As the nation marked the beginning of a new era in the United States, a Florida-based Christian ministry took the opportunity to spread the gospel to tens of thousands in Washington, D.C.
Faith & Liberty, in partnership with Seedline International and HOPE to the Hill, distributed 50,000 Bible booklets to attendees of President Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration.
The commemorative booklets, featuring Scripture from the books of John and Romans, were handed out by 50 volunteers throughout Inauguration Day. “In times of national division like America has recently seen, a new presidential administration can offer hope,” said Peggy Nienaber, Senior Vice President of Faith & Liberty. “The commemorative Scripture booklets were published for this significant occasion for that same reason, to offer hope to people in the Savior Jesus Christ.”

Despite the frigid conditions the outreach continued undeterred. President Trump, citing safety concerns for attendees and law enforcement, moved the inauguration ceremony indoors to the United States Capitol Rotunda, a decision reminiscent of Ronald Reagan’s 1985 ceremony during similarly harsh weather conditions.
Trump also announced that Capitol One Arena hosted spectators to watch the inauguration live, offering a space for supporters to gather safely. Later in the day, he visited the arena and signed executive orders as one of his first official acts as president.
Faith & Liberty expressed gratitude to its ministry partners for making this large-scale evangelistic effort possible. “This was an important outreach to point those in the capital on Inauguration Day to Christ,” Nienaber said.
The presence of such ministries at major national events highlights the importance of Christian outreach in seizing every opportunity to share the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Large gatherings, whether political, cultural or social, presented a unique chance to engage with individuals who might not otherwise encounter the gospel message. Evangelistic efforts like those seen at Trump’s inauguration served as a powerful reminder that Christians are called to be light in the world, using every occasion to spread the message of hope and salvation.
As the nation entered a new chapter, efforts to bring Christ to the forefront remained essential. Whether through distributing Scripture, personal evangelism or prayer, we have a responsibility to make the most of every opportunity to share our faith and fulfill the Great Commission given to us by Jesus Christ.
