Election 2024: Christian Voters Pledge to Participate

from Hawaii Family Forum

Did you know that as many as 25 million Christians in the United States don’t vote in Presidential Elections?  In Hawaii, since 1959, voter participation has dropped to almost 50%.

Our vote is our voice and we cannot sit on the sidelines.  We must act responsibly.  

We know that Christian values are not just morals for individuals but guidelines that – broadly applied – help society thrive. We’ve seen the devastation caused when our country starts operating in ways that go against our biblical values.  All this and more has been directly fueled by the promotion and adoption of bad policies at all levels.

Can you imagine what would happen if Christians started taking a more active role in advocating for Christian values in our government?

Everything we do here at Hawaii Family Forum relates directly to our vision of “a vibrant Hawaii where faith is valued, life is cherished, families flourish, and communities thrive!” 

Ultimately, our success depends upon working in partnership with people like you from across the state and nation to defend and advance biblical principles. Plain and simple, we wouldn’t exist without people like you who are willing to take steps to help further this vision. And, we believe it is critical: (1) to elect officials who will represent and protect Christian values, and then (2) to engage with those officials once elected to encourage them to adopt good policies and reject bad ones.

We can’t tell you who to vote for because we are a 501C3 organization.  We can, however, provide resources to help you make that critical decision for the upcoming General Election on November 5, 2024.

Are you willing to partner in prayer?

Hawaii Family Forum has proudly partnered with Christians Engaged - the nation’s leading non-partisan Christian-based, voter turnout operation - to encourage Christians in Hawai’i to engage in three activities that we know have the potential to drastically change our country for the better.

It begins with a simple pledge to pray, vote and engage.

By taking the Pledge, you agree to:

  • PRAY - Commit to pray for 5 minutes a week for our nation.
  • VOTE - Commit to vote in every election (local, state, and national).
  • ENGAGE- Commit to engage your heart in some form of civic education and involvement for the well-being of our nation

If you take the pledge, you will receive (and you won’t get this from anywhere else):

  • Prayer prompts for our elected officials and nation
  • Voting reminders for the election
  • Biblical content and educational resources (these are really good!)

Additional Steps You Can Take

  • Make sure that you and your family members over the age of 18 are registered to vote in Hawai’i.  The deadline to register to vote (via paper registration) is October 28, 2024 at 4:30 p.m.  You can register to vote on the day of election as well or at any voter service center. 
  • Educate yourself on the key issues at stake in this election and the candidates who are running.  Hawaii Family Forum has finalized our 2024 General Election Voter Guide and you can view it at this link.
  • Get a head start on praying for your legislators and elected officials. Read more 

About Christians Engaged

Our national host, Family Policy Alliance, has merged with Christians Engaged to form a powerful alliance dedicated to advancing biblical values in our nation’s political landscape for generations to come. Christians Engaged has developed valuable technology and tools to accomplish this, and Family Policy Alliance and their network of independent state-level family policy councils (like Hawaii Family Forum) are utilizing their national presence to connect individuals with this valuable resource. You can learn more about this strategic merger here.

The goal is to educate and equip one million Christians across the nation before the 2024 Elections. Will you join us? 

Mahalo for your prayers and commitment!
