While this is probably not a complete list, I thought it would be good to list many of the accomplishments made by Christians during 2005. Feel free to inform me of anything you feel should be listed. They are not listed in any particular order, with the exception of the first item, which I feel should always be first in a list like this.
US Christian accomplishments and efforts in 2005:
- Spread the gospel and helped others find Christ.
- Continued working with groups like the Alliance Defense Fund, to protect true religious freedom.
- Pushed for laws in various states that protect the sanctity of life in the womb.
- Reached out to people affected by natural disasters
- Continued efforts to feed the hungry, offer shelter to the homeless and help them know of Christ while helping them to help themselves.
- Pushed for the protection of the sanctity of life, in cases where the living were unable to speak for themselves. Like the Terri Schiavo case.
- Continued efforts to protect the institution of marriage as a union of one man and one woman.
- Pressed for US Supreme Court nominees that might be more favorable to issues like protecting the sanctity of life.

I pray we Christians continue our efforts with God’s help in 2006!
