.
