“I thank Mr. Schweikert for reserving this time in the people's House to honor our friend, Charlie. Today is a really hard day. This is unexpected, obviously, but the moment we heard that something had happened, I was able to get on the phone with faith leaders throughout the Nation, and instantaneously there were prayer groups formed, mighty men and women of God, faith-filled Christians, believers who stood in the gap and interceded for my friend, Charlie. I thank God for that faith. The prayers were not in vain. God promises that His Word will produce what it says it will. I do not believe that Charlie's life being stolen in this manner is in vain. Charlie is a pioneer. A Greek word that God has brought to my remembrance each and every day for more than a decade is archegos. If you look it up in a Strong's Concordance, it is word number 747. In some way, God reminds me of this Greek word archegos on a daily basis. Even when I think I understand it, I still ask him to give me a deeper revelation. I believe today God highlighted exactly what it means. Charlie personified this word, and it is 'pioneer' in the English language. It is one who pioneers a way, who makes a way for others to follow. They may not be the originator of the thing, but someone who fearlessly takes charge; who courageously goes into the unknown; who faces adversaries unafraid, unashamed, boldly; and influences others to continue down that path; that is exactly what Charlie Kirk has done.”
