On Independence Day weekend, the state of Colorado issued a cease and desist order to one of the largest Gospel and healing ministries in the world – Andrew Wommack Ministries, International (AWMI).
AWMI was right in the middle of a three-day Summer Family Bible Conference when the letter from the state attorney general was served, demanding the renowned preacher immediately stop all services and force all conference attendees to leave the property.
Citing God's Word and the United States Constitution, Pastor Wommack refused. Instead, he contacted Liberty Counsel for help.

For over 30 years, Liberty Counsel has faithfully defended religious liberty. During the COVID-19 panic, Liberty Counsel once again took the lead, this time in defending pastors and churches from the unconstitutional edicts of governors and local officials. To date, we have counseled thousands of churches as they navigate unlawfully restrictive orders.
But Pastor Wommack's decision to have Liberty Counsel represent his worldwide ministry goes deeper than just our record of winning religious liberty cases. In fact, the connection is far more personal because AWMI played a significant role in healing someone within the Liberty Counsel Ministry family.
When John (name changed for privacy) came back from special operations military service in the middle east, he was a shell of the young man he had once been. Three tours in Afghanistan, brain injury, PTSD and survivors' guilt left scars on John's heart that he just could not shake. The transition from life at war to life at home did not go well.
But Andrew Wommack Ministries gave John his first job after leaving the military, and what a blessing that turned out to be! God knew John needed to be surrounded, even at work, with people who would understand the special challenges that warfighters experience in returning to civilian life. AWMI not only gave John a job, but surrounded him with encouragement, hope and the love of Christ.
Two years later and John is a different man according to his father, a long- time Liberty Counsel pastor. The spiritual stability and strength he desperately needed to heal his physical and emotional wounds was filled, in large part, by Andrew Wommack Ministries.
No mere man can stop the will or Word of God...but that has not stopped several governors (all Democrat and all pro-abortion) from trying.
Sadly, it wasn't terribly surprising to see anti-Christian governors picking on small and medium-sized churches. But now the secular Democrats in Colorado have decided to oppress one of the largest ministries in the world.
Under the pretext of COVID safety, CO Gov. Jared Polis and his attorney general demanded Andrew Wommack shut down his ministry, even as that very same governor encouraged the mass protests and riots happening across the country and in Colorado itself.
Defend Religious Freedom TODAY and have the impact of your donation DOUBLED by the new Challenge Grant! - Select here to double your impact!
There is no longer any question as to what is motivating governors to celebrate violent protests while shutting down churches. Such actions can have no other purpose than to try to silence God and His people.
In 1989, God called Anita and me to establish Liberty Counsel to advance religious freedom, the sanctity of life and the family. We never imagined that one day we would have to defend pastors who had been criminally charged for opening their churches. Yet that day is here.
God has been on our side. Because of YOUR generosity, Liberty Counsel secured two 3-0 victories at a federal Court of Appeals, striking down a governor's executive order against parking lot and in-person services. Additionally, we have four similar cases pending in the Court of Appeals and are providing guidance to thousands of pastors and churches in 40 states.
Our docket is overflowing. That's why I am so excited that God has provided a generous challenge grant to replenish our legal fund! For a limited time, your donation to Liberty Counsel will double your ability to help Liberty Counsel. Simply select here or the graphic below.
Your donation today ensures that religious freedom will exist for our children's and grandchildren's tomorrows. Please, take advantage of the Challenge Grant today to DOUBLE THE IMPACT OF YOUR DONATION.
Finally, please be in prayer for our country, that our people will soften their hearts and return to God so that He can heal our land. Please also be in prayer for all of us here at Liberty Counsel, that the Lord will continue to protect and strengthen us.
In Christ,
