In 2024, Christians Engaged, a non-partisan civic engagement discipleship ministry, awakened, educated and empowered Christians all over America - adding in another 60 national, state wide, or local ministries and churches through our in-person programs, weekend seminars, or our strategic ministry partnership program - with no cost to them. Historically, we now have served 195 churches or ministries in some capacity - as we work with them to do voter registration drives, mobilize members through our pledge to pray, vote, and engage, and to use our educational products. At the end of 2024, we had 102 on-going ministry partners that we work with monthly. Having built the only 501(c)3 protected "get out the vote" voter mobilization communication system for Christians across all 50 states, this "take the pledge" system not only motivates Christians to register to vote but encourages them to vote in every election - local, primaries, and general elections from a biblical perspective. Leading up to each election, those enrolled receive reminders to vote and are equipped with research materials from a non partisan Christian perspective. This system is unique for the Body of Christ. Quadrupling in 2024 from 200,000 to 850,000 people opting in to this communication system, these Christians received our weekly communications on prayer, voting, and engagement and voting reminders leading up to their local elections, special elections, primaries, runoffs and the important general election in 2024. On top of that growth, we also sent 33 million emails and hundreds of thousands of texts to Christians across the nation to vote in the 2024 election. The ministry has people in all 50 states who have taken the pledge to pray, vote, and engage and we are growing around the nation through strategic ministry partnerships with national ministries and local churches, public relations on Christian TV, radio, and podcasts, and mass marketing to Christians online. We held our fourth national conference featuring nationally recognized speakers from ministry and government and facilitated an impactful Washington DC trip with three focused days on "pray, vote, and engage" in our nation's capital including 26 young people (18-30 years old) on scholarship. Through those live events - we are mentoring and moving people into their specific callings related to prayer, voting, or engagement. Online and educational activities included releasing three new full on demand video curriculum packages: Biblical Worldview: Answers for Difficult Days, Biblical Conduct: Answers for Difficult Days, and a full 20-hour Campaign School partnering with Kingdom in Politics. In addition, the organization published another 100 Online articles in 2024 (making the number 550 over 5 years), produced 52 podcast episodes of Conversations with Christians Engaged, a weekly show on audio and video, with educational conversations with elected officials, ministry leaders, and subject leader experts, that were distributed by Edifi app (Christian Post) and The Stream as well. We also laid the groundwork for two new podcast releases that launched January 2025 - The 1630 Show - to reach young adults and - Jesus for America - a devotional show during the weekdays to encourage people to understand the Word of God during their busy lifestyles. The Christians Engaged Biblical Roadmap to the Party platforms was downloaded over 15,000 times by new people coming to our website, not counting the downloads from our voting reminders and guides. We also had 650,000+ website hits and 1,250,000+ downloads of our podcast or views of our videos in 2024. On the resource side, Christians Engaged continued to give away small books to Christians who took our pledge to pray, vote, and engage in churches and through volunteers giving approximately 3,000 books away and facilitating a Book Club and tour for our founders' national release - Jesus and Politics: One Woman's walk with God in a Mudslinging Profession. By the end of 2024, in just five short years, Christians Engaged has done collectively 774 speaking engagements, media appearances, or online events by our team (225 of those in 2024). By the end of 2024, over 2,500 people have gone through one of our full curriculum courses online or in person at a church. With a strategic merger with Family Policy Alliance Foundation in 2024, we become their church and civic engagement ministry for the nation, and our team is posed to impact the nation even more in the months and years ahead. We believe the church is the answer for America and we are committed to awakening the church and empowering her to do the work of prayer, voting and engaging for the wellbeing of the nation that we all love.
