Colorado's Democrat Governor and Attorney General chose Independence Day weekend to try to squelch Andrew Wommack Ministries' religious freedom.

"I believe it is not only our constitutional right but our duty to stop this extreme overreach of government that allows people to riot and pillage but not assemble to worship the Lord." -  Andrew Wommack

Andrew Wommack Ministries, International (AWMI) never dreamed the state of Colorado would try to shut down a Bible conference, especially after Democrat Governor Jared Polis encouraged mass protests – some led by Denver Broncos players - in his state.

Yet, halfway through AWMI's Independence Day weekend "2020 Summer Family Bible Conference," Wommack was served with cease and desist papers from the Colorado Attorney General.

AWMI went above and beyond CDC and state recommended safety measures to properly sanitize and "social distance" their gathering. Working closely with local county officials, AWMI even reduced attendance to less than 1/3 of what the sanctuary would normally hold. Gov. Polis, however, demanded the church reduce attendees to just 3% of church capacity - 175 people in the 5,000-seat sanctuary.

Yet, gatherings of thousands of protestors (not social distancing, not all wearing masks) have been permitted by Governor Polis. The governor said he understands for many, even under the safer-at-home coronavirus restrictions, "it is not possible to stay home, it is not possible to stay silent."

Protests in Denver have been permitted to proceed unquestioned. No cease and desist orders have been delivered to any of the leaders or other Colorado mass protest participants of which we are aware.

You see, AWMI believes that gatherings of Christian believers for teaching and worship are essential to fulfilling the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ. They believe the universal Church – exemplified and reflected by local churches making up their local bodies of believers – is commanded by God to "not forsake the assembling of yourselves together."

Further, AWMI believes that corporate worship is not optional. A church – no less a "body" than the human body – cannot survive dismemberment. Jesus Christ Himself declared the church to be essential in Matthew 16:17-19 and in Matthew 4:4, in that spiritual life is no less important than the physical: "...man shall not live by bread alone."

Our right to worship and practice our religion as our consciences direct is a God-given, unalienable right that cannot be diminished by mere men. This understanding of the essential nature of religion is why our Founding Fathers made religious liberty the first of the First Amendment liberties.

With YOUR help, Liberty Counsel is fighting to keep religious freedom FREE!

And we have a special opportunity right now! A generous friend of our ministry has established a generous Challenge Grant. For a limited time, every donation to Liberty Counsel will be automatically DOUBLED in impact.

This past year has been one of the most expensive litigation years in Liberty Counsel's 31-year history. We have several religious liberty cases pending before the Supreme Court and numerous federal courts on such issues as the right to display religious symbols, the right to seek Bible-based Christian counseling and the right to pray in front of abortion clinics. And we continue to defend pro-life hero Sandra Merritt, the whistleblower who revealed Planned Parenthood's "Baby Body Parts for Sale" scheme.

The new Challenge Grant is a true blessing and much needed as the battle for America's soul intensifies. Please, make your best possible donation today! America's religious freedom depends on it.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand." Ephesians 6:12-13
