Opening Celebration
Join us for our opening celebration of America Reads the Bible on April 18th in Washington, D.C. as national leaders from all spheres of influence testify of their dependence on the Bible in their lives and call America back to the Bible as we celebrate our important 250th Birthday of America. This event will be the beginning of a monumental week as over 100+ national ministries and over 450+ of our national leaders read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation over the next seven days. This will be a once in a lifetime moment for the nation and the Body of Christ.
