NRB President & CEO Troy Miller, NRB Members Recognized as Top 50 Christian Allies of Israel
NRB President & CEO Troy A. Miller has been honored as one of Israel’s Top 50 Christian Allies for 2024 by the Israel Allies Foundation (IAF), which annually recognizes individuals and organizations who have made significant contributions to strengthening the bond between Israel and the Christian world.
“I am grateful to be recognized by the Israel Allies Foundation as one of Israel’s Top 50 Christian Allies,” Miller said. “The past year has strengthened and reinforced evangelical Christian solidarity with Israel during Israel’s time of need, and the Christian broadcasting community has been unwavering in its commitment to moral clarity and truthful reporting.”
Christians Gather in D.C. for National Prayer Altar, Seeking Unity Before Election
NRB members, partners, and friends—joined by a large virtual audience—gathered on Thursday, October 24, 2024, at the Museum of the Bible in Washington D.C. for the seventh annual National Prayer Altar. This event, held just 12 days before the presidential election, aimed to unite Christians of various backgrounds in prayer for the nation’s future.
Pastors James and Sharon Ward, who host the annual event, highlighted the critical moment the nation faces and the need for collective prayer “to heal the land” and “preserve our nation.” The Wards are the founders of the National Prayer Altar and INSIGHT Church in Tinley Park, Ill., and lead Total Living Network (TLN) Media as chairman & CEO and vice chair, respectively.
Dave Dias, co-founder of Foundations of Freedom (FOF), is on a mission to unite like-minded individuals and organizations to address the pressing challenges facing our world. Founded in 2021, FOF emerged as a response to growing concerns about government overreach, censorship, economic instability, political polarization, and the decline of traditional values in America. The organization aims to address these issues by forging strategic leadership relationships in defense of foundational freedoms while seeking excellence and God’s glory in all things.
At the heart of FOF lies a commitment to collaboration. Dias, a lifetime entrepreneur, recognized the need for a platform that would unite people who shared a common vision. To facilitate this collaboration, Dias and co-founder Wayne Allen designed the organization’s platform, providing a place for communication, information sharing, and resource mobilization.
