To God Be The Glory --- A HUGE Victory for the Gospel in New York City!

“When the trumpets sounded, the people shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the people gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so every man charged straight in and they took the city.” – Joshua 6:20

Click here to view a history-making document…it represents the collapse of the Wall of Jericho that has kept out the Gospel for years in New York State.

What is it? It is a copy of the denial of a stay by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit that had been requested by the New York City School Board to deny the Bronx Household of Faith their equal access right to meet on Sunday mornings in a New York City school. What does it mean? The church won!

Just two Sundays ago, while awaiting the stay, members of the congregation sang “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” before they silently crossed the street to worship in their new home for the first time. Now, with this stay denied, their ability to worship there is no longer temporary, it is permanent, pending the city’s additional appeals.

And the ramifications for hundreds of small churches in New York City and in the state as a whole are huge! The locks that have kept Christians out have been ripped off the school house doors and the people can now charge in, just like they did when the Wall of Jericho fell, and worship Almighty God.

ADF Attorney Jordan Lorence who has litigated this case for over five years, all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, and then back again, said: “The schools are now open for students on weekdays, and they are now open for churches on weekends. Equal access is now the law of the land.”

None of this could have been accomplished (John 15:5) if we had not been on our knees in prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:17) or without your faithful support. Thank you for making such an incredible victory for the Gospel possible and pray for victory in all future appeals!
