Why is the federal government suppressing evangelism? Read this important update and forward it to your friends!

Liberty Counsel attorneys are in trial today on behalf of Darrel Rundus and his Christian ministry, Great News Network, regarding a lawsuit filed against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for violating the First Amendment right to free speech and the Fourth Amendment guarantee against unlawful search and seizure.

In 2006, the Secret Service raided GNN’s office without a warrant, demanding all of their “Million Dollar Bill” religious tracts. The agents seized the tracts, claiming violations of federal counterfeiting laws. Rundus and GNN filed suit to force the government to return the tracts or compensate for the loss, and the trial began today in a Dallas, Texas federal court.

Rundus says that the tracts are extremely effective. He uses them to share his faith with others. While the front of the bill has markings similar to paper currency, no one would ever get the tracts confused with real money. The front says: “This bill is not legal tender,” “Thou Shalt Not Steal,” “Department of Eternal Affairs,” “1,000,000,” and the reverse side has multiple statements such as: “The million dollar question: Will you go to Heaven?” The tract then contains the story of salvation written around all four sides of the tract.

Great News Network has distributed over one million of the “Million Dollar” gospel tracts, which are produced by Ray Comfort and his Living Waters as an evangelism tool. In addition, an estimated 8-10 million tracts sold by Living Waters have been handed out over the last ten years, without any interference by the government.

The Internet is littered with fake bills that look much more like real currency than these gospel tracts, but the government seems to be concerned only with preventing Rundus from distributing the religious tracts.

The Department of Homeland Security should be tracking dangerous criminals instead of harassing innocent people of faith!

Pray for victory in this case!
