“Arise, shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.”

Isaiah 60:1

Taking Back Territory for Christ in Wisconsin

“FORWARD” is our state motto and FORWARD WISCONSIN is a banner to rally under designed to inform, connect, encourage, and engage the Church (Ekklesia) to keep moving forward, intentionally impacting and influencing culture to Love God and Love Others, and to grow the Kingdom of God across Wisconsin

Our Mission

To encourage and instruct the Church, the body of Christ, on biblical and practical ways to engage the culture with the Truth found in God’s Word that will transform people, communities, and cities for the glory of God.

GOD Is Moving!

It is very important now that 100% of Christians within the Church take seriously the privilege of electing our leaders and voting.   God has given us the opportunity to select those that we want to best represent us, and as Christians, we need to make a commitment to elect those that best represent Christian values.  100% of the Church should pray and vote in local, state and national elections.  Wisconsin has some very significant elections in 2026, and the differences between candidates is clear.  As Christians, our responsibility is to elect those that best line up with God’s word and our Christian values.  Please find a way to cast your vote, encourage your pastors and others within the church to be active and to find ways to assist others who may be unable to make their voice matter.   It is estimated that approximately 400,000 “Christians” across Wisconsin did not vote in 2020 and 2024.  This should not be so in the Church.  You shall see throughout this site, that from before America was even established, and throughout history, that Christians relied on God’s word to establish the foundation of this great country, One Nation under God and one in whom God We Trust.

How WE DO THIS

Explore each step of our process below to discover a thoughtful, intentional pathway for engaging the issues God has placed on your heart. Each phase builds on the next—helping you move from vision to action in a way that is strategic, sustainable, and deeply impactful.

Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to bring to your attention any specific areas of concern. Identify it, ponder it with prayer, listen for His guidance, and write it down. Be sensitive to the promptings you receive and consider the significance this has.

Romans 8:14 “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God”
Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God”

Do a little homework. What is it that concerns you? Why has the Holy Spirit brought this concern to you? What can you learn about this issue that you can share with others?

1 Peter 4:7 “The end of all things is near, therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray.”

Share your Spirit directed concern with another believer who may have the concern as well. It could be one other person or a group. Perhaps it is a school board decision, or a park that is having more homeless or drugs, or a city council meeting voting on a biblical issue. There are a vast array of  issues the Holy Spirit may bring to your mind.

Acts 15:6 “The Apostles and elders met to consider their question”
Matthew 18:20 “For where two or three gather in my name, there I am with them.”

Bring the specific issue and/or people involved to God in prayer. Make the issue or the individual(s) your primary prayer target.

Matthew 7:7 “Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you.”

Seek God’s wisdom and strategy on how He desires you to engage.  Don’t Rush!

Listen. What is the Spirit suggesting? How does He want you to engage?

James 1:5 “If any of you lacks wisdom, ask God who gives generously to all without finding fault and it will be given to you.”

Engage as led by the Spirit. Move FORWARD prayerfully, peacefully, and in actionable steps, as prompted. Volunteer, write a card or letter, make a phone call, visit the person, write a check to support. Be obedient to do what you are led to do.

Remember, as we are told in Ephesians 6, we are not fighting against people, we are warring against the evil forces in the heavenlies. We love the people involved, but move FORWARD against the enemy (satan).

Matthew 9:38 “Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore to send out workers into His harvest field.”

Share results and progress with others. This provides an opportunity to adjust strategies, rejoice, and to give glory to God for how He moved!

Hebrews 10:24-25 “let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

Why America’s Founding Faith Matters

A free nation cannot remain strong if it forgets the convictions that gave it life. The men and women who shaped America believed that our rights come not from government, but from God — a truth clearly affirmed in the Declaration of Independence. Their understanding of liberty was rooted in moral responsibility, biblical principles, and the belief that freedom flourishes best in a virtuous people. Dive into these resources, watch the videos, and rediscover the faith, courage, and conviction that laid America’s foundation.

Within each area—Church, family, government, education, communities, healthcare, business, media, and military—you’ll find specific prayer points and direction to help you engage strategically and faithfully.
