 That's exactly what happened to Bishop Rick Painter of Christ the King Liturgical Charismatic Church. He rang the bells of his church as an expression of praise to God, until the city of Phoenix wrongly determined that the bells violated a local noise ordinance and a judge sentenced him to jail!
By God's grace, a federal court ruled that the city could not apply its noise ordinance against churches and restored religious freedom for Christ the King and other local churches so they can publicly exercise their faith.
As extreme as it seems, Bishop Painter’s story is not unique. There are countless Christians - just like you - who are discriminated against or punished for trying to freely live out their faith.

We are trusting in God to provide $2.7 million by June 30, so we can finish our fiscal year strong. Your best gift will provide the momentum we need to win!
